Do I stay in my lane or stretch past the known? The job market’s changed, and I’m overthrown. I sit in silence, trying to see— How did this happen? How did it find me?

Then lift my head, my sword and my shield, I know He has a purpose for me in this field. Resumay, LinkedIn, interviews skills, a must But, if you don’t network, you’ll be left in the dust.

And now-I’ve landed, it seemed like forever, As I journeyed this job search land endeavor. My family and friends have stood by me, Helping me land, it’s not if but when, as you see. This isn’t the end, it's just a Do Over. I'm walking with God, with His Grace as my cover, I’ll sow His seeds—let His Love abide, And, help others like me, on this same ride.
