As I was talking with few friends the last 1 week, I just can&#8217;t help but to consider myself very blessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A friend who is still looking for a job, a friend who&#8217;s about to lose his job, and another friend whose job is not permanent and not certain about the future. I can think of another friend who&#8217;s thankful for any jobs that come on his way. I don&#8217;t have to struggle or worry so much about my job. Can I trust God the same if I were on their shoes like I&#8217;m with this job? I am not sure. Most probably I would worry, my face would be downcasted, my stride would be less certain, and my outlook would be cloudy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>As I think of all that happened in the last 3.5 years. I never planned it to be this way. Only by God&#8217;s grace that I am at this place today. And that&#8217;s purely out of His grace, not because anything special about me or from me. That&#8217;s only about having a job to put a bread on the table. In terms of job that you could enjoy doing, it&#8217;s another thing. In terms of workplace that have a good culture is another thing. To have boss that care about you, colleague that care about you, these all only God could bring about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that&#8217;s only about job. In comparison with all the spiritual blessings I perceived God has given me, despite all my shortcomings and weaknesses, I am truly grateful to God. Indeed I am very much blessed and in unmeasured debt of gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you Lord for your incomparable grace; all the spiritual blessings of love, Holy Spirit, protection, favor, friendships, in Christ Jesus. Help me to be humble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I never setup to do what I am doing today or be where I am today.
