I was meant to start a new role (let's call it Job A) in early December. However, the week before I started, I was offered another role in Job B within
the same company. Job B is more aligned to my interest and experience. My
heart's desire was Job B.
I was wondering why things happened in a timing
which I didn't expect. I was praying for a miracle from God. That he would
release me from Job A to be able to accept Job B. It is challenging to start a new job on day one and tell your new boss that you wanted to move to another role! I prayed
earnestly and asked for prayers.
I spoke to the manager of Job A and she agreed
to release me. I accepted Job B. Job B was not meant to start until early
January, but they moved forward my start date to December knowing my
circumstances. All transition was sorted in a week.
The timing of things may be
inconvenient but it has taught me a few things: 1. I have experienced how God
work things in my life but this is a miracle. When he opens a door no man can
shut it. When you have experienced him in a powerful way, it will never be the
same again. 2. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and
produces wonderful results. James 5:16 (NLT) The power of prayers from my Life Group, friends, etc that have lifted the request to the throne of the
Father. This transforming experience has made me realise that 'He made all
things beautiful in His time'. Ecclesiastes 3:11. I look forward to the many
greater things that are yet to come. May God's name be glorified through all is
said and done.
