First Day of Work
It's the night before my first day at work. And there are some jitters.
I guess it's all to be expected. I not sure what the job will be like. But I do hope for a sense of delight in the work that I do. And most importantly a sense of contentment. I know to a large extent I'll be underpaid in this job compared to many of my peers. Blame it on poor timing I guess. I signed the contract way before the pay restructuring. But yet there is this inertia to apply for another job elsewhere.
The inertia is hugely because I know that in my prayers and considerations I am certain that this is the right place to be. That God, in His perfect providence, has opened this door for me. And though I cannot fathom the reasons behind it, and the "pay cut" irks me a great deal; I have purposed in my heart to give this a shot at least till the end of my probation, which is 6 months long.
I know that in this journey of life, His ways have always been far beyond mine. And that which He has provided has always been perfect for me. And more often than not, it has bee surprisingly more than adequate. My heart on the other hand, has been the wanderer and dreamer discontented with what I already have.
Godliness with contentment is great gain (1 Tim 6:6). And so I pray for a heart of contentment and see what this new calling has in store for me.
