Getting Your Dream Job!

Jennifer Dickenson always wanted to live in a big house in the country. She worked hard as a national account manager to achieve this goal and never thought her livelihood was in jeopardy.

“I never dreamed that I would find myself unemployed,” Jennifer says.

But that's exactly what happened when the business she worked for went bankrupt overnight.

“They said that we may not get our last paychecks, we most likely would not be reimbursed for any outstanding expenses, that the following Monday our insurance benefits would cease to exist,” she remembers.

Those things combined cost Jennifer close to $5,000. In addition, she lost her company car and her gas card, which meant large bills she’d never had before.

“I’m single, so there was no one to share the expenses with. The mortgage and the expense of having a home was all on me,” she says.

When her savings ran out, Jennifer put her house on the market. Month after month, she looked for work and for ways to cut costs. She had been a faithful CBN partner since 1998 and wasn’t sure if she could continue giving.

“I was tempted to decrease my giving or maybe stop giving all together for awhile,” she recalls. “But I just settled it early that it was not a choice for me; that God had been faithful to me."

She said that she knew there was no way that her continued giving to Him, the needs of other people through Operation Blessing, Orphan's Promise, and CBN would result in anything other than the Lord making a way for her.

Jennifer was at church one Sunday when someone gave her an idea.

“One of the elders suggested that I be very specific in my petition to God about the type of job I wanted, the position I wanted, and all the details,” she says.

Jennifer made her list and didn’t hold back! She contacted The 700 Club and asked CBN to agree with her in prayer. Then, while she was watching a special 700 Club webcast dedicated to overcoming financial difficulty, she got a call.

“It was the company that I had written down on the paper,” she says. “That was only a week later. They said they had my resume and that I was one of the candidates that they wanted to interview.”

Two months later, Jennifer got the job!

“I got everything that I wrote on that list: the position, the salary, the company car,” she states.

Jennifer didn’t have to sell her house after all.

“It was one of the most exciting parts of getting my job—to pick up the phone and call the realtor and say, 'I’m taking my house off of the market,' "she remembers.

And what about all the savings that she lost?

“I just recently got my tax returns and I was able to put that into savings,” she says. “So, I’m saving again; and I am getting back on track and God is restoring me. I think it’s a miracle!”

Now Jennifer encourages others who are going through tough economic times.

“When we are in times of need, that could possibly be the best time to give to others and to just release and let God have everything,” Jennifer says. “Give the principal of reciprocity an opportunity to work. He did it for me, and I know that he will do it for you.”
