March Wish: Connecting People and Job Resources


The focus for this month is to encourage those who have been laid off and are looking for employment. My heart goes out to those who are going through this tough time; I have been there before and I know that many of you have too. God bless you for reading this blog and being willing to do something about the situation. I praise God for this vehicle!!! Let's spread some encouragement, inspiration, resources and information around to those looking for a job. Let them know that God is their source no matter what the situation looks like!

I have started another blog called BECOME LIGHT! The purpose of BECOME LIGHT! is to share encouraging stories that may inspire others to spiritually transform. I have posted some lessons learned during my time without a job. Please feel free to forward BECOME LIGHT! to anyone in need of encouragement who is battling this issue. Check it out at www.becomelight.blogspot.com.

MARCH REQUEST: Too many people are without work. We all know at least one personally. Let's help them!! A list of fifty top job search sites has been compiled and is displayed below. This list could be of great assistance to someone looking for employment.

THE NEED: Can you forward this blog/list to someone who may be in need of job resources? What can you do to encourage someone who may have lost their job? Can you send a card, email, or text message to someone who may need encouragement today? Is your company hiring? Can you refer someone? Can you inspire someone to step out on faith and start their own business? How can you support them in that endeavor? Do you have resources to share?? What creative idea do you have to inspire someone in need?

THE INSTRUCTIONS: Think of someone you would like to help. Help them TODAY in whatever way you can. If you need ideas or assistance, email me ASAP at
Dawn-Mitchell@sbcglobal.net. Send the network your stories of encouragement and upliftment to be featured on the blog.

THE REWARD: Your light could encourage someone to take just "one more step" towards making it through this rough time.
