Yo, God is Faithful
“Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him”. Hebrews 11:6
So, I have been unemployed (full-time) since September. At times since, I have been stressed out some days and at peace other days. When I took that step to leave that last work situation (which had become hell on earth) I knew in my heart that God was going to take care of me. I left without a replacement job, a place to live, or any formal plan (other than my 3 weeks of road tripping and filing an unemployment claim with the employment commission). I just had enough faith in my spirit to walk away from a lot of money, a lot of security, and a lot of stress. The passion for urban planning and the city was just too much for me to ignore.
Needless to say, my mom thought I was crazy and my sister said that I should have made more plans. I got tired of sleeping on the couch (a tough 2 weeks) and not having enough money to do everything I wanted. At times I felt like an idiot when I received another rejection letter in the mail or had to tell someone that I was “in transition” and not working full-time. But I knew in my heart that God was going to doing something big for me. So I waited and prayed and waited some more. As you know, I even began interning for free and waiting tables to pay the bills. Every month, I was able to pay all of my bills and though at one point I had lost 10 lbs, I still manage to eat healthy and sufficiently.
It all has been worth it as yesterday I got an offer for a full-time position in Richmond with an urban planning consulting firm. I am so excited. The position entitles just about everything I want to learn and do. Our clients work for the “little guy” and are able to build capacity and creatively implement change. God has really blessed me!
Also, I get to live in a real urban area again where I can hear some good live music, go to plays and museums, and bike to work (if I am not wearing a pencil skirt and Nine West heels that is). I think my life is just beginning again…28 is going to be the shiznitttt!!! Maybe I’ll get a boyfriend (opps, I guess I just dropped one of my New Year Resolutions).

Many Congrats!! God is truly faithful at all times. He speaks in a whisper and sometimes all he wants is for us to be still and quiet, so that we can hear him. Many blessings on your new adventure!!
