Patience = Provision

I’ve been pursuing a career of my dreams with Dave Ramsey. Helping others help themselves… that’s one of my passions in life. God directed me to leave my home and follow this dream, my perception was that the job would fall right in my lap. I realized after 4 weeks, God had other plans as I tried to push myself through the doors. That’s one of the great mysteries in Gods work, it rarely happens how you think. Reminding myself His way is always best, I gave up trying so hard and gave in to wholeheartedly pursuing God first.

Theres a statistic that reads “Hiring rate is 1% at Dave Ramsey; Harvard’s acceptance rate is 6.9%”. I suddenly felt so small in such a large sea of applicants. But I reminded myself, God is so much bigger than all of this… and He surely can handle a meager 1% statistic. About a month later, while sitting on my porch on a hot day in deep reflection, I got a call from Dave’s office, out of the blue. “We’d like to talk to you,” they said. Tears flowed down my face as the first and only thing on my mind was to get on my knees and thank God for the opportunity.
