I have taken a week off from work. Although I had a lot of free time, but I seemed to be really tired all the time and a little lost in my life. I am still quite lost in my career search, still lost in my spiritual path, still lost somewhere...
I was discussing about our fellowship's bible verse with a few B&S over the weekend. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6" Someone questioned if we should change our bible verse every year to make B&S to remember God's word instead of just reciting every week without actually thinking about what it means. I have to admit that I don't think about the verse very often. I do recite the words deadly every week.
In the first year of Galilee fellowship, they picked this verse because a lot of the B&S are in the early stage of their career. A lot of them are hunting for jobs or still searching for opportunity to switch to a better job. We needed to rely on God and put our faith to the test. Now that our life stages are starting to change. Most of us already have a decent/acceptable job and focusing on different part of our life. Some of us might be starting to drift away from God as we start to rely more and more on ourselves. No matter what life stage we're at, I think this bible verse will still apply. So why change it?
I've been trying to change my career for the past few months. I have done my research, I have finish a course and also got my license. It seemed to me that God was taking care of everything. I trust that God will provide if I just follow his path. I even took up some serving at church because I have faith that God will give me a job that won't affect my serving at church. Now that I started to hunt for my new job, nothing is as smooth as before. It doesn't seems to be that easy after all. I'm starting to lose my faith. I'm starting to question if this is really the path God wants me to take. Did I really trust in Him with all my heart and not lean on myself? Did I acknowledge Him enough in my job search? Please pray for me.

We will definitely pray for you. Don't lose faith in God. Career is a long long long path...imagine, if you retire at 60, you still have 40 years to work. There will always be time you are tired, frustrated, and lose direction. At one point, I was so frustrated working at Rogers, I was just doing photocopying for weeks. I always asked myself, I worked so hard for my study, why am I here doing photocopy, days after days? I started searching for job again, I been through at least 8 job hunters, 15 or more interviews. But when God opened his path, I got the job right after the interview. When you do your best, just rely on God to do the rest.
I also agree that we don't need to change the bible verse coz it does apply to us in any stage of our life.
about ur career. pray for u man ;)
