I’m sitting here in the office and I just can’t wait to go home. I yearn to be just sitting on the sofa, watching TV and spending some time with my husband. I miss relaxing these days. The past few weeks have been a bit hectic for me, not to mention this week! Yup, I would have to accomplish a lot of things inside and outside work. But I know all the hard work would pay. This would end soon, and I’d have time to just curl up in my bed and do nothing all day. I would just have to wait for this week to end!
Truly as they say, “When it rains, it pours.” I don’t mean to be ungrateful. In fact I am!I thank God for all the blessings he has showered upon me – for the opportunities he has opened for me, especially in my career. Aside from the fact that my husband and I are having a baby soon, God has also been great to open new doors for my career. But the thing is, I’m torn and I don’t know which decision to make. One door offers me a very wide array of professional experience, which includes being migrated abroad and meeting people of different cultures. Not to mention, it would enhance my profession as a Certified Public Accountant and also develop my business dealing skills. Not only would I practice my profession, it would also allow me to see the broader side of managing people and a business. But this door would also keep me from seeing my baby every day. It would require me to live far from the province and maybe just go home once, twice, or thrice every two months. That is not even an assurance if I could go home that often. Now that is difficult, especially if it would mean being far from my family – especially from my first baby. The other door also presents an enticing opportunity. Just as the other door, it also offers me to practice my profession in its truest sense, yet not much on migrating abroad and dealing with different cultures. It does offer the opportunity, but not like the first door. But this door would enable me to be with my family and permit me to take care of my baby. It would enable me to be with my child and be a mother in the fullest logic of being one.
That is my dilemma now. Which door should I pick? I know God has planned all these for me. All I have to do is pick the right way to the road he has prepared for me. May he grant me wisdom, especially in my current circumstance.
Dear God, please grant me wisdom in choosing what’s best, not just for me, but also for my family. I offer everything to you. Thank you so much!
