I want to thank God for all He’s done for me.

So, I’ll backtrack to last year for better context. I was in a previous position and the job was going well plus I had just graduated from the university. So, in March/April, the project I was working on was stopped abruptly because the client pulled out. This made me worry because I thought I would get laid off, so many thoughts crossed my mind… Anyway, I did get laid off, on April 19th, 2023  and I remember vividly, my manager saying “It’s not your fault and it’s not based on your performance” so I left. I told P.Tej and Lady T, so they both advised me and asked that I lift the letter thanking God, so I did exactly that.

I had applied to so many jobs and I decided to go on a fast in May because I told God that I would get a job before the end of the month. God visited me, church! I got two offers, one of which I got on May 31st, 2023. God blessed me with a job! I was happy, ecstatic and thankful.

The new job had a probation of one year, meaning my probation ended in June 2024. Fast forward to the end of January this year, I had a 1 on 1 with my boss and let’s just say it did not go as well as I hoped. At that point, I reached out to my mentor who helped me handle the situation. So, I was filled with anxiety, worry and just stress. I decided to start applying to other roles and I started taking up tasks with different teams to build my references (in the case I left the organization).

In March, I reached out to a particular team – Design and asked that I assist them with ongoing projects. So, I got one and started working on it. While working, the Holy Spirit prompted me to check the job portal of my organization, which I adhered to. I saw a job posting under the team I worked with. They were hiring a Design Project Manager, so I applied in faith and got an invitation for an interview. I was overjoyed, so I had the interview, but they went with another candidate.

Days passed, so I went to see my Senior Project Manager to discuss some changes to the project when another Senior PM mentioned another Design PM role opening. She advised me to apply as she thought I would be a good candidate. I remember going to my desk and her director messaged me on Teams asking me to apply for that same role. So I knew it was God and so, I did.

Church, this interview was much more rigorous than the first and I remember PTej calling to pray with me. I had waited for two weeks and hadn’t received a callback so I began to worry and stress and just worry even more. The following Sunday, Sis PY shared her praise report about her job.  I tapped into her miracle and declared that God would visit me. So the scripture I held onto was Isaiah 46:3-4 which says:

“Listen to Me,” [says the Lord], “O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel, You who have been carried by Me from your birth And have been carried [in My arms] from the womb, Even to your old age I am He, And even to your advanced old age, I will carry you! I have made you, and I will carry you; Be assured I will carry you and I will save you.”

The following week, I kept declaring this and held onto this scripture. Church, I got the job! The Senior PM told me and I was so thankful. I want to thank P.Tej for his encouragement and prayers, God bless you, Sir.
