Job

As the departing date gets near, I've thought about the team that I will be going into. I am grateful that I was blessed with three job offers, and all of them are very lucrative and competetive offers. God has given me these choices to select the one that my heart yearns the most. Since then, I was further shown God's work in the descisions I made.

One day, my HR called me to notify me of this great opening in a new team - Asia Pacific team. A team that I thought was a perfect match and a perfect fit for me. In hindsight, this truly is God's work.

Unlike many other things, which things happened because may or may not be my input. But in this situation, I had no control over it. The opportunity has just shown itself.

It's also very comforting to know that, it was indeed a good desicion to choose Expedia the first place. I've always thought how my experiences in Japan and China would help me. But with this team assignment, it seems things are falling together.

Surrendering

I've been pretty down lately and also frustrated with how the things are turning out. I was at a point almost about to give up on my faith, and thought the heck with my life. I realized when things are good, I love God and I feel close to him. But as soon as things turn sour, I hate him and regardless of how reassuring things were when outlooks are bright, the moment tables are turned, I forget about those reassurances.

Looking back, he has given me so much. I've felt grateful, but the thankfulness only last as long as the duration for those pleasures. I agree, there are many bad unfortunate things happened in the past months, but I can't completely deny nothing good has happened either. Just days ago, I was very stressed and frustrated over relationships matters as well as financial situations. I now realize maybe I am frustrated not because God has foresaken me, but rather I wanted my will to be done, rather than surrendering to his timing and to his plans. Upon coming to that realization, I was finally able to look at the blessings he has given me already.

1. I was blessed with being able to finish 5 years of my post-secondary education at the University of Waterloo, graduating in honours Computer Engineering program.
2. My parents has provided me with financial support to allow me to spend a month in Europe to enjoy some down time.
3. A caring friend who looks out for the best interest of me, even in the midst of her own personal problems in life. She who truly care about me, and who supports me.
4. My other friends who contiuely to pray for me, and who constantly there to remind me how much I mean to them, and that I should persevere and be patient.
5. In another month, I will be leaving for Seattle for my fulltime job. Not many people are blessed with an awesome job right after graduating.

And just today, I was reminded by two seperate incidents that showed God still loved me, even though I've foresaken him for a while.
