“Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.” – Proverbs 16:3 NLT
My first job in Manila was in a hospital. For the first 15 days, office hours ang schedule as a trainee. After that, mag-start na as probationary with shifting schedules. Maganda yung hospital dahil walking distance lang sa bahay so very convenient talaga sa akin.
Pero days before matapos ang 15 days ko, sabi ko kay Lord, kapag ang unang schedule na binigay sa akin sa start ng probationary is Sunday, hindi ito para sa akin.
Lo and behold! Sunday was given as my first duty. Pinost ng chief radiology technician sa board ng Thursday ang schedule. After lunch of the same day, pumunta ako ng Human Resources Department at nag-resign.
My other family members were confused, saying and asking, “Bakit?” “Sayang naman!” Even my Christian aunt wasn’t happy with my decision. Pero ako naman ang iniisip ko lang ay yun ang usapan namin ni Lord.
At present, I’m glad I did that. My life and career will be on a different path if I decided to stay in that hospital. I miss that kind of passion, dedication, and trust sa pwedeng gawin
ng Diyos sa life natin as long as we commit everything to Him. Yung Siya ang priority sa bawat decision natin sa buhay. Ngayon kasi napapangunahan ng fear lalo na may mga anak na, iniisip ko na yung kalagayan nila. But then this verse reminded me again, God knows my needs, He is in control. I just need to trust Him and commit everything to Him.
