Perfect plan

A lot has changed in a week. I've been offered a job, but it's not from CLEO. I went for an interview at IMH (Institute of Mental Health) for the position of Corporate Communications officer last Thursday. The job would require me to update their website, write for the newsletters and do some PR stuff.

The next day, they called to offer me the job.

In my mind, I was relieved and excited that I've got this job. At the same time, I was confused and lost because I really wanted to work at CLEO. So, I told the lady from IMH that I'd give an answer on Monday, 10am.

Today is only Saturday and I've already gotten my answer. I'm so certain of my decision that I can sit in front of my computer now and tell you this testimony, even though I have more time to think it through.

Yesterday night, I prayed that God would show me the way. I prayed for signs that had to be so obvious that I can't be wrong about my decision. And today, He has showed me so many times that this job at IMH is the right one.

The first sign from God came through a friend. This person has loads of experience in the working world and it just felt very reassuring for my friend to say good things about the job because this friend is usually very critical and difficult to please. Then later, when I was attending mass, the readings felt like it was especially picked for me...About letting go of ourselves and letting God take control. About taking the plunge into the deep and trusting Him. And one of the 'final' signs from God was through a song during mass. We were singing 'Be not afraid' and the words were practically screaming out to me...so much that I almost couldn't hold back my tears. Yeap...

And lastly, I know that this job is the right one because in my heart, I feel at ease...that although it may not be my ideal job, although I know that people are going to make lots and lots of jokes out of it...At the end of the day, I still feel the peace in my heart, a quiet knowing that everything is going according to God's plan.
