I just got news that I’m being promoted. My first promotion in my first ever job. Bittersweet to think that this the kind of milestones I’m going for now—I didn’t realize how fast the years are going by. 5 years ago, I was lost, scrambling for my college tuition, just trying to graduate and hopefully find a job. Now, I’m at that job I didn’t take long to land, seeing my hardwork come to fruition and getting recognized for it. I’m eternally grateful for my boss for seeing whatever he saw in me when he hired me, when I had absolutely no experience under my belt, and took a chance on me anyway. Getting promoted by him also means the world to me. He has shown me nothing but kindness and support, and I feel so so blessed. I know I did all the work that earned me this promotion but I have to recognize the first person who saw that potential.
More than anything else, I want to thank God. I want to thank Him for heeding all my prayers wheneverI called and cried for Him. I give all glory and honor to Him, for all of His provisions, for the gifts that helped me get this job all those years ago, and for the strength to power through everything else that came after. Thank you, God. Always. I can’t ask for anything more than for more holistic strength and brainpower to keep going. I have goals but not one greater than my ambition to keep serving You.
I love you, Lord. Let’s keep going.
We all have our off days. Don’t allow the hate to bury you under for too long.
you have to be extremely intentional with the choices you make and the life you create for yourself - the people you cultivate relationships with, the things you spend time doing, the career you have, the habits you build - don’t just let things happen to you, take control of what you can and leave the rest to God
God, I refuse to live in worry when You’ve called me to live in peace. I’m handing You every anxious thought, because You do a better job running the universe than I do. In Jesus Name, amen.
you will feel so alive again.. like so incredibly alive. i dont know when that will be but it will be. u are gonna feel so alive that ur cheeks hurt from smiling oh man oh man i promise that day is coming. you do have a future, you do have good things coming, and you’ll survive everything that’s thrown at you until you reach that day
Thank you, Lord! I am so rich ✨
Having a clean home, a warm bed, and a sense of security is truly the biggest blessing. That is enough to be content especially in the world we live in today. We are rich is ways we don’t realize.
