Earlier this week, I received an email from my baby sister
(thanks sis!) titled “One Door Closes, Another Opens”. It was speaking of Revelation 3:8 where Jesus
says, “I know thy works: behold, I have
set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast kept my
word, and hast not denied my name.”
You may have seen this in a spam email or text message before. I may have to, but upon receiving it this
particular day, this Word really became life to me!
On a previous blog, I shared that I had become a Caregiver and was offered positions by two agencies for “on-call”
assignments. I thankfully accepted those
positions and assignments, and trusted God would provide me with a permanent
position that would give me the days and
hours that I wanted to work (to accommodate my school and study time). Over the past two months, I’ve been faithful
with the “on-call” assignments I’ve been given.
All the while expecting God to give me a permanent position. I had spoken to the supervisors at the
facility where I had been working “on call” about possibly becoming permanent. Due to their set schedule rotation, they were
not able or willing to accommodate my availability. I wasn’t discouraged, because I trusted and
knew God was going to provide me a position that would accommodate my
availability. I’m sure you know where this is going….. Yes, God did just what I
expected Him to do!!!! This week, I learned that the facility where I had been
working “on-call” (the most) had filled the position. This means they would not be needing me as
much as they have been the past couple of months. BUT GOD!!!! Yes, MY GOD opened another door
for me!! This week I also had an interview for a position at another facility
that is opening a memory care unit. FYI:
I was working in the memory care unit at the other facility….talking
about God opening doors!!!!. He knew the
plans He had for me all along!!! (Jeremiah 29:11) The morning after my interview (the same day
I received the email about Revelations 3:8), I received a call following my
interview to tell me they wanted to offer me a position! I now know God was
preparing me in the “on-call” position for this new position!!! He knew that He had something greater in
store for me!!! Not only are they willing and able to accommodate my schedule,
God also gave me a pay raise! A whole
$1.32 more per hour!! LOL!! PRAISE GOD!!!! I thank God for increase!!! God’s ways
and timing are so amazing and perfect! I’m in AWE once again! HALLELUJAH!!!! I know God is my Provider and
He alone provides ALL my needs! GOD OPENS DOORS NO MAN CAN SHUT!!!! I AM HIS!!!!
