So about a year and a half ago I wrote a blog post with this title. In said blog post, I mentioned that two huge blessings had come thru in life, but one of them I couldn’t really go into in the blog. I suspect at the time that some people maybe thought that Nolz and I had got engaged or married on the hush haha but it wasn’t that!
What it was, was my job at Franklin Institute. In fact, in my blog I couldn’t talk about the process of getting my job, nor reveal how amazing it was that in the same day, I had two job offers, both willing to employ me and sort me out with a work visa. Which was really amazing and such provision from God. At the end of the year (December 2019), Nolz and I had been despairing because it seemed like I would never find my own place at a price I could afford, nor a job that would give me a work visa. And then in the same day I had two offers! Haha. I had already accepted the first when the second offer had come, and I don’t regret it. The second job offer place had asked me to do the interview in Spanish, which I found all a bit weird as the job role was to be an English teacher. So why would they get me to do the interview in Spanish? It was especially hard as I really didn’t speak all that much Spanish at the time.
But anyways, I accepted the job at Franklin and I was there, in person, for a week (I did about 4 classes), before the first case of COVID hit Salta and everything closed down. The timing of all that is just so incredible. Imagine if I hadn’t got that job offer in time? I don’t know quite where I’d be right now!
Like everyone else, I had to get used to zoom classes, working out the best way to do things, endless marking, and, as I’m sure for most people, it was a hard year. And weird, to be working somewhere and know virtually none of my colleagues!
And now this year, things have improved again. As I mentioned before, I got a promotion, which has obviously helped with my finances. My work visa has finally come through and I’m substantially less stressed about work this year than I was last year. Which is a good thing too, since trying to plan a wedding during the uncertainties of COVID is enough to be dealing with!
So whilst things have been far from easy, I can really see God’s guiding hand through everything. I’m reminded of that verse in Romans 8:28 which says: and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him. And my prayer and trust is that God will keep making the way ahead for me and for Noly, as only he can.
