CLOUDS LIFTING!

I got a damn job!!

At some point in mid-June, under the advice of my coach, I asked my sister for help. I got down on my knees, put my head to the floor, and, after honoring God for the day and bringing me thus far, I asked my sister to step in and help me. “Enough is enough,” I said. As someone whom I have loved, who loved me but, unfortunately, has passed on to the next realm, she has spirit-access to my life, complete with the powers and privileges given to guardian angels. As all our ancestors gain upon transitioning.

“I need a job,” I begged. “You and dad are watching me struggle and suffer here with mom, with no means to support myself, and it’s not okay.” I got a little gully with it. “Fix it,” I proclaimed! I was desperate.

A week later, a thought of Melissa, my sister, popped into my head. “Remember that company you interviewed and got really far with last year? Hit them up,” she urged in my spirit. I gave the thought fleeting attention, taking note it was a good idea, and then quickly moved on. I interviewed with this company, over the course of two months, for two open EA positions, progressing further and further with you-belong-here reactions, only to hear, “We’ve gone with someone else,” just before Thanksgiving. Le sigh.

Melissa, right before the 4th of July, persisted. “You haven’t hit them up. Reach out,” she said. I remembered what my coach said about being obedient. So I emailed my contacts at the company who rejected me.

Why did those people email me back saying it was good to hear from me; they actually had an open EA position open in the LA office; and they wanted me to meet with the LA hiring manager?!

Y’all!

I interviewed with two people: the hiring manager and the consultant I’d be supporting, and, within the month, I got an offer!

Bestie offered, “At some point it’ll be clear why you got it now vs. last year. There’s a reason.” It proved true. The consultant I support is, perhaps, the nicest person I’ve ever worked under. We are both kind and like-minded, which bodes incredibly well for our being able to work together successfully. Plus, throughout my onboarding, whenever a company associate asked who my consultant is, and I replied, almost every single one responded, “You got a good one!”

And, as I’m discovering, I enjoy the work?! BLESSINGS!!

I’ll leave it at that, but I say all this to say…

There is power and purpose in honoring God. Something Denzel Washington said comes to mind. “I pray you put your slippers under your bed tonight. So that when you get up in the morning, you have to get on your knees to reach them. And while you’re down there, say, ‘Thank You. Thank you for Grace; thank you for Mercy; thank you for Understanding; thank you for Peace; thank you for Prosperity…say ‘Thank You’ in advance for what’s already yours!” There is also power in asking, earnestly, for what you want. The experience of manifesting this wonderful job has taught me both of those things to the point of now holding them as Gospel.

You gotta do the work, but what you want is, in fact, possible beyond understanding or imagination.

I’m Grateful. And I’m bouncing back!
