I know most of you would probably think I'm not a natural sales character, but anyway I've got into this automotive sales industry. I work in Agincourt Mazda as a salesman now. I've started for about three weeks. Its been very tough since business is slow in the winter. Also, I think I've never taken such a big risk in my career path before. My salary is 100% commission based. No sales, no money. I've never been to a job where chances take such a big part of it. No matter how well my knowledge on the cars are, or how well my selling skills are, there's no guarantee on result. I guess sometimes, one got to step out of the comfort zone in order to grow, but I don't know if I've stepped out too far this time. I've never been so worried about my job. I think there are times when I'm about to collapse but God still showed me He's with me. However, it seems like He is watching me from a distance. He doesn't let me fall, but doesn't help me rise either. Everything seems so uncontrollable. I can feel how weak and vulnerable I am. I guess its a good opportunity to test on my faith to God.

I've to thank one of the sister in church for supporting me. After all these years in fellowship, I think I've forgotten how to pray or share with each other. We all think its impossible to have deep sharing in the middle of a crowded room, but she showed me its possible. When she suggested to pray together in the middle of the room, I was very surprised. Surprised because I've a flash of memory of how real fellowship should be, this is how fellowship was when I first came to this church. This is what I have missed or forgotten over the years. Thank you.
