Blessing in Disguise

[14dst01]

I have so many blessings, this thread isn't long enough but I'll keep it short (ya'll know I get long winded).

I went to a NABJ convention in Seattle back in '99. I just graduated from college and was looking for a job. At the airport I met a woman (a Delta) who was living and working in one of the states I was interviewing with. Needless to say, she gave me her card and told me if I got the job at the company to give her a call. After a few interviews, I did land the job and headed East leaving my friends and family back in the Midwest. But before I moved out there, I wasn't having any luck finding an apartment. I called the woman I met at the airport and she gave me the name of a retired couple that lets young people live with them (for a small fee). When I moved there, I found out after the lady opened her door that she was a member of the sorority I longed to be a member of, even after getting rejected twice in college (Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.) So one by one I was introduced to women in her chapter and eventually got to know them.

This was very helpful for me because I was moving to a new state where I had no friends or family. After living with the couple for a few months I moved out but kept in touch with them and they have been like family to me. At one point I wasn't sure if I would get a job, then I got the job and wasn't sure if I would have a place to live, then I found a place to live along with a loving and caring family that helped me with my transition and then after all of that, I was inducted into the greatest sorority ever......................DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY, INC!!!!!!!!! Those 2 women were excellent examples of how sisterhood is suppose to be. They opened their hearts, homes and sorority to a complete stranger. God truly works things out for you if you just let Him enter your heart.

That's my testimony!!! Take care and God Bless.
