Motivation: Delayed does NOT mean Denied

[@dr.dermixgirlmd7479]

After 4 rounds of interviews with a Forbes 25 biotech company, flown out to headquarters to meet corporate and present to a panel. Getting a verbal job offer on the spot with a start date. Telling all my family and friends, hiring a nanny, leaving my current job- HR calls and tells me that they are going in another direction. Now I’m left with no job asking “WHY?”. It’s a week later now and I am still in shock. No more. I’m moving on... Girl, this video is 8 years old but it is right on time.

[@Sassysunset]

Dr Dermix Girl Wow, I swear these Companies do not care! I hope your situation has improved!!

[@lifewithshawnda]

Aww thank you so much for checking out this video. I can't tell you how many I've been delayed but not denied. God does things in his own time. Life is about seasons.

[@lifewithshawnda]

We all get down sometimes. Even Christians like us. I'm glad you're feeling better. Be blessed.

[@brianacoleman9461]

I asked "why is this happening!" To God and the words "be still and know that I am God" came to my mind:)

[@Purplereignevents]

You are really a blessing. You should really become a motivational speaker for women. Get branded and go for it.

[@lifewithshawnda]

Thank you. I am a motivational speaker. Looks like I made the right choice. :)

[@Purplereignevents]

Do you have a website? I would love to promote you. Check Audria Richimond. She is a branding specialist. You advice is very valuable. I watched 10 clips last night. I hope to see more of you at Essence festivals, church functions and more. God Bless you and your family.

[@yh2059376]

+BronzeGoddess01 you really are special, I wish I had found you before. But the higher power led me to you. I watched like 19 videos yesterday. Keep them coming 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@MsAminata58]

"Stop asking the questions, don't be consumed with why, just move on to 'what's next." Girl, I had my pity party and this word has pushed me to LIVE beyond the hurt and disappointment of he and I not working out. Never let anyone underestimate your value...that's the truth!! So, I work on me and wait. Delayed does not mean denied...

[@AFRICANEXPORT]

THIS IS A WONDERFULLY INSPIRATIONAL STORY. GLORY TO GOD! ~KEEP IT REAL

[@Ms76Cocoa]

Still watching your motivational videos all these years later. I saved the playlist. May God continue to bless you!

[@nnekaisblessed]

I meant "lost loves". Thank you for your encouraging words and your biblical teachings. It is refreshing and greatly appreciated.

[@mrsexehall]

You Are So Uplifting.... Even when I didn't realize I needed it I also need to pass on your message to my dearest friend. Please keep finding the time to inspire us & To encourage us.... Through Christ. I appreciate your time sooooo much. I thank You.

[@yh2059376]

I'm unemployed right now and just got a letter from a state job interview that was due 2 days before my uncle decided to finally check the mail. I had to do EFT taping to release the anger and feeling of helplessness and remember that MY DREAM JOB IS STILL COMING. You have no idea how much your video helped me. 😊

[@eabutterfly]

Ohh honey, this video is so ME. Until now i felt this way and I was praying and thinking that God just didn't want me to be successful in my dream. It went on for about a yeaer where I was bouncing around in jobs and couldn't finish school but this week, I started a great job and am finishing my degree! God does things in His own perfect time. And I will NOT be denied! :-D

[@bakers.a.m-chaoticcalm4343]

Wow. There's no way for you to know the happenings of the past couple of weeks but this video, especially near the end , it's like you read my diary... thoroughly.... and was like let me just tell her this. I'm floored and hope I can listen as well as apply. 6 years later and still touching lives and hearts. You are something special.

[@skayd3308]

Love love love your messages! Not right now and not RIGHT FOR YOU! Realizing that God reserves the best for those who trust and obey.

[@jescika1]

You are so inspiring. Even as a devout Christian sometimes I get down and I dont feel "saved"...I dont feel loved. And this week is one of those times where I was extremely down. And this video blessed me exceedingly and abundantly. You have reminded me why I walk by faith and not sight. Thank you for blessing me with this encouraging word.

[@jamellia]

Amen!! It aint over to God say its done!!! Lord help us to stand on your word. Amen!

[@lamonica755]

God is so good!!! He will bless you beyond our wildest dreams or imaginations!!

[@lifewithshawnda]

@pinkpornstar1 Thanks girl. I had to make this video because I don't think people should give up on their dreams. So what if it didn't happen yet, that doesn't mean it never will.

[@MajorMovieStar]

It wasn't a blessing, diva. It was a temptation. But, God swooped in and caught you before you fell. God bless you both! I am encouraged by this!

[@cocoakeke]

Praise God for your ministry here on YT, keep being obedient to the Spirit. You are speaking and sharing EXACTLY what you should.

[@keptinperfectpeace]

This ministered to my spirit. Thank you for sharing this. We all have to learn (or remind ourselves) to look at things not with our natural eyes, but our spiritual eyes. Sometimes things look like no... but God will say YES! Thank you, and congrats to your husband!

[@PrincessZ783]

This was very encouraging, thank you for sharing!!!! God does have the last say, and for that I am happy!

[@lifewithshawnda]

You are so welcome. I'm so glad my video helped.

[@MittBritt20]

This video was for me! Thank you for ministering to us once again. Your testimony videos alway deliver a powerful message. He is using you! Please continue to share!

[@nadineagyei7024]

girl you are simply a blessing to me! may God increase your anointing and give you more insight. stay blessed.

[@locandbeautiful]

Praise God. Thank you. I know God works all things for our good, according to HIS purposes. Praying your hubby grows in his new position, and you continue to bless us w/ these vids. I'm sharing this video w/ my boyfriend. :) God bless you in droves.

[@coachkandaka]

Praise that you are a woman of wisdom and discernment!!! It is so important to have God within your union because the things of this world will try to consume your marriage if you don't submit to God's will. What the devil meant for evil God turned it around to work out for your good!! I am blessing God with you because as we rejoice with you the blessings fall upon us as well! God bless you sis. My you and your husband have a beautiful and blessed journey!

[@Gottaletemknow]

This is crazy. I needed to hear this in my life. No lie, I was not feeling the best about myself. Plus I've had several things that have happen to me this year that litterally broke my spirit. However you just reminded me that God is still on the thrown and that I will be prosperious. Thank you for reminding me of that.

[@didocomeback]

Thanks, Bronzed Goddess. I love the Volcano analogy. I have always relied on people to lift up my spirits and whatever you said made me realize, I'm more than enough to rely on.

[@rejuvenatednatural]

Everytime I watch one of your videos I just feel so good. I've been going around saying I'm sad all week long and then when you sad Happiness is a choice in your last video, it just made so much sense to me...I've been working on blocking out all that negativity in my life and I just want to thank you for you inspirational words. Your are a God sent seriously THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[@kyokitty16]

i've been following you for awhile now and i recently been going through a lot with school, delayed graduation, not able to travel, and just a lot but i've just been praying more and its funny that after i'm decided that everything will work out for my good i find this video and it just confirms what i've already decided. so thank you BG !

[@SymplyDymondz2]

Keep encouraging others. There's always someone out there that's experiencing the same or similar thing and need those words just at the time that you put it out there. So I say from the bottom of my heart being one of those ppl..............................THANK YOU!

[@NzuriMahoganySoul]

BronzeGoddess01 I come to your channel everyday . I'm always looking for an encouraging word from you. And BAM...this goes perfect with the situation that I am going though. But, God is working it out in his time! Thank you so much for allowing yourself to be a vessel. You just do not know how many people you are touching all over the world. Peace and Blessings!!!!!

[@lifewithshawnda]

Be encouraged sis.

[@Getitgirl816]

You have made me notice, right now in this moment that some ppl are put in my life for a season and some a lifetime. I have heard this before but never applied it to my life. i was so caught up in the "why" and had to believe ten yrs later that if we were meant to be we would have been :O)

[@249money]

Great words of encouragement and like they always say GOD works in mysterious ways. And maybe this was his way of moving your husband from one great position to something even greater.

[@Brittonydawn]

thank you soo much !!!! when u come out on the other side ... when the rainbow comes out u just wanna laugh because it really isnt over :)

[@Iamrahcole]

i subbed your channel for loc vids because I've just started my loc journey which i am documeting on youtube, but I get so much more from your vid. I myself am 26 yrs old, married and a mother of two on my way back to school for my first degree while all my friends are either graduated or working on their masters. So sometimes it does get discouraging, but it's amazing how God sends you messages when you least expect it. Thanks for all you do!

[@nnekaisblessed]

I have watched your videos and just amazed by the sincerity, love, and wisdom flow out. I have asked those questions, "why me". I'm in a point in my life in where I'm thinking about career changes, "lost lives", and the hopes of marriage and a family. It's not working out the way I envisioned at all but this video gives me hope. I will continue to praise His name in my circumstances and follow Him.

[@epd0126]

praying for you..Father, please bless this young lady and her husband, increase their territory, their finances, their health and all that they touch. keep them safe from harm, in Jesus name amen...

[@avarochelle]

OMG,, Thank you so much for sharing this!!! I knew this, but sometimes we always need a reminder..God always works everything for the good for those who love HIm!!!

[@ichik333]

Honestly BG, you share the best and most meaningful messages. And when i watch your videos, I always receive timely advice. May God continue to bless you and your family!

[@Geminellie06]

God will always overflow your cup! i definitely can identify with this considering that i am a recent college graduate who started off lookin 4 any job and ended up in one of the best organizations in the state of illinois. Which is also an org in which i actually use my degree! This is exactly y we should stress so much and learn to trust that God has a plan :-)

[@fredbless7]

Oh my word !!! I 've just seen your video by divin coincidence.I didn't know you.I think the lord have just used you to talk to me.I think i am gonna share that with some of my homies.Bless your heart my sister

[@CYaya88]

Had to watch this again because I'm going through a very trying time regarding my work situation and life just isn't making sense. Trusting that God will keep me during this period and that I'll come out shining and see the light at the end of the tunnel

[@zoe77able]

Thanks for putting yourself out there like that, you didn't have to do that. But I really understand what you mean. I live in a place where jobs are scarce. I just go my own place and sometimes getting rent is hard. But GOD reminded me in his word, "Seek ye 1st the kingdom AND his righteousness THEN all these things will be added unto you!" He's always made a way outta really NO WAY! lol GBU and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@faith1609UK]

Hey, how have I been led to this video!! I'm experiencing a similar position as your husband right now, and although I know God is in control, that He has the last word and all, sometimes i'm being a bit down. But praise Him, He is great, and I thank Him that He put these words in your mouth and the will to share it. Be continually under His blessings x

[@ThePeAcHyK]

Love this and your honesty!! I definately can I identify with this in so many areas of my life!!! I thank God that He is constantly giving me things to be grateful for. I still struggle with patience in this area, but I am learning that God takes care of all things. ; )

[@mpenny226]

Wow! God makes provision. Thank you for sharing this with us. I know that it was really personal but I feel really blessed by you sharing this with me. I often ask God...when God when? You are the sweetest person Bronze Goddess. Congrats to Mr. Bronze Goddess lol

[@lifewithshawnda]

@MsCaliGirly Thank you sis. The means so much coming from you. Love ya.

[@authorlajefferson]

Again, thank you so much for this encouragement! God knows HE knows what I need!

[@lauranthenya7521]

You just spoke to me BronzeGoddess01 I 100% relate... Just when i thought this is it, it all vanished away and that crushed me BUT Deferred does not mean denied.... My season is coming. Thanks Gal. God Bless

[@LKreationz]

Jesus, I had to see this video for a reason...Be blessed Sis!!

[@elenamelas6833]

God bless you BG. I've been watching your videos for a long long time but this one really really hit home. I faced a similar situation last year with hubby and I..God definitely came through and made it better than we could have ever imagined..

[@shaz1121]

Wow I feel like you are talking to me. I had applied for another position at my job had a second interview and anything seems as if I was going to get it. Today I was told I did not get the position. I felt alittle disappointed but still felt blessed that I still had a job and that maybe that job was not for me. Thank you so much for this video.

[@DDIVA07]

Girl this is powerful.... God is amazing... believe it or not i only found ur site/link today while looking for some locs styles... I luv ur makeup/eyeshadow tutorials as well... I will be logged on regularly as i need to get the hang of doin my own hair..I am a victim of over twisting my locs so it began thinning out...(my hair is mid-back in length) so u cld giv some ideas or modifications for longer hair while doing ur tut's.... Thanks so much and keep it up... Deferred is NOT denied...

[@G4shmaster]

[@Erica2426]

Thx u luv, may God blessed u and ur family. Thx u for ur encouraging words and reminding us dat God has a BIGGER and BETTER plan. God has so many ways to test our FAITH in Him. We just have to be strong and when things do not turn out the way we want it too, we have to remember that God would never mislead us, but dat He will deliver us ; )
