The hiring manager asked me: “What was your personal career defining moment?” and I blanked
Years ago, stepping into my career practices as a student of marketing and esthetics in university (currently on work sabbatical pending 20 more credits left to my major works), a hiring manager asked me about a defining moment i experienced before I ever thought about it candidly; and its not that I really wasn’t prepared to answer, in so much as I hadn’t thought to formulate the words.
To be frank, I’m not looking to formulate the words.
Be vigilant and sober minded, brothers and sisters! It’s a very selfish, self focused endeavor working toward definition of self in life; all is revealed through prayer. Each individual has already been created with the glory of God in mind, and “Who we are” and “what we do” is sustained, though not as revealing as, through whom we each pray.
God leads us on the right path through prayer. That’s Bible.
I’m very secure waiting to see what God is doing through my work.
The book of Isaiah chapter 5 was my reading for today!
In summary, the outstanding verse indicated that people try to see what God is up to all the time. They try to take it from you prematurely with your words and even in walking along with you before it’s time to reap the benefits in order to take you off path and even ruin it. Clearly, I’m not the only one who’s noticed this! The Bible says the Lord doesnt know the ways of evil and we’re not meant to seek it. We will be condemned by the world and experience evils without cause, but honey, through prayer God is informed. in the world, to die is Christ and to live is gain — but in the name of Jesus, life is eternal! God’s plan is greater than the world and I believe there’s a reason we have been blessed to share the Word of Life while being amongst the happenings of these times on Earth.

Now, do i think the person was trying to steal something from me? it’s not impossible or unlikely based on reflection. I can think of other more direct personal testimonials to that potential. However, i think she was more curious to know how i decided i was going to be applying for a job at her establishment as the proclaimed professional in a chosen field.
This is why God doesn’t even make His plans fully known to us who follow Christ let alone others ; not because He doesn’t trust us, but because He knows our little human selves can’t contain the excitement and is protecting our futures.
And just to bring into perspective the extent of God’s care for me and all His children, if my mom did or didn’t make or seek to make any protections and provisions for my future, fathom God’s protections and provisions.
I also think God chuckled at that moment during the interview because essentially she was asking what the bigger picture was, and I was pretty much like “let me work here and you’ll see” and God was like “haha no, let her stay that way, I have better plans than this popsicle stand — by comparison and… i’ll let you know if she gets to see. matter of fact. forget about who she is, just remember the experience.” with that question, she also meant she wasn’t going to let me discuss my defining moment through getting to know her through the employment opportunity and may even try to create her own narrative. I forgive her for being cold.
There’s no rush because it’s my life given to me by God and im very excited.
So reader, all this to share God’s message being revealed to me today — no matter what the world has for you, stay the righteous course and seek and speak God in your life.
obey God.
