A NEW BEGINNING!

In the past few days, I can say that I had a lot of dilemma in mind, dilemma that made me realize a lot of things to know myself better and the people around me. I went through a stage where I need to sacrifice some of my routinary work just to comply with my own comfort and happiness. I shifted myself from being a full time college instructor to a part time basis.

Financially I know it is hard for me considering that I am also financing my own allowance in and out of school in my Master's degree, but with the grace and love of God, slowly I am surviving...

but to ask if I have regrets of coming up with that decision? I think I just did what is best for me.I just followed my heart truly says...

I am supposed to come back to my field of work, which is in the accounting industry,there are great opportunities stored from me but I think they may not seem as enormous at the moment. I am trying to try a work that is outside academe. I miss my life facing the computer the whole day, cramming with deadlines of financial reports, and dealing with misunderstood clients, but it shows that it is not yet the time for me to do so...

I think my passion in teaching is still active, and gives me the eagerness to continue this vocation with the positive response and feedback that I often hear from
students and fellow colleagues.

In relation to this, another door has opened before me now,not in the private sector anymore but in the government sector... absolutely not in the office yet, but in the academe... what school is it? that is I think a secret for now,,, but it is a public university for the record. I just want to thank the school for giving me the opportunity to be able to impart my knowledge to their students. I appreciate the trust and warm welcome they showed and gave me during my first day. I am prayng ang hoping that good things has been set to me during the span of my stay... till when? until there is 1 young mind who still experiences hunger for wisdom. with that, Only time can tell.

OPENING PRAYER

This is an Opening Prayer I made for our class in Values Development in Government... Let us take a moment of silence as we read the prayer...

Our Dearest Heavenly Father, as this Saturday begins; we are gathered together as we ask for your holy name to guide us in every endeavour we take. We pray that your mighty power be our courage, your divine words be our comfort, your everlasting love be our strength and your lovingly touch be our protection.

St. Augustine once said that “to love is to go beyond ourselves and to fasten our affection upon an object of love.” I personally believe o Lord that you created us for a purpose, not to simply love ourselves but instead showing and extending our selfless love and care to others.

Help us O Lord to eradicate our anger, eliminate the feeling of hatred inside our hearts, and heal the wounds of pain that continuously taking us away from you.

And most of all, May the spirit of comradeship reign in the hearts and minds of every people in this world o Lord regardless of differences in races, gender, religion and faith.

We ask this in the intercession of your name o Lord.

Amen
