It surely is long over due but God still deserves the glory and thanks!! This is my testimony of how God blessed me with a job despite a long wait and many obstacles that came along the way. It was about 8 months of waiting but its truely a time of being matured and pruned by God which i would say is truely priceless. God hears prayers and is in control of everything, thus my soul is at peace. Henceforth, here we go:
Arriving in mid September 08 with high hopes, praying and believing God that I will get a job and start work within a month. Begin looking and applying for jobs, to my surprise I got no replies or job offers. The search begin to stretch to overseas job as well but nothing. Spirits was still high until I had to travel back and forth Singapore and Malaysia. This lasted for couple of months and thus I couldn’t apply for jobs and the rhythm was broken.
Next, things started to get worse, skin condition just turn from stable to worse out of the blue. I struggle with it and the weather and environment just make it worse. I was caught in a situation where even if I can get a job or interview, I am in no condition to go for it. I continued to send out heaps of application as well as continue to trust God for a job and recovery.
As I continued waited and waited, I contined to pray and trust God together with my friends and care group. Out of the 7 months, I got only couple of recruitment agencies saying, “We’ll will sent out your application and see how it goes.” and in the end nothing came back. Silence and more silence. I have a total of 4 interview opportunities. 2 was totally unsuccessful, 1 was the company cancelled the interview and arrange on a day which I can’t attend, requested for a change in date but no reply came back from them. Frankly speaking, I was really tired and desperate. Losing hope and faith level was really drooping.
But with encouragement from Care group and friends, continue to press on. Finally got a interview with Salvation Army. Everything when well, I figure out that I gotten the job. But yet in the end, I can’t get the job because of a lack of funds after a budget scheduling. Hopes were totally dashed and I was at the point of giving up but by God’s grace and strength, manage to pull myself up and press on. Another long silence and waiting.
Finally, I got a interview with Mitsubishi. I prayed really hard and prepared for the interview. God really blessed me as on that day, I forgot the points that I prepare and left all my notes at home. But the interview went really smooth and well, everything that was forgotten suddenly all pop into my mind. I truely sense the peace and joy of the Lord throughout. About a week later, I received a call for another interview and praise God, I got the job. Next best thing happened, I broke my collar bone just 1 week before work start.
I was devastated. It like the moment I got the job, I was on the verge of losing it. But God gave me the assurance that was the job He has planned for me. It was truely difficult time trusting God that the company will wait for me. God is the One in control of everything, the company waited and gave me a month hoping that I will be able to go to work. Two dates were given 12th and 20th of May, I started praying and believe that I can start work on thw 12th and God answered it! I got the job! Praise God!!
