This year, I'm turning 27 years old~
And I've had 3 years of working experiences
Very experienced?
Nop I guess not yet
Everyday I look at the mirror
I still feel I look 21 years old
Don't judge okay !
Just yesterday
I was playing ping pong with a random auntie
And she asked are you in JC? (Meaning A level, not even university WOOHOO haha)
I'm sorry I haven't receive such question for quite some time
Please allow me to feel proud for a while lolz
2015 has not been an easy year for me
But guess what I think that makes me even a better and stronger person!!!~
This is how God shapes a person isn't it
In less than half a year my last company closed down
While I still enjoying the honey moon period in a new company
Company underwent restructuring and my position was made redundant
WHATT?
Yes!!!! Totally unexpected!~~
31st July 2015
I think that day will be forever stored in my mind
I will never forget how my HR and my manager told me this news
Feelings?
Shocked, surprised, unexpected, extremely upset
First
HR told me company underwent restructuring and it has affected your employment ........
Then my manager tried to console me by telling me this wasn't performance based decision, because bla bla bla....I've fought for you but..... then he stopped
It was a dead silence in the room
Then I hold back my tears and I told him
"It's okay, I understand. I know you've tried. I can find another job"
Yea I was actually quite surprised that I can be so calm and I can actually listen to all they have to say
And I remember he continue
"I'm not worried you finding another job, your good at what your doing, your a great professional...... I'm sorry, I didn't even know what to say now."
Then it was another dead silence in the room
Then he continued "You can blame me, I'm really sorry."
But I know he really did his best to 'fight' for me
How could I blame him?
Immediately I felt holy spirit is comforting me by telling me that God has another plan for me
If this is not because of my performance
Then this job is not for me and God has intervened and bring me out of the company
I can feel its hard for him to tell me this news
That what makes me even more touched
And I couldn't hold my tears anymore
Then my another two supervisors bring me out for coffee to comfort me
That day I packed my things and left the company for good
I went back I cried until I had a bad headache
Now I look back
I thank them for their understanding that its really hard to continue to work after hearing such news
They just said leave whenever you feel like
They are a bunch of really nice bosses and colleagues
But I will submit to God's plan for me :)
Today I am still unemployed
But I'm less worried compared to last time
I took 2 weeks to mourn and I'm back!!!~~~
I know God is in charge of my life
I really want to thank God
Even my friends said I don't look like i was just being "sacked"
I look so relax and normal
I know it very clearly this calmness that i'm feeling right now is not from me
Not from my own strength
The old Xuan will depressed for few months i guess may be longer? Lolz
The Lord has pulled me through this hard time
He comforted me with His own word
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
Because He lives, I can stand tomorrow :)
