God opens doors!

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!!!!
