I had been unhappy for a long time in my job. It just wasn't the right fit for me, I didn't feel I was doing anything to benefit other people and I didn't agree with some of the things that were going on there. I was praying to God to deliver me from the situation, to put me somewhere I would not only enjoy but also thrive in. Some place that would use my talents for greater good. Some place where the company and the people had a mission I fully agreed with. Some place that had a vision I could get a hold of.
Meanwhile, I didn't know it but the owners of the business I eventually went to work for were praying for the right employees. Everything was set up for me, but I was becoming frustrated with the timetable of God's plan. Job offers would come in, but they just weren't the right situation. Or, I would think 'this is it -- this is the perfect job' and they wouldn't offer it to me. Instead of trusting in God, I became increasingly frustrated. I had a bad attitude and I knew it.
Just when I reached the breaking point, you stepped in. I honestly believe God sent you to me to prepare me for the blessing. I believe some blessings are out already out there, waiting. We just need to be ready to receive them.
You showed up at my place of employment on that day and gave me encouragement. You told me I desparately needed to relax and instructed that I soak in a lavendar bath -- undisturbed -- that very night.
I took the lavendar bath as you suggested, and awakened in the middle of the night afterward. I couldn't sleep so I logged on to the Internet. I went to Careerbuilder just to see what was there and saw the ad for my current job. I left my old job three weeks later, and I am now helping people and using my background and skills which are perfectly suited to the new job. Thanks so much for listening to me and offering advice that day. I was in a bit of a funk and really needed it!
