I have told everybody as of the past few months of how thankful I am of having a job. Well currently I was hired on full-time by the credit union, although I am very happy with that fact my actual attitude showed very little thanks. In my own mind i was relying on my own strengths that God has blessed myself with; I have been blessed in having a very adaptable personality, God has given me an ability to be able to interact very well with people along with an ability to understand and learn any task trusted upon myself. But even with what God has blessed myself with, I began to rely on my own abilities and put less reliance on God.
Over the past week I delved in on myself and asked God for forgiveness, and I thanked him for what he has granted me: in my job, my health, my family's support, and all the prayers and support of the church.
Just today I recieved a phone call from my HR. She tells me that she has good news and also more responsibilities for me! I found out today that although I was hired on for full-time with full benefits, I was only on a tentative tenure because I was originally hired on to only be temporary. Coming on as a temporary to hire they had only considered to keep me temporarily, but my work ethics had showed to management that I am an asset worth keeping, even though they had no position for me to fill. So my job was on the edge until today's news. Our card services manager put in her 2 weeks, in which I had no idea my name was put in to fill her position. But furthermore, I was not just slotted for the position I am now to be trained in the next two weeks to fill her position temporarily. I was told that this position saved me from the cusp of losing a job due to lack of necessity.
I have learned through life not to take God forgranted, but human nature is so weak that we tend to receive and forget so quickly how much he has blessed us with. But God's love is unending and I do thank him for loving us even with our faults.
Thanks to those who do read this and do try and understand my flaws!

Congrats Tam, really encouraged reading what God is doing in your life. And regarding that attitude of thankfulness, my pastor recommends making a list every day of 20 things you are grateful to God for. Every. Day. At first, it's somewhat repetitive, but as you go along, you'll notice things you did not notice before and you'll discover things that you normally would not be thankful for - are blessings in disguise.
Thankfulness is a transforming characteristic. All the best in you're new position!
Congrats! hehe looky looky! I commented!
