::A FREE RIDE..

One unexpected day, I woke up with an intense feeling of willingness to do a goal. It’s I think one of a typical scenario for a lot of people wherein you found yourself on one moment, thinking that where you are right now is not the place you are destined to be.

Actually, it was not a one-moment-moment. it came as many time as it wants. If this is a person and not a moment, He is like an angel whispering to me that I should get out of this place.. A more meaningful place is waiting for me. And as many times He knocks on my head, as many times I ignore him and give the chance for myself to eventually know if I should listen to his provoking voice or not.

Until one morning, I found myself being decided of the matter. The better place is readily available for me—and this is the place I am dreaming to go to ever since. Lord God is answering the prayers. THIS IS IT. I can’t be wrong.

So I did the first move. Consult my friends about the situation and surprisingly, they all have agreed with me. Meaning, everything is taking its course and I should better do the move—to resign. And so I did, and everything happened so smoothly. I thank the Lord for that.

The next move is waiting for me and so I should start, to finally be on that better place. Complete all the necessary requirements and then attend the training. But after believing that this opportunity is all mine, a hard battle came in. I had to choose between my family and my dream work. Of course, with no questions asked, I turned it down. If it’s for me, the opportunity will still present itself.

I became an instant mother for about 3 months. I had the joy of experiencing what it’s like to have a baby, even if this little angel doesn’t come from me. It wasn’t easy to stay all night and watch over her. But it’s fulfilling. I love her with all my heart. And I won’t ever forget that I once became a mom because of her.

The storm has passed and I have to get back to the life that I abandoned for a while-my life. I again started to look for jobs. Now, I’m pretty decided about the fact that, I will look for jobs that I am willing to do and I know I will excel. Impulsive decision is a no no anymore. This is it.

There came a point that I almost lost enough strength to wait. But the Lord sustained me. HE didn’t allow me to stumble, to lose hope or to give up. I patiently wait. And another surprise came. My dream work is again offered to me. This is really it.

i went to the process, met my batchmates, it was sooo fun that I don’t feel it’s work. I’m shocked on the screening and met the vocal coach that made me feel sooooo nervous!! It was a worthwhile experience. Then a call from another company just made my head swirl. Another opportunity is opening its door for me. I decided to go to the interview to see what will happen. Then in just a snap, a decision is made. I want this job. I will forget my dream to be a vocal coach and accept the challenge of being a financial executive. I prayed for it, I consulted ate bullet and my dgroup for this. And I know this job will be of big help for my family. It’s funny how the turn of events is running. It was like, I’m here today, and tomorrow I’m already miles away from where I came from.

Being in AXA was such a roller coaster ride. I was emotionally driven because I met a lot of nice people and learned a lot from them—my batchmates, Ms. Gale, my area mates, metrobankers and many more. I even got the chance to meet and be close to some valued clients of metrobank. I love this job. I lovebeing with people.

Until one day, the roller coaster decided to rush down. There came a point that I realized what’s really behind this ride. It’s not about the job and what comforts in life that it can give me and my family, it’s not also about my career growth but I found out that the Lord puts me in this place to meet new people that will help me to grow as a person. He also gave me the chance to share what I have with this people. And I feel blessed to add them in my life’s treasured memories.

And now that I started a new phase of life again, new ride that brought me in another country, I don’t exactly know the purpose of being here… but I know that it will be worth all the sacrifices. New life, new place, new people, new ritch with the same old heart.
