Once Jobless, Never Empty in Faith

I was once posted here a year ago. Those days I was so thirsty to strengthen my faith and kept holding on to what will be my future here in Canada. Yes! Canada is such a beautiful country and a key for all dreamers. I was also one of the millions people who kept reaching for a better tomorrow.

I shared here before those days I had not got any job for 5 months. In my whole life I never been stuck in this situation. I have not been before. My routine before were only reading bible, jogging morning and evening. I did not know where to ask help for. I never had a single idea.

However, the unending patience God restored in me that I will never bargain in any amount of penny. I had no job for a longest months. I felt I was tested by my faith. Still, I never gave up. I was starving for faith and hope. I was listening to gospel online every day and listening to Christian worship song every morning and evening when I went jogging. I went to the library to kept studying the verses in the bible. I kept writing verse and went to the park reading bible and listening to gospel. I was never empty though I was jobless. I even went to the exit still reading moaning for hope and kept praying telling myself ” Thy will be done”. I never gave up still praying and praying wholeheartedly. I was jobless but never empty in faith.

The power of prayer was like a universe for me. I fed myself with hopes and empowered my Canada’s life with a huge bag of faith. I may have lost everything money, education, career and even most expensive material things but I will never ever bargain my faith. “WALK BY FAITH in CANADA”. There was one verse sank in my mind “, James 1:5 NIV said,

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”

I could not comprehend my purpose, yet I sought divine wisdom every single day. God almighty enlightened and empowered me as a woman of faith. I did my research I never gave up looking for jobs and asked for help online, but I never got any help. God’s wisdom showered upon me those days. I kept on trying I got help from Canadian government and the most miraculous thing happened.

I have a friend where I rented a place with, she was pregnant at that time. I found Michelle B. who helped me a lot in my documents. She was the one who did all the things. June 11, 2024, I got my working permit and took a breath and said, THANK LORD!

Still my days never ended there. I had a working permit but no job and the woman I was living with treated me bad. But I tried to understand her emotional outburst. She told me when I will be living her place although I paid her 500 a month by sleeping on the sofa in all my stay for 5 months. She scolded me and she spoke words that I could not swallow but I always went out jogging and went to the forest to read bible.

I decided to find place to stay I found the couple who had a room to be rented. She was pregnant I remembered that I touched her womb and wished to have a job. She saw a post on Facebook looking for ECE. She told me try to apply I did not doubt to connect to the employer.

I had my initial interview, teaching demo and final interview. As Mark 11:24 said,

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

And that day I went to the exit to pray and went to the prayer room and prayed. Indeed believe and claim it because God heard our prayer. I was once jobless but not empty by faith. Now, I am still working in the same day care. Due to my busy work, I could not have time to update and share my testimony.

There were times in life we felt in the darkness shadow, felt hopeless, felt no one to run on, no hands to hold us. However, when we sustain our lives with unwavering faith. God heard our hearts desire. I always believe in this, Jeremiah 29:11 NIV said,

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

I was once JOBLESS, BUT NEVER BEEN EMPTY IN FAITH.” Jesus Christ sustained me through my journey here. Jesus is never blind to my tears, never deaf to my prayers and never silent to my pain. I am still walking by faith here in Canada packed with a luggage of hope, strength, love, trust and wisdom.

Jesus taught me that life is survival not on what I saw but what I felt in my heart through believing that as I kept my journey Jesus always made my path clear and buckled with divine wisdom. I found a job because God almighty father touched the hearts of these employers, Sir Pat Hauer and Jackie Anderson.

I will always be thankful, and I will always help the needy in my own little way especially the hungry kids in Africa and the homeless people. This is only the way I can continually do in my existence. It is genuine testimony that I was not jobless, I was employed in FAITH.

Those days were days I started to employ myself to keep working on what I believe and wherever God will be taking me. Again, I realized I had never been jobless as I had so much job to sustain my faith and keep working on it until my last existence. PRAYER IS MY SWORD IN THE GREATEST BATTLE OF LIFE IN CANADA. GOD speed and be employed in CHRIST JESUS!

A JOBLESS WOMAN, BUT A FAITHFUL WALKER!
