Hi Everyone.
I just thought I would share this with you because I really feel that God is good and well, I should just share it with all of you. (it’s a really long winded story so please bear with me)
For the past 2 weeks or so, I have wanted to quit my current job in the event company I am working in. Though the people here are really nice, I wanted to spend more time with my family and friends. I was also getting tired of working so hard( I have had to stay in the office till 3-4am quite a few times) and just wanted to spend the next 2 months in Singapore relaxing. So you must be thinking, BIG DEAL, it’s just quitting a job right? WRONG. I was very afraid to let my boss know I wanted to end my contract early as he can be quite a difficult person to talk to as he can easily twist what you said around and somehow you are staying in the office for the next 5 years(kidding). That is just to give an example of how clever he is.
So anyway, I was thinking of whether to lie to him, to try and give him what I thought was reason he would be more accepting of. However, my mum and dad told me not to do so, because that would be on my conscience and that it would be my integrity at stake. So while I was doing my quiet time and just prayed to God to show me what to do. And I realised that, if I want to live a life that glorifies God, I will have to make decisions that reflect His glory. And so then I realised that i would tell the truth and to just trust that He will help me through this.
So the yesterday I tried to tell my boss but he was always busy with something or I was always busy with something. In the end I sent him a message at night to let him know about me leaving early and he replied okay. Today when i came to work he talked to me and he was really nice and everything just turned out alright. i know it may seem like something small to you, but this is really something I want to praise God for. I chose to honour Him and he made it all alright. See you saturday.
Love,
Rachel Lian
