Taking A Big Step

Monday, August 14, 2006

I am saying goodbye to my job on the 23rd. It has been five years that I've been with the company. So much has happened, both good and challenging, which made me who I am today. Jec and I prayed and discussed things through and finally decided that I concentrate on the business we just started recently. Although it made me feel bad leaving behind some friends and the work that I've been so used to, this move is definitely for our advancement. Yeah, bittersweet, you can call it that. It's a big step I'm taking and we're going out of our comfort zone, trusting God for His blessings and provisions. We've received help from people we haven't met in person and we're determined to make this work so we could help others, in return, as well. God has blessed us in so many ways and we'd like to bless others too.

Another sad side of this story is, since I need to focus first on our newly opened business, my blogging will have to take a backseat for a while. That means I won't be able to go visit your sites as well... so sad. I really need to do this and I hope you'd understand. I'll sure miss all of you. I hope to see you again when I come back.

God bless y'all. You'll be in my prayers. Till next time... c",)

Very good news.

Always look for advancement and never loose hope. As God feed the hungry birds everyday ask God to boost your business and to help other people to find jobs for them.

Go ahead Pia and Jec and I wish you all the best.
