So August of last year, I had to leave a well-paying job due to my boss's narcissism and my own decaying mental/physical health (the stress was causing my body's systems to screw up. it was that bad.). I learned the very valuable lesson that you can't help someone heal if they don't want it/don't believe they have a problem. From that point until January, I've been taking a break from employment. In January, however, I realized I needed to not be broke (plus my ipad broke and a new setup is $700 ToT). While I have a good amount of savings, I didn't want to use my savings on food/new devices, but rather on large expenses like future dorm payments and Christmas shopping, which, by the way, adds up and is secretly why I keep my friend count so low /jjjj Anyways, I went on a whole adventure to get a new job. I put in a bunch of applications, asked people i n p e r s o n which was scary, and I even got an interview, which I low key kinda bombed (the company kinda not cool though so I'm glad) After countless ghostings and rejections, I did the only thing I could and went to Jesus. Lately, God's been giving me content scripts and video ideas, but again, my ipad's broke so I said "God, I'm deadbeat broke. if you want me to do this, then I'm gonna need new equipment. Can I have a job?" That Sunday. My father approaches my siblings and I and says "our friend has a massive landscaping project to get done. he pays good money. wanna do it?" I say "yes father" and I look up at God and say "YES FATHER" I kept searching for jobs upon my father's request, but the rejections kept coming. Thankfully, Colorado has been snowless and warm (California type weather) ALL WINTER LONG so we started the project this morning and I'll be working long hours outside, in sunny weather, often alone, for the next few months. Now this might seem like "ew, work" but I know plants and how to deal with yard issues so I find it quite fun. Plus, I've been at home bored for nearly 6 months. You'd be surprised how often you OCD spiral when left completely alone to your thoughts. Yard work is so enjoyable, and I've been doing complex stuff for years so I was so prepared. Anyways, moral of the story: God provides what you need to do the work he's called you to do, and he gives great gifts. I personally would much rather work in beautiful weather, free as a bird than have to deal with office drama, being stuck inside all day, and having to put in a month's notice for every off day I need. Oh man I am so thankful for this job and I just had to share. I love my God so much.
