a righteous return

after much consideration, i have decided to return to manpower..this, despite my initial skepticism and a hope that something with singtel may work out (oh yeah, i finally made contact with their hr department after like over 50 resumes of trying! and yes it actually exists! was quite tempted to plant a flag in their office when i was there for my interview!). i know all this may just turn out to be a political ploy and that i am just a missing piece on the chessboard..but my conscience is clear and i trust God to do the right thing for me.

my initial worries stemmed from a concern that my return will definitely spell the end for another person and from an arrogance that i was better than her. then i realised that i was wrong on both counts. firstly, my return has nothing to do with this other person and my being there does not mean for sure that she is doomed; if she is good and wishes to stay, no one can make her leave. secondly, i do not know her well enough to judge if i am indeed better; everything i have heard about her is from others.

now regarding my return, some people may say this is a will of God and others may ask, how do you know? well, this i say to you, "God will always provide..He provides options when we need them and He provides answers when we ask." God shows the way but the choice is always ultimately our own.

the Lord is my shepherd, i shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
- Psalm 23:1-3
