Celebrate the good news! A new career is coming..

 

Hallelujah ! To God be all the glory and praise!

Last week,I applied a job at Agylisys and I had a virtual initial interview last Monday. On a short notice, I was invited for a face to face interview last Friday after my shift I hurried to their office not far from my current work. The role is an office/sales administrator and I met Ben(the Managing Director) and Matt(the Senior Sales Director) both are in the Windsor, UK office. Both of them were so approachable in person, very warming and friendly and told me that they both were hoteliers back in the day. Honestly the interview was so smooth, relaxed and I never felt so much tension in the room. It was like a friendly chat. 

Today, I received a message from Dan(who the Senior HR Director) telling me that I got the role and discussed about the offer! I was initially offered GBP30,000/annually but he told me over the phone that the offer is GBP38,000 and is not negotiable. Like hello? Do I need to negotiate about that? I was literally making GBP25,000 currently. That offer is not to be turned down. 

Glory and praise to the King! The Lord heard my prayers! I knew it! This role is the best. I remember I had several failed applications and I literally cried about it. I remember I applied a job not too far from home, it’s literally 7 minutes walk away from home. I applied a Virtual personal assistant to Comxo last March and another one is at ArvatoConnect not too long ago. I literally borrowed Liz(my coworker) laptop and I failed the test. There were a lot, so much, I couldn’t count it with my fingers, hundreds of rejections but God gave me this role. Dan, told me there were literally 70 applicants for this role and the last time I went physically for an interview, the building receptionist was telling me, I was the only one who came for an interview and it gave me high hopes. And he was literally correct!

I was talking to my mum a while ago and told her about the good news. I was at the train on my way home and I felt tears on my eyes. I was telling her that this new job is from God. He was preparing me for the best. He knows what’s best and His plans is far more better than mine. All I need to do is pray, believe and trust Him. Challenges like this need faith and patience. I was constantly applying new jobs since November of last year. This new role is a gift. So I need to make new adjustments, perseverance and dedication just like what I did on my first role here in the UK. Just when I am about to leave, nice comments were coming from different booking platforms. I was receiving a lot of good mentions from guests. I totally understand what hospitality now. Being sincere, genuine and understanding to guests. That’s what guests love. And faking smiles! Hahahaha! 

I also thank my current role for this is how I got the new role. I am going to work for a software company for hospitality businesses. I need to have a clear mind, focus and dedication. God will never leave me. May God give me wisdom to broaden my knowledge and learning through these years.

These verse from Isaiah is just a proof that when you always cling to God and trust the Lord, not to your own understanding He will be gracious. He will always provide all your needs. He always knows what’s best for us. He is a living proof that all good things come if you invite goodness and openness. Being kind to yourself. Lifting all your worries to the Lord and be compassionate.

God bless us all.

Celebration of our Second Wedding anniversary

 Praise the Lord for His goodness! That’s already two years! WOW! Amazing! 

                   

 

 

    

We celebrated our second wedding anniversary in a hotel at Reading, UK and we were surprised inside our room. A note in a cake was there when we entered the room, I wanted to thank the staff of Crowne Plaza Reading! It was sweet! And I love red velvet cakes. Reading was amazing,  it was a short stay but a memorable one. We had the time on ourselves away from our busy life working and thriving. 

Paul also gave me a handbag this year. Oh! I loved it! It was a lil bit pricey though but he took the chance to get me one and of course I took the time to choose it myself. Praise the Lord for his goodness!

    

            

Our relationship for the past two years was a rough ride. It’s because we manage to live together finally after a very long time that we were apart. Having the faith to be constant and patient is one of the most difficult challenges I am facing. My anger issues is sometimes arising but I am thankful that Pstr Bong Saquing’s videos preaching that we should love difficult people with unconditional love just like Jesus love us so much without any reason to doubt and believe in us.

The Lord is reminding us every time that He is the center of our relationship. Growing faithfully with him and asking for His guidance to take over our lives and be His bond servants. 

Everyday, I ask the Lord to give us an encounter to be able for us to choose Him over material desires, lust and sin. Asking the Lord to give us wisdom to choose right choices and decisions and be responsible because we are grown adults already. 

I admit that I am a difficult person and I easily get angry and moody at times especially when people don’t meet my expectations. And I am truly sorry for being arrogant and vain sometimes.  I tend to compare myself a lot to other people and be insecure. But God constantly reminding me that I am special and I am unique. Love and patience makes me out-stand to others and also kindness. I always pray to Mother Mary to intercede for me and make me a patient wife, a loving and caring wife just like being a true Christian wife. 

Lord I pray that you always guide and protect our marriage. Be the center of our relationship and never stop listening to our prayers.

The Lord is Risen! Hallelujah!

 

HAPPY EASTER to everyone!

Wow! Lent was over! Let us all celebrate! The Lord has risen! Hallelujah!

Lent taught me a lot! It humbled me so much! My habits changed and my lifestyle as well. Thank you Lord for giving me this space for myself, my family and my career. I realized so much more than what I expected. It also taught me to reflect small things to big things. Deactivating my social media account changed me a lot too. It taught me not to be so self conscious and insecure which it felt so much better. The risen Lord taught us that we must not doubt God’s plans whatever it may cost us. His plans were far more better and bigger than what we could imagine. 

The Lent was a season of silence. Silence in the chaos. Maintaining my inner peace and developing my mental clarity, composure while surrounded by external turmoil, stress and high pressure situations. Lent was so intentional, being silent allowed me for thoughtful action, emotional stability and the preservation of my energy increased especially in reacting impulsively to noise. 

One thing I am constantly developing now is being calm when my husband is home. I don’t know why I am always annoyed, irritated, and agitated when he’s around. There are times that I love being with him but most of the time I am annoyed and irritated. I need to break down all my issues and analyze deeply why is he causing me annoyance. Anyway, I am so grateful that we are celebrating Easter. 

Today is the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad! The Lord was risen! He won the battle! Easter for me is the most important event in Christian life because it is the only proof that Jesus won! He overcame death, he descended from hell and now he is alive! Blessed are those who didn’t  see Him but believes! 

Verse today is one of God’s promises that he is accessible, present and attentive to those who seek Him sincerely, rather than through empty ritual. It emphasizes a personal relationship with a near God, requiring heartfelt, honest prayer rather than just spoken words.

This verse is used as encouragement for moments when one feels abandoned, ensuring God is listening even in dark times. It is commonly used as a reminder to approach God with honesty and sincerity, ensuring that worship is in spirit and in truth. Just when I remember and recalling that my own father owes me money and as I mentioned from my previous blog that he is unfair and doesn’t even care about me, he only sees me as an ‘ATM’, a ‘wallet’ or a ‘Financial aid’. My own biological father whom I care always, owed me ‘gamble money’. I didn’t even asked if he won or just emptied his pocket for a bet. God is the only JUST FATHER. God sees my pain, and hidden anger towards my dad. God only knows. And yes! He listens. God is not blind nor ignorant. He knows everything. As if He’s always telling me that I shouldn’t be angry, I don’t have any right to be mad. I should obey. Like why???? Why Lord!???

But this verse reminds me that God’s everlasting kingdom and caring nature. We can pray, cry out, seek, worship,  and invoke. God is accessible, intimate, close and attentive. We just need to approach God with honesty and sincerity. Speak from our hearts about our actual needs, rather than focusing on long, formal or shallow prayers. To Him, everything is just, fair and mutual.

God is merciful, slow to anger and full of steadfast love. We just need to approach him in whole humility and faith, rather than hypocrisy or vain repetition. 

God is love. Our true Father, even our own biological father is not perfect, God is the only perfect Father. Be always mindful about that. He always knows whats best for His children.

Easter is not about bunnies, eggs or sweets. Easter is about the Lord’s passion. A celebration of His love, his mission and his sacrifice. 

God bless us all!
