Reaching the Horizon...

..BY LEAVING THE SHORE

A few months back, I was wondering whether I would make it once I would move out of my cocoon into the real working world.

With nothing but faith in God, I left my last job which was slowly burning me out. Believe me, a live-in work is one of the most stressful ( and financially unsatisfactory ) job out there. Then, I received my open work visa and I decided to quit, unsure whether I could get another kind of job..

But I still remember the lines: You can never reach the horizon, if you just remain on the shore.
Thus I left my ocean shore and embarked on a new journey towards the unknown. I was not scared anymore. Once you have landed and worked on a foreign land all by yourself, you are never scared anymore of anything standing across your way..

After a few weeks of daily search ( and leaving resumes to the RIGHT persons,) God answered my prayers. I found work in two places close to each other. After my first days of work in both places, I came to like both jobs.

Now, I have 2 full-time positions. The work fits up my alley because both involve sales and customer relations.

I even have a 3rd job which I do now just once a week ( another 8 hours ). I do not like to give this 3rd one up because my employer is one of the nicest persons I met here in BC. She would not like anybody else to work for her except me.

Now I am wondering where I get my strength in performing those several work-hours. I amaze myself ( and my co workers too )how enduring I am to my jobs.My smile seem to attract new and steadfast customers in both places! In most of the seven weekdays, I have only 4 hours sleep..Even if I am given 2 days off, I am still called to work ( if I like ) during those free days... Why not? I say to myself. It means more money and God knows how much I need the $$ now-a-days!

My present life is a testimony on how good God is. I was never sick in all the years since I arrived in Vancouver. One time I thought I could never get anymore my Immigrant papers, but someway, somehow God showed me the way...

"Praise the Lord!!" will always be my battle cry....
