How could I find a job?
My name is L. I have been in Canada for more than three years and was baptized this past May. At that time, I was studying to be a civil engineer in college and I wanted to be a construction estimator. I believed that God would prepare a suitable job for me, because I trusted God and that He loved me.
After that time, I experienced a challenge in my faith.
This past April, when I finished my courses and began my Co-op, I started looking for a job. I thought it would be better to find a job before July 13 because I would not have income after that. It was my mistake to set up a deadline with God. I said to God: I trust you my Load, so give me a good job before July 13. You have three and half months to prepare a job for me. 
The next week I got my first interview, and almost a success, very close. But at last, they were concerned about my speaking. They said: Sorry about this. We don』t doubt your skills, but you need to communicate with other people when you work. I thank God for having given me that opportunity, to let me know my weakness. So I tried my best to improve my English.
After that time for three months, almost every week I got interview. Each time I felt that I improved from the last. There was even one time, a manager said sorry to me but he also introduced me to another company. I felt closer and closer to success each time. But I always failed. Most of them were concerned with my English skills. I began to wonder if God had prepared a job for me. What time and where? Or had God wanted me to do another job? 
During that time, when I was in Bible Studies, all my brothers and sisters in Christ prayed for my job situation. My family was also involved. My wife began to read the Bible. We began to pray together with my daughter. 
Up until early July, I did get a job. One of my friends, who worked at Pizza Pizza, told me that I could work there first, and continue to look for another job, because I have to put food on the table to support my family. I thought, 「Maybe it will take a long time to get a professional job, because it is not easy to improve my English.」 I said yes. And then I started to look for a delivery job in Pizza Pizza. I printed and read the menu. I tried to remember all names of the Pizzas and toppings. I practiced the restaurant English. I went to Pizza Pizza shops and left my name and phone number to the manager. Soon I got a chance. One owner gave me training and told me that he would call me the following weeks.
After July 13, the deadline I set up to God. The owner of Pizza Pizza did not call me. I still had no job. On July 17, after finishing a Bible Study, sisters and brothers prayed for my job situation. They said you have to trust God, his answer may be yes, may be no, may be wait. When I came home, my daughter and my wife prayed for me too. The next day, I had some time, so I tried to call some companies. I found out one company』s manager actually didn』t refuse me after my interview and I called back to ask him what had happened.
I called him and said, 「Hi, I am L, do you remember me?」
He said: 「Yes, I remember you. I am sorry. I was quite busy those days so I didn』t call you back. Could you come this Friday? My boss will see you.」
「Of course,」 I said, 「I am waiting for this.」 
To my surprise, God gave me the job. The company is a family business company owned and operated for 40 years. They are so nice. My manager introduced his family to me. He has 3 kids. One was just born in 4 weeks ago. It is why he is so busy. They weren』t concerned with my accent and were willing to teach me. My boss was not only teaching my job skill, but also teaching me how to make coffee. Last Thursday, the boss taught me how to make Cappuccino, and told me: Enjoy your work. You can make Cappuccino any time if you like.
God just let me waiting for a more week and teach me how to trust Him. Thank you my heaven father. I know what you give to me is suitable to me, it is better than I hoped. Although sometimes I doubt, you still love me so much.
Through this I learned the verse from Bible in James 4:2,3: You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, …
