Mr. Eugene

Yes! I have left the army. It is now Mr. Eugene and not CPL Eugene. Time to ask God what is the next step, time to seek His divine guidance. In doing so I asked myself a few questions, how did I get to where I am? How did God guide me here, to this point in my life? I couldn't come up with the answer. It is trail and error? Am I complying with His plan in my life? Questions I lost a good amount of sleep over.

Well I don't have a technical answer, but there is an experience I think I should share. I had a lot of difficulty in my job hunt, not that there were no jobs, the economy is booming and everybody is hiring. The difficulty I had was this, I felt that I really had to factor God in the decisions I was making. I went for quite a few job interviews and there were even some who tried to hire me on the spot. The pay, benefits and hours were good but something felt wrong.

But there was this one interview I went to where everything felt right. It is a small company with a small staff, it will hardly make a blip on Singapore's GDP. Although it is a sucessful company holding its own but it will hardly turnover the billions of dollars like the MNCs of the world does. Whats more, there was also nothing remarkable about the time I spent there for the interview, no burning bush to tell me, "THOU SHALL WORK IN THIS COMPANY!" nothing, save this feeling and urging in my heart to accept the position.

But being human, I held out for better offers not wanting to shortchange myself and better offers came. Had I not factored God into my decision I might have gone for those offers, but something held me back. Since I accepted the position I sense this peace, there is something in my heart telling me that I have made the right choice. Although I am no closer to finding out how God guides me through my life I know for certain that in this particular situation He did guide me to make the right choice.
