God's Plan for Me

I am currently working as a customer care specialist. Part of my job is to deal with client complaints through investigation, root cause analysis and recommendations based on analysis. Recommendations may or may not be approved by the company. One of my tasks is to inform the client of whatever decision the company has reached regarding the complaint the client filed. Not an easy task, really. Right now, I am waiting for the results of my application for the position of a business development specialist in our company's Direct Marketing Unit under Accident & Health Department. It's been a month since I submitted my letter of intent and my updated resume. So far, I haven't heard from HR but I've been tipped to spruce up by putting on makeup and doing something with my hair. It's a marketing job after all.



In February, I also applied at UP's Filipino Department for a M.A. degree in Malikhaing Pagsulat. I haven't heard from UP either. I am assailed by doubts. Maybe I'm not that good after all.

I am also having trouble with my only daughter. I don't know what to do with her anymore. She has become wayward. No amount of exhortation, scolding or threats has gotten to her. Because of her, I have begun to question if I had been right in insisting that my children should be together and not even thinking of adoption for anyone of them as an option when I broke up with my abusive husband. I never thought that a child should be anywhere else except with her mother, her parents.

In the midst of all these trials and uncertainties, I choose to turn to God, believing in his plans for me. I may not understand why these things happen to me but he does.

Proverbs 3:5-8
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.

Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and turn away from evil.

It will be healing to your body
And refreshment to your bones.
