No more a Corporate Slave

These past couple of days, I kept going through my blogs' design and profile (yes, it's really blogs coz I got more than one blog). My profile states am a Corporate Slave but am no longer one for five long months now. Gone are the days of working 10-14 hours a day and working 6 or 7 days a week! Done with foregoing breaks and lunches due to report deadlines or calls queuing.  Now, I am nameless and faceless number that adds up to the statistics of jobless people.

I am thinking if I should remove that description in my profile. However, I chose to retain it because it will be a reminder of how I once cease to live a real life. I have neglected so many things at that time particularly my spiritual life.

For someone who is a hard-worker I must admit I missed working and the pressures at work. I am bored and there are days that I just keep on refreshing the homepage of FB just to keep me preoccupied ( I stopped doing that because its gets boring now.  I have turned to checking the Page View stats of my blogs this time like a stockbroker!).  Do I regret resigning from my work? Sometimes I feel like regretting my decision to leave the company without a new job yet but the good things that happened to me in the past five months overshadowed my regrets.  My heart says it was a wise move. Someone told me on the day I quit my job that there was never a bad timing or right timing.  It will always be the perfect timing. Sometimes I worry about the future but as a child of God I believe He will take care of the future.  I have to stop worrying and stop thinking about the future.

Nine months back, I sometimes wonder why I don't have challenges in life.  I began to doubt whether am His child. I guess I was thinking aloud and the Lord must have heard it so here I am a jobless now. :)  If I will be given a chance to turn back the time and undo my decision five months back, I won't change my hasty decision. I will still leave the company. This joblessness state has given me an opportunity to enjoy traveling and rekindle my first love that has gone sour.  My first love is my personal relationship with God. 

The five months that I wasn't working are not wasted time.  They were spent productively.  Took a Photoshop CS5 tutorial, learned new recipes, rode an elephant, rode bike with friends, gained new friends, flew a kite, trekked in Chiang mai, gained 3 kilos weight, to name a few stuff I did.

Romans 8:28 says all things work together for good...

Today I woke up with a nice feeling that something good is going to happen.  I am happy over nothing in particular. I thank God for this challenge and other challenges am going through.
