When I left home in mid August to come to North Greenville I was determined to get a job and provide for myself to some extent. I have relied on others to support me all of my life and I was ready for some personal responsibility. Freshmen weekend I heard of an opportunity to work in the cafeteria on campus. This sounded perfect. The best part was saving gas by walking to work instead of having to drive all the way into town. So I applied.
A few days later I placed my application at two Chick-fil-a fast food places in the Greenville area. Classes started and days turned to weeks and weeks into a month. I hadn’t received word from anywhere and was getting busier with classes. I began to lose hope and worry about where my money was going to come from and how I was going to support myself without a job.
I decided to take the advice I would give someone else in the same situation. I gave it to God. “Be anxious for nothing but in everything though prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6. I know looked at my “job problem” as His lack of a job and that I would follow Him wherever he leaded.
This past Monday I received a phone call from the dining services department at NGU and now I am an employee working in the cafeteria. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!
