It All Works Together For Your Good

Does it really? One may ask. Yes it does! Well, eventually, when all the missing pieces of the puzzle fit in together perfectly.  Recently, the organization I worked with underwent organization restructuring which led to the company downsizing and I was amongst the first lot that went home. When I was first issued with the letter of notice, I was in shock not that I had not seen it coming but the realization that it was real just paralyzed me. I went through a phase of mixed emotions, from denial all the way through to acceptance.

Surprisingly, it is worth noting that during that same period that the retrenchment came about was when I had dedicated myself mostly to constant praying which included praying for my career progression as I had felt stagnant. The answer to my prayer was a notice of retrenchment. I remember sharing that with a close friend and all we could do was laugh our lungs out. In the midst of confusion, all I could do was but laugh. There was always a great assurance and inner peace every time I turned to God for answers. The inner peace and assurance served me as an answer that God was working behind the scenes.

They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. One day out of the blue I received a call from a former colleague who had ventured into business and needed my services. I remember feeling very nervous and not confident enough because I was used to working with an organization under someone else’s authority. This time round I was called in as an independent service provider and not answering to any boss. Was I scared? Certainly! Did I manage to do the work solely? Certainly!

I am yet to see the product of the final picture once all the missing pieces of the puzzle fit in together. Do I believe that all is working together for my good? Certainly! Blessings do come disguised sometimes.
