Nine more days...

I am excited for next Sunday, October 21, when I'd be returning to my job in the casino as dealer. It's going to be a totally different ball game for me this time as much is expected from me. Not to be presumptuous or paranoid or anything, it's just that I know, more eyes will be on me this time because they would want to see CHANGES. I've been suspended for 150 days because of tardiness and I know it's a shameful thing to talk about. But I'm writing about it because, ironically, I've learned a lot during these months. I could have gone abroad or got employed in any company easily. Modesty aside, I can speak good English and I am a very emphatic listener. I am very teachable and open to learning and I could have landed a job in the call center industry in no time at all. But I chose not to be employed and settled for part-time hosting for an events company instead. I got booked several times and even had the chance to go all-expenses-paid to Baguio City. The company also hired me for two weeks as one of their office staff so it helped me through, too. More to that, my greatest achievement, really, is having been able to gain the discipline of communing with God daily and thanking Him even for the little things. I've learned more deeply about 'commitment,' 'accountability,' and 'integrity.' Oh, if I may correct myself, it isn't exactly "my" greatest achievement, but God's achievement in me. I wouldn't have done anything without Christ at the helm of my life during the past five months. I wouldn't have been happier if I haven't grown deeper in knowing more of Him and His love. I wouldn't have become stronger in my faith if He hasn't equipped me and blessed me with generous and loving friends in CCF. I've seen God at work and I know that He is still very much at work in my life right now. He has called me to something that isn't entirely comfortable for me and I believe that because He knows me way better than I know myself, He will reveal to me His wonderful Plan in His perfect time. I'm excited and somewhat fearful, too. But believing that He loves me, I dare say, THE BEST IS YET TO COME.
