I spent several years feeling trapped in my job. The word was underemployed and nowhere to go. My attempts to find a new position seemed fruitless. I decided it would be more fruitful to shift my thinking from a worldly, limited view of employment to a more spiritual outlook.
So, I strove to make the most of the work I had. Also I prayed to God and listened for His guidance. Although the small company for which I worked did not appear to have opportunities for growth, opportunities did appear. I learned new skills. Then there was a moment when I was praying about this issue and a clear message came to thought. The message was: "this is the time for you to make a move. Put everything into it." It struck me how clear the message was and how close I felt to God. Also, I felt such a certainty that it would all work out. I was able to let go. The "putting everything into it" meant to me putting my complete trust in God.
Within two days, a very unexpected opportunity surfaced in a new field. I was not looking for it. I felt like it was looking for me. I have worked at this firm for over three years and am blessed every day with opportunities. I really felt God's love for me in this experience and I know in my heart that everyone is unique, precious to God and filled with holy purpose. It is this work that fulfills us.
