Samsung called me on Thursday and asked me to go for an interview in Seremban on Friday.
Surprisingly and unlike my normal self, I didn't think too much about it. I just asked them to send me an email and I'll get back to them. Of course when I received the call I already had a rough answer in mind but I just waited to be sure of my decision.
If the offer had come last month, I would have gone down to Seremban, because when I submitted my application letter my previous company had internal issues and I suspected that I'd need to find a new company. Furthermore that was the time when my friend who was working in BASF told me she tried to get a release letter from BASF but failed. I was disturbed by all that was happening and wanted to get a release from the scholarship bond.
However after few weeks of wrestling and struggling with God, I've come to the conclusion of trusting in God for once and to wait upon Him.
Talking about waiting upon God, I am reminded about how when I first came back I was asking my Christian friends how do they know, when faced with a tough situation, whether God wants them to persevere and wait upon Him or regard it as a closed door and turn away?
In my situation I thought probably I should persevere and hope that things will be better for the company. But God caused the whole thing to stop. I couldn't do anything even if I wanted to because the decision making lies with the company's president. Now I realized that it was a closed door.
Probably because of this recent past event, God is telling me to trust in Him. If he wants me to work in the public sector He will send the offer to me. If He wants me to remain in the corporate world, the offer will not come. Simple as that.
I posted my likely action in Facebook, but surprisingly (I didn't know it until I replied Samsung, but even if I read it my action wouldn't have changed) all my friends asked me to just go for the interview first and think later. Of course because it was in FB I didn't give too much of my Spiritual walk explanation but instead provided some secular reasons.
What I think I did right was that I had another Christian brother to pray with me on Thrusday night. Of course even that brother asked me to go to the interview first. But since I already know that I will feel guilty (for not trusting in God) if I pass the interview and accept the offer, why bother to go in the first place?
Though the view was different but the important thing was that we prayed about it. And interestingly the night before a prophetic preacher was praying for me and telling me about discernment. And I think she mentioned something like taking the narrow path or something (need to listen to the content again). What more appropriate timing.
Anyway like what I wrote in my FB status the next day:
" Most of the time I write all the terms and conditions and asked God to sign and approve. Probably now is the time I sign first and ask God to write in the terms and conditions.."
