Got laid off today

I got laid off today!

Personally, I think God is very funny. Only a few days ago, I dedicated my life to serve God full time in Chicago. So for the past few days, I've been asking God a simple question - now that I have dedicated my life to serve You, where am I to go now and what am I to do now. I was still working as a trial consultant this morning so I had no idea what, where, when and how I was going to walk this unique path that God has made for me.

Actually, this whole thing is funny. I still remembered kind of smiling when my boss Dave Weinberg told me that I was being laid off. I was smiling because I can see His mighty hands moving. I was smiling because I know that God, Himself is doing things in my life right now.

To say that I was not upset or mad, I'd be lying. I was mad and I was very upset. I started to cry so I called up Alfred, Maria (my sister), Joanna (my friend), Patrick (my little bro), Patrick Fung (my anchor) and Jacky (my angle). Alfred was shocked when he learned of my laid off. Maria was surprised that I was laid off but was happy that I was finally free from a not-too-ideal work environment. Joanna asked me to give her my updated resume so that she can help me find my next best job. Patrick said he'll pray for me and encouraged me not to be sad. My anchor asked me to start thinking about re-writing my ACM USA proposal. My angle bought another angle to cheer me up. Later on, I received phone calls from Janet, Elaine, Patrick, Joanna, Janet (my counselor) and emails from Alfred and Maggie.

God is good to me because I am so loved. He's bought me angles to support, encourage, cheer and pray for me.

Finally, I told my parents about me being laid off. Mom was very concern about how I feel. Dad was funny coz he just said that I should take this opportunity to take classes at a local seminary to get my degree in ministry.

God is good.... All the time!

To God be the glory!
