God is faithful to His promise

"And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you shall recieve" -Matthew 21:22 (NIV)

A while ago, will having my daily call of nature at our office's men's room, my fulfilled dreams of having this present job suddenly came into my mind. Truely, God had and is continuously working marvelously.

I came to this verse one time I am scanning channels on our TV one wednesday night. That was the time I had graduated and seriously seeking a job. It was Kerygma TV's (of Bo Sanchez) topic for that night. Right there, I made myself confident that He will soon answer my prayer. And yes He did. He gave me Air Liquide.

But my work for Air Liquide is not what I really dremt of when I was still in college.

I dream of working in an office environment, wearing corporate attire, with my own work station on a building high enough to have a good view of the city. But he gave me a job inside a process plant, with a longsleeved shirt that gets dirty everytime, and my work station - the entire plant - is as hot as having sunbathing for 8 hours, not to mention that I even had work during Christmas, New Year, and all the holidays you can think about.

I also had dremt of travelling abroad for a business trip -Germany, Singapore, Japan.

But now I realize, it's just His preparation for something big - my dreams are starting to realize.

After 1.5 years, I landed a job at JGC, and this is where He told me, this is your dream come true.

My present work is an office based Engineering Procurement Construction Management (EPC) work. That means going in an office (in a business park in Ayala-Alabang) while wearing polo and slacks, have my own workstation located at the 8th floor of the building. Wow! this is it! Not to mention, I am not forced to go to office during holidays, no night shift. And the best part, they are giving opportunity for young engineers, like me, to work at the head office in Yokohama for a couple of months or years for additional training at the company's own expenses.

And I would say I wouldn't be landing on this job without my experience in a process plant.

Now's the realization, I prayed, I believed, and now I recieved.

Altough I waited for 1.5 years, I was patient so He turned to me and heard my cry. (Psalms 40:1) He truely is faithful to His promise! (Psalms 145:13)
