Good morning. Good afternoon and good evening everybody. It's your girl Sonya McQueen with your mind your body your choice
So you guys it's been an awesome last couple of days. There's so much to share
Not really enough time. So maybe I'll share it tomorrow. This is just the teaser
But just to show you how God really really works
What you want me to share it now? Okay, no problem. So
You know, I I've told you in previous podcasts that I worked for the Department of Health for
X amount of years and
This gentleman asked me to come on and help him in his business out
And it was during COVID and I was at home even though I was still working for the Department of Health
I wasn't doing anything
So I went ahead and resigned from the Department of Health and went and worked for this gentleman and
and worked for him for a few years until he his business went under and
That's when I reprised my business led by motivation
But you know when you're starting a business if you're trying to do it right and it's for the right reasons you don't
Well, I could have but I tried not to throw everything in the wind
I still wanted a job so I could have
Healthcare if you live in the United States, you know, healthcare is extremely expensive
and if you don't have it you're screwed and so
Believe it or not
I even put on the healthcare application that my husband only made
$40,000 and of course I made zero and it was still almost
$800 a month for the both of us to have healthcare. So I took him out and it was still the same for just me
So I digress anyway
I
Was looking for a job and I took one which I expressed to you guys before and I got by
For excuse me, I'm exaggerating. I got four job offers
I took the one that paid the least because he was a friend of the family and quit the second day
It was that bad friend or no friend hasn't spoken to me since no no big deal
then I was looking for jobs and I got a couple more
Responses and people who used to work for this company were like girl don't take that job
Do not take it's full of demons. It's full
They they pull you in with their gregarious
personalities and they're very personable and and
Inchorismatic but once you're in there
their real
selves come out the horns pop up and
the
devilish ways and sure enough
Week three that happened so I left so anyway, I
Then decided, you know what Lord? I pray I said I'm gonna keep looking for a job because I really need insurance
It's not about the money. It's about the insurance. I don't need to make six figures. I don't
But I need the insurance. So nobody was calling me back
Nobody so then finally I got an interview with a company in
Management and the lady who interviewed me loved me
So she set up a second interview with the CEO who I would directly report to him. He didn't show up
So I reached out to her I was like hey the CEO didn't show up and she was like are you serious?
Let me call him then she hit me up and said he's not even answering me
I greatly apologize give me till tomorrow to
Get back with you. She never got back with me. All right
That same day I had an interview with somebody it went extremely well
She set up an interview with her CEO who I would report directly to he didn't show up
And I thought well, this is crazy
So let's fast forward
Recently I had an interview with the company and
It went very well and she said, you know, we'll go over everybody's
Responses and if you're selected you'll have a second interview with management. So sure enough. I got an email
Congratulations
We'd like to set up a second interview with you. No problem. I go to the second interview
It's awesome too and then I get a congratulations. You're you're a finalist this third interview
Will determine who we're going to select I have the third interview it goes fabulously
So at the end I asked will you notify everybody?
Regardless of that they got the position or not. I'm told yeah, we're gonna notify everybody
Just give us a couple of days that was on a Tuesday
It was actually last Tuesday
Haven't heard back from that company. I email the young lady that I first interviewed with and she said
Great to hear from you Sonia. I'll get back with you
When they're ready to make a determination and
I
Waited because they said it would just be a couple of days. So that would have been Thursday and I waited Friday
I went out of town actually it's been two weeks. So that next Tuesday, which was a whole week later
I just sent another email. Hi, you know, blah blah blah. Just wondering if you've made a determination
Absolutely no response and it's been a week. I
Said all that to say you guys when you pray for something you got to trust God's listening and he's already working
I prayed to God. I prayed
Before I even started interviewing again, if this is not the direction you want me to go in I need you to block
Look access to me. I want you to
Stop any job I might step into that is not of your will
And if it is meant for led by motivation to thrive and that's what my concentration needs to be on fully
I need you to promote it and
And I cannot express to you guys what happened the last few days you talk about promotion
you talk about
Great blessings on the horizon and I can't even be mad that a CEO
Then a CEO then the third interview that goes nowhere goes
Unresponsive I can't because I prayed for something and I got to believe that this is nothing but God in the mist, right?
So don't make your prayers empty you guys. I totally turned this whole
podcast around because I promise this is not what was on my heart to speak about
But listen do not pray in vain
Don't pray to God and ask for something and go do what you want
To do and expect him to fix it
Don't expect that but if you go about it your own way and you feel like it's not God's way just
Apologize pray, you know God. I know I'm hard headed
I went left when you were telling me to go right because I really wanted to go left and even though I prayed for your direction
I still wanted to implement my own way
He'll fix it again for you
I'm a two-time
Loser in that in just this scenario. So just think about my entire life
I'm a million time loser, but he keeps correcting me and he keeps putting me on the right path and he keeps putting the right people in front of me
And the right references and he's like this is the way to go
Yeah, sometimes I know I'm not the right person
And the right references and he's like this is the way to go. Yeah, sometimes I do a U-turn and I go Sonia's way
But in the end I always do another U-turn and go back on the path he has me going on
Look at that. No response. No response. I chose the job I wanted to choose in the beginning
Not the job that I think I should have taken even that job. Okay
There was this awesome job they were offering me they wanted me to be the director of multiple facilities
My car is a lease and these facilities were pretty far apart and away from me
And the traffic driving in Miami if you've ever been to Miami it would have been an hour and a half both ways every day
So I would have had to leave the house at 6 30 a.m. And I would have been home about 7 38 o'clock p.m. Every single day
And you know me and my husband are empty nesters that takes away a lot of time from us and all I'm doing is getting up to go to work
I would have had to get up way earlier than that to exercise shower get ready get to work
So I would have been up at about 4 o'clock every morning and then going to bed about 10 o'clock every night
So there's no time for him in there, you know during the week
So I chose not to take that job even though it was the most interesting for me
I turned it down but when I took that other job that only lasted a day and a day and quit the second day
I called them and they were like well thank God you called we have another position closer to you and I was like look at God
But during the second interview they went another direction
And then they contacted me they had another job and I was like are you serious it's right down the street from my house 10 minute drive
And I was like look at God but I didn't even make it to the second round that time and I thought this is crazy
I was their selection with a huge job director of multiple facilities this is just a manager's position
It's just one facility and it's right there but you know what?
I didn't get the job and it was after I had prayed God your will be done not mine
So I'm fully concentrating on lead by motivation fully fully concentrating on what I'm doing to help the homeless
To help the mothers who've lost so much in just trying to protect their kids to get people off the streets in the good jobs
On top of help businesses that might be failing but they're trying to help the community as well with their policies procedures their guidelines their contracts whatever
On top of the motivation of speaking I am in my opinion trying to do the best God's work I can do in my capacity
With wonderful people by my side not behind me but right by my side
When you pray for something and the things you want don't go the way you think they should remember that prayer
Remember what you asked God to do in your life and relax relax
Even with the insurance I haven't been to see a doctor but my health is incredible incredible
I was on hypertension medicine and I had a scare I was in the hospital for a week and they took me off that medicine
And when I left they said you don't need that medicine we didn't give it to you not one day and your blood pressure was regulated
And that was in February March April May I've only taken that pill one time one time
So why do I need to go well I think everybody should have an annual checkup so I will get a doctor and that's going to work out for me too
I'm afraid about it today that our health insurance is taking care of and once that's taken care of I am good to go
You guys I can't say it again yes I can
Do not pray for something and then be upset when your will isn't met because it's not your will you're praying to a higher power for his will to be done
And it might not look the way you think it should look for me the way I thought it should look was me getting a job and still being able to do that by motivation on the side
But I know me the last three jobs I've had I take one position and end up doing seven and I do it openly because I feel like all hands on deck is a real thing
You take a job and you're going to do everything you can to ensure that that company succeeds
It's time for me to sell that into my own business my own company and there will be out of the 2000 people I know only 100 will support and I'm cool with that because that's a grain of salt in the world
People who don't know you are generally the people who support you right
And the people who will support me are listening to this podcast and they listen to it daily or weekly or however and often I post it and that's okay
Because God's vision is way bigger than mine and the people he knows and that know him are grander than the people I know and the people I know that know him
It's just the drop in the bucket so you guys believing yourself but more than that believing God and believed that when you go and you nail and you pray in sincerity he hears you
He hears you and he delivers for his shoes
Take care have a beautiful day and whatever I was going to talk about today you'll hear it tomorrow
