Miracle Job

So, I've been really focusing on praying for healing, making it my top priority. There were other things I wanted to pray about too, but I kind of put them on the back burner. During one of my prayer sessions, I got really emotional and told God about all these other things on my mind, especially about finding a job. But I decided to just keep praying for healing and let the rest wait. As I could not abstain from food fast, I decided to intensify my prayers, study the word and stay away from distractions towards the end of last year into the new year. Now, here's where it gets interesting. On the very first day of January 2024, I started applying for jobs. And guess what? Just a week later, out of the blue, I got a call from a recruiter about a job I hadn't even applied for! It was a temporary role right in my area. I live in this quiet, rural village, so I wasn't expecting much in terms of salary, but I decided to aim high anyway. Fast forward to the interview day 10th Jan 2024 - the night before, I was so exhausted I couldn't pray. I just spoke in tongues and somehow dozed off. I remember waking up in the middle of the night, saying, "This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes," a line from a scripture PG preached about on the 3rd of Jan The interview was more like a casual chat with the CFO, who shared her life story with me. After the interview, the recruiter called to check in to discuss pay and the possibility of a permanent position. Honestly, I was looking for something temporary because I was planning to go on maternity leave in a few weeks time. They asked for what I would like as remuneration, I told them the base salary I wanted and that I was also offered a car allowance in my previous role. To my surprise, they offered me exactly what I wanted, including a car allowance, even though the job was just five minutes from my house without negotiation. Reflecting on it all, I realised this job in the oil and gas industry, so close to my home in a village, with a 50% pay increase was nothing short of a miracle. Help me praise the Lord for this blessing! He is indeed carrying me on eagle wings.
