In addition, now that only a year and a half remains for my bond, i am thinking about what to do after that. Should i continue in my present capacity or move somewhere else? A few things i have been thinking of... Rather wanted to do a short stint of a few months teaching English in another country. Thought of Thailand actually. For a while, i thought of taking tuition as a full-time job. But that was when i supposed i'd be settling down eventually. Don't think tho that this will happen in the near future, so am looking further now. As in across the seas to other countries. Heh.
Thought also of changing lines. Slightly. Do counselling or something. But that would require more studying and possibly cash. Sigh. Always wanted to work in the medical field actually. Not sure if i have the tenacity to go thru with this path tho. Would need lotsa patience, determination, diligence, and well, cash.
I guess i should really start praying about this. Time passes real fast, as we all know by now. What would really be scary is to find ourselves with the same ole sickening feeling we get at the end of a year sometimes. The feeling that we've achieved nothing of worth and lived unfulfilled and meaningless lives, filled only with enjoyment, leisure, regrets and sin. Need to be more evaluative of my life and more reliant on God's mercy and power. Need to trust that God has a purpose for what I go through and for my life. Need to remember that i am a child of God.
16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Need to fix my eyes on what is unseen and eternal. Need to see problems in its true light. Need to renew myself day by day. Need God.
