At the crossroad

I'm at the crossroad of my life 2 weeks ago;  but now I just choose the road to take. I just resigned from a job that I thought was my dream job a year ago. A telecommunication job that would eventually give me the big bucks that I dream of eventually. Alas it was not. It was a proof that life sometimes do not go the way we planned it to be. God has other plans for me I reckon and my meager brain can not fathom or understand the grand scheme that He planned for my life. I still remember 2 months ago when I was full of uncertainties and fear of the unknown that I repeatedly told myself that something great is going to happen to me this year. I said this to give me hope and will power to continue with my life, pick up the pieces that was shattered by events of last year, salvage what's left of it and make something new out of it. God was really generous and kind that He gave me a job in COCA-COLA. A company that I never dreamed of joining before.

Perhaps God wants me somewhere else because I did not even apply there. Jobstreet select called me up and told me if I'm interested to be a cadet engineer at Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines. I'm the kind of person who never pass up an opportunity like this especially from a multinational company like Coke!. Amidst the global crisis that the manufacturing companies in the Phillipines are facing I took the leap of faith and went on with the interviews and exams that followed. Lo and behold I got the job and signed my job offer sheet a week ago! This will be a great adventure for me since I know that the Lord is telling me that He needed me somewhere else. I'm saying this because I still don't know where I'm going to  be assigned. Coca-Cola has 19 bottling plants all over the country and I could be thrown as far as Pampanga in Luzon and as far as Davao City and Cagayan de Oro City in Mindanao.

Now what are the things that prompted me to accept this job and put my RF Engineering career on hold indefinitely? Well Coke can give me a fresh new start for my career wherein I'll be taking a supervisory level position after 4 months of intensive training, they gave me a good salary,  I'm also thinking that this will be the last company that I'll transfer into and I'll be here until I retire and lastly; I was longing to be somewhere else since January because Laguna and Metro Manila has full of memories that I want to forget. Save for the good ones with my high school classmates (lol!).

I was at a crossroad before and now I took the road that will lead to somewhere knowing that God is with me every step of the way and trusting Him as I go my way and leaving it all up to Him for his purpose and glory! Whatever I do today, I will do it for the glory of God. Who knows where I may end up but all I know is this is another chapter of my life that I can't wait to start!
