Turning Points Ahead
May 3, 2008 Leave a comment
I have a love-hate relationship with "mid-year" (Apr-Jun). It is always the season when I put myself in real difficult situations. Often, I was compelled to make decisions that were double-edged (with pro and con outcome). There were sacrifices made, but overall, I often made decision to benefit "the biggerr picture". Sigh, that means, it may not be a decision that benefit me.
In exactly 1 week time, I will be celebrating my 2nd Anniversary in China. 2 years ago (this time), I made a difficult-but-wise "turning point" to Shanghai (after making that painful decision to give up my comfortable seat in Caffeine), I am now facing another difficult call. This time, the stake is even bigger and I am not sure if I want to continue my quest. In the next 2 weeks, I will certainly reveal the final answers.
For those who know what I am talking, do pray for me. I had a good friend who once said to me "God has a Mission for you to do in China. You will never know how long you will be there – as long as He needs you to finish the Mission". It was a good encouraging note – one which gave me a sense of accomplishment. Haaa… to date, I still have no idea on what that "mission" was – except playing good tour guides for all my 50 visitors. Still, it’s good faith that keeps me going no matter where I am or what I do.
Being an aspired leader, I hate to admit I am a little confused this time. I am happy with the ship I captained. I haven’t let my crew down and I have brought them to good shores. I just have no idea where I want to go next. How I wish I have that "Black Pearl" – which can guide me to where my heart desires. Not my head’s and certainly not my pay-masters’.
Another 14 stressful and dreadful days to go. This is going to be a tough period for me. May-June is extremely busy months for me…and I have to opt my next "turning point". I affected many people when I made the last big decision 2 years ago. This time, it is not going to be easy. Anyone, care to flip coin with me? Head or tail?
Anyway, I am dumping my problem to Him. It is His responsibility to ensure I succeed. Meanwhile, I am packing to HK and Singapore.
See you folks in less than 5 days!
