NOT LONG AGO LATISHA WAS ON
UNEMPLOYMENT AND SHE MADE A
DECISION AND HER FUN WAS RINGING
WITH JOBS.
SHE LOVES RAISING HER
FIVE-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.
A FEW YEARS AGO, SHE WAS
RECENTLY DIVORCED, LOST HER JOB
AND CARING FOR HER BABY.
NOT HAPPY WITH MYSELF AT THE
TIME.
VERY UNSURE.
IN THE BACK OF MY MIND I KNEW
GOD WOULD PROVIDE.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW.
I WAS LOOKING AT MY MESS SAYING
HOW CAN YOU HELP US HERE AND
NOW?
THIS IS TOO MUCH.
THIS IS TOO MUCH.
AS SHE SCRAPED BY ON HER
SAVINGS AND UNEMPLOYMENT CHECKS,
THE BILLS BECAME UNBEARABLE.
FOOD WAS SCARCE IN THE HOUSE
SOMETIMES.
WE BECAME BEST FRIENDS WITH THE
PEANUT AND BUTTER SANDWICH.
SHE TITHED FAITHFULLY TO HER
CHURCH, SOMETHING SHE STARTED
MONTHS AGO.
WHY WOULD I STOP NOW, WHETHER
I AM GOING TO TITHE FROM MY
WAGES OR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
OR A RANDOM CHECK IN THE MAIL.
I AM GOING TO GIVE GOD WHAT I
SAID I WOULD GIVE HIM.
IT CAME FROM SOMETHING SHE
LEARNED AT CHURCH.
THEY TAUGHT A BASIC PRINCIPLE
ABOUT SOWING.
GOD IS LOOKING FOR YOUR
OBEDIEN
OBEDIENCE.
SHORTLY AFTER HER PHONE BEGAN
TO RING.
EVERY TIME IT WAS A DIFFERENT
EMPLOYER LOOKING FOR AN
INTERVIEW.
SOON SHE WAS READY FOR THE
NEXT STEP, SHE INCREASED HER
GIVING.
ONE DAY HER SUPERVISOR CAME TO
HER.
SHE HANDS ME A FOLDED UP
SHEET OF PAPER WITH A JOB
POSITION.
I THOUGHT IT WAS ODD MY CURRENT
SUPERVISOR WAS SHOWING ME
ANOTHER JOB.
SHE SAID I BELIEVE YOU HAVE
ABUNDANT POTENTIAL.
SHE APPLIED FOR THE JOB,
THREE WEEKS LATER...
I WAS DRIVING TO MY
DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL WHEN I
RECEIVED THE PHONE CALL.
IT IS THE HR DIRECTOR FROM THE
DREAM JOB.
HE SAID I DON'T WANT TO TAKE
MUCH MORE OF YOUR TIME.
CAN YOU START THIS POSITION IN
TWO WEEKS.
I HAD TO PULL OVER.
[LAUGHTER].
I WAS ON THE PHONE AND HE IS
LIKE ARE YOU THERE?
I AM LIKE YES, CAN YOU GIVE ME A
MINUTE, PLEASE, I PUT THE PHONE
ON MUTE AND SHOUTED HALLELUJAH.
I WAS SO HAPPY.
WITH A NEW JOB, HER SALARY
DOUBLED.
TODAY SHE CONTINUES TO GIVE MORE
AND CREDITS ALL HER SUCCESS TO
GOD'S FAITHFULNESS.
I HAD TO DO THIS.
I DIDN'T HAVE ANY OTHER
RESOURCE.
THIS IS QUOTED, LUKE 6:38, GIVE
AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU,
IN GOOD MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN,
SHAKEN TOGETHER AND RUNNING OVER
WITH THE SAME MEASURE YOU MEET
SHALL BE MEASURED BACK TO YOU.
GOD HAS BEEN SO FAITHFUL.
I MEAN REALLY, I COULD HAVE BEEN
ANYWHERE ELSE.
IT COULD HAVE GONE ANOTHER WAY,
GOD IS SO FAITHFUL.
