Everybody has a give-up story. There will come a time when we need to give up something good in order to gain something better. Julie said that God cannot give us something if our Hands our full. It’s true. Leaving Eperformax was not that easy. You can never find a job like that anywhere else here in the Philippines. I was in my innest comfort zone there. The job was so easy and half of the day we’re just sleeping, eating on the floor and talking to each other. IP culture is the best. I will never forget the People.

It’s also true that when little miracles happen, we see God’s glory. Getting the job at JPMC is a miracle. I can’t believe I passed the bloody interview. However, the very moment I signed up for JPMC I knew that I’ll have to give up something big. Compromising my Part-time job was the hardest thing to do. I’ll lose a big part of my income. It’s like I lost 60% of what I have in my hands. So I tried to reflect and tried to throw away any doubts.

I knew I am here for a purpose.
I remember I prayed the Prayer of Jabez for a week prior to my interview.

(And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,

"Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.)


“Oh, that You would bless me indeed,”

He did. Like Julie said, we are extremely blessed and highly favored. God continuously gives WHAT I NEED. Believe me, this isn’t what I wanted. What I wanted was for IP to be extended. What I wanted was to retain my part-time job. I was waiting for a miracle but I was blessed with something even better. I may have lost IP and my part-time but I gained simply what’s best for me. I may not have the same income now but I never felt this FULL my whole life. I’m telling you, there’s so much more to life than Money.

“…and enlarge my territory,”

He did. He gave me a big project. I’m here for a REASON.
- That I should learn to be contented with what I have by all means.
- That I should learn to ask for wisdom and use the gift He has given me.
- That I am on a mission.
- That this is God’s will.
- That I should learn to trust Him. That I should “WALK BY FAITH and NOT BY SIGHT”
- That I will start to be a mature Christian who will LEAD by example.
- That it’s time to get out of my shell. J
- That I am here… simply to GLORIFY HIM.

“…that Your hand would be with me,”

He is always with us... never walking away and never leaving our side. I am being guided. He was there with me during the “bloody interview”. Althought it was so clear that God wants me there, I never felt any confidence at all that I’ll get the job. And so, while I was waiting to be interviewed, all I can utter was “I can’t do this without You. Speak for me.” Because I know he was there.
I may not have the self-confidence that most people have but as I always say, my confidence is HIM alone.

There’s MORE to life than money guys. Money can get me to school… to get my dream job… to get my dream house… my dream camera… my dream vacation… but that’s it.

JESUS can give MORE to that.

This is a life lived with SIMPLICITY, FAITH, CONTENTMENT, HAPPINESS, SECURITY AND SO ON.
A life lived with Jesus.
