Rain After the Drought

Jasmine B. Suiza / November 8, 2019

There was a phase in my life that I felt so disconnected from all of my relationships - with myself, my loved ones, and even from God. I felt like I was a different person. I was far from the 'Jasmine' that I know.

My once happy life all came crumbling down in front of me, and I know what I had to do. I had to change my ways. But this time, it has to be real. I had to start somewhere. I decided that the first step that I should take is to resign from a job that pays me well.

"Paano kung wala na akong mahanap na magandang trabaho?"

"Saan ako kukuha ng pang-gastos?"

"Di na ako makakatulong sa pamilya ko."

There were so many thoughts running through my head. But I brushed them all off.

"Lord, Ikaw na po ang bahala."

I placed my full trust and faith in the Lord.

I just surrendered everything in His hands.

After almost 2 months of rest, a head hunter from LinkedIn sent me a message, inviting me for a job interview. I was hesitant at first, since the office will be in BGC, Taguig City. Just imagining the daily traffic jam makes me cringe. But I gladly accepted the offer and went through the hiring process.

Through the Lord's providence and faithfulness, He gave me my new job, in the same company, but in San Juan City! I am now part of a health company where I can hone my profession as a Nutritionist - Dietitian.

Here are more blessings from my new company:

1. We hold weekly prayer meetings!

2. We are provided daily with free lunch and  snacks.

3. I can apply all my new 'practical' learnings with myself, family and friends.

The Lord answered my prayers, not only of financial abundance, but also of restored relationships. I can now spend quality time with my family, go on weekend trips, and serve Him every Sunday.

Truly, the Lord wants to bless all areas of our lives, we just have to trust in Him and His most perfect timing. After the drought, the rain will surely fall and bring great harvest.
