God’s Great Gift

When I first heard about the offer, I did not pay much attention to it because I thought it was just one of those “offers”. You see, it came during a time when I was receiving quite a number of calls from head-hunting agencies offering contractual positions in Asia, Africa and Latin America and after expressing interest and prettily got excited about it, I wouldn’t hear about them or even hear their famous line: “our client cannot accept you as you are still connected with their customer”. Well maybe it’s their easy way of saying that they are not interested in my qualification at all. Hehe!!! Then out of nowhere, this agency which was unfamiliar to me made a follow-up call scheduling me for a technical interview over the phone with their client. After a couple of weeks and series of phone conversations, I found myself sitting face-to-face with my future-boss for further interview in one of the buildings in Makati. The next thing I knew…I was signing the contract, submitting requirements for the work permit, applying for employment visa, getting hold of one-way plane ticket, packing my bags and off to…ENGLAND!!!

Never in my wildest dreams had I ever thought of getting a permanent position in this company, much more in their United Kingdom office. I thought it was simply impossible. I was hoping and praying for opportunities to move on with my career but not as BIG as this one. This is far more than I expected and up until now, I myself can’t even believe this great gift. Indeed, God has all the wonderful plans for all of us. He simply made all of these possible for me. All we need to do is trust in HIM and patiently wait for the right opportunity at the right time…in God’s perfect time.
