What an awesome weekend I had.
Well, I have made the decision for my next career move. Although I had chosen the lesser of both, but ironically I felt the peace to make such a decision during cellgroup on fri night. Of course, on the surface, it may seem to be a foolish decision to make and reject such a huge increment, however I firmly believe in my spirit that it's another step that requires me to put in my faith and trust God that come next Feb, I will be converted to permanent and recieve another pay increment!. As I look back on the major decisions I had to make in the past 2 years for my career in general, it's always taking a step of faith and to keep trusting His leading that He will make all things beautiful in time to come!
1) Entering into a IT educator position after exiting my 1st job as a web designer
2) Venturing into the Banking industry after teaching IT for 2 years at a local sec school
3) Choosing the lesser of 2 options that will effectively determine the next 1 year of my career.
The beautiful thing is that I will not lose anything by choosing the lesser but God-directed option!. Throughout this entire process of praying through and choosing between the 2 options, I have learnt to be more sensitive to the Holy Spirit and to feel the peace in my heart when making such a decision. Indeed, at the same time, I am also very humbled to be offered such an opportunity to join an established offshore bank with 67% increment. Really very humbled because I know that this is beyond my current capability and job scope.
With God, all things are possible. Without God in the picture, nothing is possible.
Ok now, what are the various things left on my agenda list? (not in order of preference or importance)
1) Establish a regular savings plan for the next 1 - 2 years for my marriage and MBA education
2) Purchase an Off Peak Daihatsu Sirion
3) Purchase new clothes for my wardrobe revamp
4) Jog and Swim twice a week to prepare for Stan Chart Marathon
5) Decide between a UOB or Citibank credit card by comparing the various product offerings
6) Finish the choir website asap!
7) Continue to lift up my friendship with her into His hands and continue to be faithful in the little things for this friendship
8) Continue to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and to have a pure heart every single day by praying at least 45 mins daily.
9) Continue to submit my flesh, spirit and mind under His Lordship
10) Continue to bless my family members and friends
At this juncture, I just want to thank God once again for all the blessings that He has poured forth into my life; my career, financial and emotional blessings!. Truly, the end is going to be better than the beginning!
Am looking forward to the month of July because many wonderful things are happening!!. Haha!...really feel very excited!. Heya, if you are reading this entry now, just want to tell you that you can expect nothing but SURPRISES come that very special day!..haha!...hope you will like it too!. :)
