Hi Readers!
I hope that you are doing well or at least hanging on well
there! Okay, so I would like to write this page because I am overwhelmed by how
God’s work is. I’ve been working in this company for around 4 years, right
after I graduated. I am someone who cannot stay or do the same things, repeatedly
for a very long time. I actually get bored easily. So, for my career, I also
felt the same. Moreover, after the pandemic began, I only stayed in the office because
usually, I have some business trips that will break the routines yeah.
I told God and asked for a breakthrough because I want to
learn something new, I felt quite in a stagnant stage and bored. Finding a new
job is not that easy, right? During waiting for something new, I also
prepared myself by joining some online courses and others. I told myself to
keep hanging and be grateful that I still can work, and keep trying to do what I can
do.
As a business strategy, since 2020, my company trimmed some
staff, they said, to make the organization structure to be more efficient. Actually,
I also prepared myself for the worst case.
At the end of 2021, I joined a tender that I was really
serious about it and put lots of effort into because the amount was quite much
compared to my other proposals during the pandemic. But, I lost it for a quite
heart-broken reason that was not because of our mistake. I was sad actually.
But, miraculously, after this loss, one day I was called to the meeting room by
the boss & the HR manager. They told me that they’d like to give me more
responsibility by promoting me to a new career level. On that day, I was surprised. I did not expect
or want anything like that because I thought that that new career level in this
company was quite impossible. I know that this was God’s answer to me at this
time and He’s showing me His way in my life. When people get you down, He will
raise you up. During all these waiting times, He taught me to have endurance and
patience in waiting. He did hear my prayers and once again, He prepared the
best answer at the best time.
I am thankful to get a new experience and meet new teammate
that is extremely doing well.
Then, I met this bible verse in an Instagram post, and I’d
like to share it with you.
Exodus 9:16 NIV, “But I have raised you up for this very
purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in
all the earth.”
He’s showing me many of His wonderful works in my life. Again, after I received God as my savior, He always took me to a better version of myself. When I entered university, I prayed to Him that I would like to give my school life to him, and He let me finish 3 years of Undergraduate Program with cumlaude even when I joined a laboratory that was seen as not a promising laboratory at that time by students. He let me get a job after that. He let me get a scholarship for the Graduate Program that I dreamt of, even when I only applied for 1 application at that time. He let me get 1st rank and got an award during graduation. He gave me a job one day before my birthday. Then, I also prayed to Him that I will give dedicate my job to Him. He let received awards that have never been available in the year before in my company. And now, he let me receive an experience of the new responsibility. I know that there are many more people with more wonderful life experiences out there. But, I just want to share that I am really grateful that I have God in my life through the surprises that He has prepared for me. Each of us may have a different life story. But, He never fails us. He wants to bring us to a better version of ourselves, to fulfill His plan for us, to be a HIS-story maker. I cannot be until today if not because of God. All the glory & honor for God, let His name be lifted up upon my life.
For you who have a prayer to God and you still do not get the
answer, or did not know yet what is the answer, I believe that you need to keep
praying until He will reveal His way, His answer, I believe that is far
better than your own scenario, far better than what you wished for.
