Dear friends,
It has been more than 16 years since I got my very first job. I still recall how God led me and my wife (then my fiancee) during our hardship.
I was a foreign student holding a student visa. During my MBA studies, I sent out resumes to many different companies. They liked my background but rejected me when they knew that I was not a US resident or citizen. We constantly prayed to ask the Lord to open a door for me but he did not answer our prayers. I continued to send out resumes but did not receive any job offer mainly due to my status.
In the meantime, we were also engaged to get married but I needed a job. Day after day, the Lord still had not answered our prayers. From time to time, discouragement and disappointment came. However, we knew that we still had to hold onto the Word of God (Genesis 18:14, and John 16:24) no matter what happened. With God's strength, we kept praying and I kept submitting my resumes to other companies.
In March 1994 just one week before my student visa expired, God finally opened a door for me.
We have learned that everything is possible with God; nothing is too hard for Him.
Dicky
