From Waiting to Working: My Journey of Faith and Employment

Hello people of God. My name is Itunnu. I’ve been applying for jobs since Jan 1st, 2024. I’m a registered Nurse, so I have always been told that job search would not be difficult. Much to my surprise, that wasn’t my situation, although it was for some schoolmates. I felt left behind, like my value was questionable. To me, I did everything by the book, I studied hard and I passed all my exams exceedingly, so this job search delay felt like some kind of joke.

For months, I had prayed and fasted. I had built up my faith so much that I was so sure of my blessing coming through. But alas, months had been passing and nothing was forthcoming. March (my birth month) came around and I was really believing in God for a birthday blessing, but the devil had other plans. I had thought so much and pushed myself into worrying so much that I had fallen prey to a Migraine Attack. My mind was not at rest, my sleep was no longer sweet, my sight and hearing were affected for 3 weeks plus. The devil was really tormenting me, but I said to God, “If anything, I want to celebrate wholly.” God came through, I celebrated and had a blast on my birthday! Thank you Jesus.

Fast forward to the last week in April, I finally had my first interview ever. I left the interview knowing it was not the right place for me. May 2024 comes now and I receive an “we regret to inform you” email. Funnily enough, I danced after receiving it because I was happy that at last, I was receiving responses from places. I no longer felt like a ghost.

For my current job, YES, your girl is now employed as of today. I did the interview Mid-May, and when I tell you that the interview was not attended by me, but the Holy Spirit. All I could say after the interview was, “What just happened?” It felt so natural like a casual conversation between old pals.

I had hoped my testimony would come yesterday, June 3rd at 3:33 pm. But surprise-surprise, it didn’t. I felt a little bit disappointed but I still worshipped God. I decided to go on a walk with my motive being to meet the Holy Spirit as my comfort
