THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

Today was a very big decision making day for me cos I did something which I never thought I would do or at least not in the near future, and that was I have resigned from my current job, shortly after I received my ten years service award from the company. What made my sudden departure so haste and swift is something which even I, myself, has no time to ponder on. Maybe that's how God works on us...

Last week one of my church friend called and informed me of a job opportunity being offered by a company in the aviation industry. She added that it was the Holy Spirit who prompted her to call me to apply. Initially I didn't take it seriously cos I didn't have the intention for a career switch yet as Naomi is still too young and she needs my full attention. However the invitations kept coming back and I began to wonder what if the prompting of the Holy Spirit to my friend is true. Finally I decided to give it a try, thinking that on the other hand, I probably will not get the job based on my existing job nature and working experience.

I went for the first interview on Monday and to my surprise they actually shortlisted me and asked me to go for a second interview on Wednesday. Of course during this period, something happened along the way which make it possible for me to be called for the second interview. The other candidate whom they have already chosen earlier didn't turned up and thus she was rejected by them. All these events really show God at work and I am basically being led through the whole process.

This morning the company sent me the letter of offer and I accepted it. Although it was a good news, I felt a sudden sadness within me as I'm going to leave my current company soon. I'm actually going to miss my agency and all my good colleagues who have gone through the ups and downs with me for the past ten years. And the worst part of all was to break the news to my manager who is leaving Singapore for a convention tonight. This kind of feeling is really beyond description and...... please forgive me KM! Besides that I also want to apologise to all my loyal and faithful clients who had supported me throughout all these years. Sorry I won't be able to offer my services to you all again...

Since I have taken a big step out of my comfort zone and venture into the wilderness, I prayed for God's holy presence to be with me and see me through in this new career and that wilderness is actually the land of milk and honey where I should be. Amen!

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me....
Psalm 23:1-4
