Once a blessing, not forever a blessing

Sometimes, we are blessed, but because it was a blessing, we think it will always be a blessing.

If you have read some of my blogs, you might know of my struggle to find a life science job. For those reading for the first time, this is a summary: I finished my studies in April 2018, but I got a job in pathology in August 2022. I couldn't find a job as a molecular biologist, but God was so good in creating a scenario to get me a job in pathology.

Pathology is all right, but I can see myself working there for a very long. I'm thankful even though it doesn't seem like that because of my complaints and dislike of that job. I had this struggle that I needed to stay there because it was a blessing from God, even though it's not feeling like that anymore. But God gives us the answers we are searching for in mysterious ways.

There is this woman at church who, when I was struggling, was sent from God to give me uplifting words of faith and answers to my questions. It was not like I asked her any questions; it was just a flow of conversation with all the answers I needed. In our last conversation, she told me that once a blessing, it is not forever a blessing. At that moment, I could let go of the thought that I needed to stay at my job just because it was a blessing. It makes me realize that blessing comes in seasons, and when it is over, it starts to feel like a burden.

I believe that the Lord wants the best for us, and not because there is any struggle, which means we must run away from them. Because sometimes the Lord uses our battle to make us a better version of ourselves. What does the Lord expect of you in the season of your life you are in?

Be blessed, and stay blessed!
