Topsy-turvy!
This September, God's plans for me became clearer. My boss was about to sign the contract with my lawyer on availing her services to process my sponsorship, but (once again) he changed his mind about sponsoring me. The company lost a lot of clients and he said he could not justify why he would still sponsor another employee.
Gut-feel?
I had this feeling that my employer was going to ask me to find another employer. I contacted an employment agency last Friday and I was scheduled for an interview on Tuesday. Coincidentally, Monday came and my boss told me I had 15 days to find another job. Was I glad to have seen it coming!
Praise Him in everything!
I told my friends about the latest happenings and detours in my life, and I asked for prayers. I never talked to anyone about how I truly felt. I just thought it would be good to consult God first just like I used to. Little did I know that all my pent up emotions were just waiting to be spilled. I could not help but cry to the Lord that night. All my efforts seem to go in vain. God told me to sing to Him songs of victory. Could you imagine the turmoil that went inside of me? Here I am, feeling like a failure. Yet God instructed me to praise Him for He is a victorious God. That night, I did not know how to end my prayer. I fell asleep crying.
How great is our God!
I got a job after 2 days. It was going to pay me higher than what I was getting now, enough to cover the employment agency's cut. I could not believe it all happened within a week!
Tough race to heaven.
Many times, I am humbled and I become lonely. In the process, I have done many things to cope with depression and I fail pathetically at earning any of the Lord's mercy - including failing to pray when I am in a state of ungrace. Even after eight years in community, I realize I have not grown in major areas of my life. So I continue to ask for your prayers.
Total recall.
Today, I will meet with a priest to avail of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Shortly after, I will meet my new Spiritual Director, a nun who has helped a sister in her healing process. I pray that she may indeed help me tap on that grace that I need to stay rooted in the Lord.
