Blessings are NEVER a Mistake-Tiffany's Testimony

by Tiffany H
(columbus,OH USA)

I want to testify about God's grace and blessing on me. Last year around this very time God blessed me with a new job. I prayed and prayed about the job and wanted it more than anything. I thought 'This is my chance to be great! This is my chance to show everyone my "skillz".'

And I did...for a while.

I promised God that I would testify and let everyone know His greatness and the position He blessed me with. Well I never got that chance to testify because the churches we go to don't really testify anymore.

Anyhow fast forward to now. I feel blessed to have a job that pays enough for me to be comfortable, have a home, and pay my bills. However, as you might be able to tell, now I can't stand my job.

I have been lied to, mislead, and given more false promises than I can count. I am not very happy in my job now and am currently praying for another.

I don't think that the job I have was not meant for me, but I do believe now it was intended to be a lesson from God, maybe even a test. But, now I know its time to move on.

I have a degree in teaching and mathematics, but I have let some road blocks stand in my way of being in the classroom. I think this job and experience is God's way of letting me know this is NOT where He wants me to be. So I'm going to pursue getting my teaching license and stop letting the devil influence my thinking and behavior.

I want to let the world know something very important. When you go to God for something you want so bad, you get it, and then you don't want it after a while, don't feel like it was a mistake. With God's blessing there are no mistakes!

God is just trying to tell you something, so open your heart and your ears and listen.

May God bless you and keep you!
