A ride of gratitude.

After ending 2012 with my success for attaining an honours degree, it signifies another new season in my life. But somehow 2013 seemed to be filled with curiosity and endless uncertainties. 

It has been two long months ever since I've started to apply jobs. Had two interviews yet unsuccessful. Frankly, I have started job hunting earlier than other people- visiting relevant hospitals and labs, sending countless resumes to possible employers, applying for lab jobs through websites, and of course, checking emails and sites day by day. It seemed to be a new 'job' for me, very very routine stuffs you see. 

As time goes by, it bypassed my time frame limit for lab jobs search, which was end of 2012. Ever since then I widened my scope of job, literally any job. Unfortunately it is such a not-on-spot timing to even beg for a waitress job at this brand new start of 2013.  I guess I have printed about 35 resumes to be handed in shopping malls, applied for about ?20 laboratory jobs through online. I could have forged myself to apply more possible jobs. I think I have tried my very best.

Looking at my diminishing bank account, I could imagine people living in a day by day basis. Well not to exaggerate, it is not the end of the world (yet) but still, it's definitely out of my own comfort zone. I can no longer be tied in my mum's apron strings or hide under my daddy's wings. It is time for me to shift  instead of staying stagnant. 

Hence, with God's calling, I accepted this temporary job at New Zealand Natural. It sounds 'ok' to scoop some ice cream and make some juices for a temporary living..... well with 8 bucks per hour for a start. (Heck) Indeed 8 dollars. I was grumbling at first yet it is something to celebrate. God must be testing my patience and blessing me with this short term chance. Nevertheless, I can pay my rent and a lil bit of meals at this point. Tomorrow is going to be a new start and I have to say, thank God. 

Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Putting away my ego, I'll accept it. I'll work hard for possible gates open along the way. :)
