hey guys sorry it took me so long to write an update to my SOS last month, but i just wanted to wait until God's response was totally complete. and it became complete this past Friday!!! GLORY!!!
so i found out i was loosing my job about a month ago on a Thursday. i sent out an SOS asking for prayer the next day on Friday and the next Monday, 3 days later, as i was working at my part time job, collegegear, my bosses basically asked me to come work for them full time because they REALLY need me. how stinking awesome is that?! i was never scared or worried. i had God's divine peace and joy the whole entire time because i knew He would provide for me and He totally did!!! The transition was so smooth and flawless, God never missed a beat and i was NEVER without an income!!!
however, when i did the math, i figured out that i would be making less money at collegegear. i figured out how much more i would need to make per hour for it to be the same it turned out to be a 4$ raise. pretty big raise considering i was already making pretty good money. i didnt want to ask for it. i HATE asking for money. doesnt matter who it is. i mean i ask God all the time, but i dont like asking people. so i started praying to God that they would offer me a raise so i wouldnt have to ask. but then i kept remembering the same verse over and over again: Ask and you shall recieve. so finally i decided to ask. this past monday i boldly (lol) walked up to the owner of the company and asked him if i could have a raise. he seemed a bit reluctant as he told me he'd have to talk about it with my boss and and he'd let me know tomorrow. so Tuesday comes... nothing. Wednesday - nothing, Thursday - nothing, it's Friday and he has yet to say anything to me about the subject. so i start talking to God, "Lord, its Friday and i want a testimony to tell in church tonight so You need to do something TODAY!!! I want to know TODAY!!!" so right before i leave to go home for the day i walk to the owner's office and ask him if he had a chance to speak to my boss about it yet. he says that he just sent him an email and all three of us will have to find a time to sit down and talk about it. so i thank him and leave. i'm thinking, whats there to talk about? either i get one or i dont. he hasnt asked me how much i want, mind you, and i already have a specific number. so i'm a bit bummed out taht i wont know today, but its all cool, i TOTALLY trust God and i TOTALLY know i'm getting a raise! so i go to my interview with Sylvan, get hired on the spot (GLORY!!!!) have lunch with a friend and go to Bel Square to meet up with more friends. As i'm parking my car, my boss, with whom i have ridiculous favor mind you, texts me and asks how much i'm making now. hello, arent you supposed to know that?! jk. so i tell him. he then asks how much do i want to make. so i tell him. and then i pray. hard core. in tongues lol claiming that raise! i'm pretty nervous because he doesn't respond for a long time but i just keep praying. in my car lol. so finally he responds and i'm a bit scared to open it but i do. this is what it said: "Approved, DT (the owner) says you're well worth the money even though we are on a tight budget ;)" i scream. loud. and tell God that i love Him and He is SO great!!!
so yea, that's how God took AMAZING care of me. i have a full time job with a BIG raise and a great part time job as well... :) God is SO good. i totally trusted Him to provide for me and He finished what He started... Hes a good dad... He takes good care of His kids :)
