Proverbs 16:3
" Commit your actions to the Lord and your plans will succeed"
This week has been such an incredible week for me. God has blessed me in ways that I could have not imagined! I am in such a great place now, I feel really good and I wanted to share it with you guys, y'know to help encourage somebody out there.
This is my testimony. For some people it might not be a big deal,but for me, anytime that God comes in, puts me on the side and takes total charge of my life is a BIG deal for me.
I basically spent this entire summer looking for a job. I cannot tell you guys how many applications I sent out and how many rejections I got. It was a lot! Months before the summer even started, I told myself that I was not going to do any mediocre job (no disrespect). I wanted something better for myself. I wanted a job that would help me build my resume, make me stand out and kinda like also open doors for me in the future. I challenged myself to step out of faith, go out there and make things happen. The process was not easy, it was plain hard. Rejections after rejections! I could have given up right? Yes, but I did not!
I have gotten to a point in my life where failures, setbacks and rejections don't scare me at all. They push me, they make me even more hungry, they make me want more, they make me want to prove something to myself! Psh, back in the day, one NO would have crashed me lol. I hated to fail, I always wanted everything to be perfect, to go the way I planned it. But I have learned that failure is part of the process. I don't know if this makes sense but I feel like success wouldn't have any meaning if there's no failure or rejection or setback.
For the past three weeks, I have been offered three job. I can see that God has turned the tables. Lol I literally went FROM being so desperate and hoping that job recruiters would at least look at my resume and consider me, TO them hoping that I would pick their company over the others. God is so good!!! I did not see this coming!
I know that I am not the only one facing this kind of struggle. I know that most of my college graduates can relate. Dont give up! Dont let the rejections crash you. You're so much bigger and stronger than that. Get up and keep in mind that every No you get is a few steps (could be 1, 2 or just a few more) away from your Yes. Look at every rejection as a chance to make yourself look better! Ask questions, do a lot of research on how to make your resume/cover letters stand out, how to prepare and answer questions properly at interviews, etc. Use this time to brand yourself.
I know that this is a difficult time but know that if God be for you, nothing can be against you. I will keep you all in my prayers and I pray that God gives each and everyone of you the desires of your heart. But until then, keep pushing and keep pressing!
Love you all.
