Need a solution for unemployment? I may have what you need in this story. This story will inspire you and may provide you with the solution to your current problems.

I attended college in 1999 and graduated in 2003. I had two four year degrees from Penn State. I moved back to N.J. after graduation and did not have employment. When I graduated, I had become closer to God and had begin to truly understand why a relationship with Him was needed in my life.

I begin going to the unemployment office sending out three resumes per day. I was determined to get a job. I would pray, read my bible, and fast on a daily basis so that I can hear from God. During this time of searching and unemployment, I did not worry about having a job because I knew God would take care of me. The bible says "Seek Ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and ALL things shall be added to you." So, I sought the Kingdom.

While I was sending my resumes, I also would go to the parks and witness to other people about Christ. Approximately, one month later, I received a call for employment with a company similar to the company I used to work for while I was a college student. I started working there. I then applied for another job that had more pay. I asked God for it in prayer and He answered my prayer. I soon started working at the new place in NJ.

While at the new place, I was on a probation period for 90 days. On this job, there was a lot of gossiping among the staff and the atmosphere was not healthy. I was soon told by my supervisor that she didn't believe that "I could fly." I was then released from the job.  I went home and cried out before the Lord. I prayed and fast again.

I remember going to see the play by Tyler Perry "Madea's Class Reunion." There was a part in the play that mentioned an older woman being fired from her job. Soon, this woman owed part of the job. The movie really encouraged me. I continued to submit my resumes and prayed daily. I was told one day by someone at the unemployment building that there was one spot left for a teacher position for an outreach. I applied for the job and was immediately hired. I was hired for the job a week after I was fired. One week is 7 days. Seven is the number of perfection. The job was the job God had set out for me.

The new job allowed me to only have to work four hours a day and I was paid $20 an hour. I loved the job. It allowed me to teach women who receive governement assistance basic reading, writing, and math skills. I also taught them job related skills (i.e. interviewing). I was there for a while.

God soon opened up a better door with social services. I recieved great benefits. I currently work for social services in VA now while trying to get my nonprofit organization (Kingdom Expansion Enterprises Inc) and my speaking/writing business off the ground. God has blessed me with employement. Since getting our of college, I have not stopped working. By the way, I moved to VA to get married and didn't have ajob immediately. I moved down to VA by faith believing that I would get a job. Fifteen days later, I received a job. ISN'T GOD GOOD???

If you don't know HIM, You need to. He loves you and wants to know you. He is my provider and can be yours today!

Lakeisha,

I definitely stumbled across a blessing when I ran across your page. I love what you stand for, your encouraging words, and your testimony. God blesses us so that we can bless others. It's amazing to see an individual who is not afraid to stand naked before the world to reveal how God has moved in your life.....I've been there. Jehovah Jireh.....He will always provide!!!

Hello, I am brand new to Authorsden. I read this article, and I appreciate your testimony for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Do go to YouTube and view my video, "Help For A Hurting World." I am led of our Lord to encourage the abused, whether sexually, phyusically, emotionally, or verbally. I am also on Google Videos and various Blog sites. I want to helpl people who are hurting in our world today. Our economy causes financial stress in many ways, but abuse hurts so many. I appreciate you getting the Word out. I recommend some good reading and a helpful organization for this subject matter. Look up, <http://atime2heal.org> Her book, "Run For Your Life", is awesome. She is working on Book 2 of a three books series. I recommended this web site to her. She is a published author, and she travels around sharing on this subject matter. The book is about a runaway teen, which she was, and it is a must read. God Bless you. Isn't God "Terrific"? I am so blessed to be able to encourage you. God will take care of your needs, "Now", don't be concerned. He is only a breath away. Smile; for God loves you and so do I. Elizabeth

What a blessing to read your story!!! All things are possible to them that believe, and Mark 11:24 says "..whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you receive it, and it will be yours."
