Through God’s grace: My second full time employment commitment with ABS-CBN
I have been so preoccupied with my career life for the past few months that I get to rarely write here. For one, I’ve been focusing most of my free time on sleeping (Nap time is so precious nowadays! Huhu). Another, I lost the desire to write for my blog again.
Anyway, I’m praying to come back on track for this month. I’m slowly grasping my new life aka my new work schedule, and I know it’s quite a while to get used to it. My body sometimes feels really tired with how my life cycle works nowadays and together with it is the feeling of sadness over me - “Why am I doing this? Why do I need to do this to myself?!” were some of the questions I was thinking when I’m feeling weary. What I can only do is to ask for the Lord to provide me the physical, emotional, and spiritual strength that I need.
It took me a longer way to go with this additional blessing from the Lord but truly, I have seen how faithful He is and how perfect His timing really is through my waiting process. You see, I’ve had numerous internal job applications at my current company, ABS-CBN, because I need to have an additional job to address my financial needs. As a breadwinner who sends her sister to college, my need to earn more is dire. I have bills to pay every month, I’m desperate to save for my future, and I have some wants and needs that I want to buy for myself. Most importantly, I want to be a blessing more to our church by blessing God through my tithes. My heart now desires to strictly observe giving tithes at church.
Through my devotions, I have witnessed how willing was the Lord to teach me the valuable lessons of waiting and at the same time, putting my full trust in Him. I’m not a perfect person, let alone a perfect Christian, but He knows what he’s doing in my life. He knows when to surprise me, which proves how He moves in His mysterious ways - and those ways are the ones which strengthen my faith.
Currently, I work for three jobs at ABS-CBN. I’m still one of MOR’s Digital Content Producers (praise God for He let the company add more DCPs like me because honestly, I really can’t balance the workload I had before), and now, I also write scripts for our radio drama, Dear MOR. Then, the Lord blessed me with my dream job in my dream industry - to be a writer and content manager for ABS-CBN Books. I work for NoInk, ABS-CBN’s multimedia reading and writing platform site. Basically, I have to read tons of stories, review them for publication, and write articles for the site. It’s something I absolutely love doing. If you know me well, you’d understand that reading books has molded me as a person and guided me with who I am today.
Just a back story: I originally applied for the Social Media Specialist post for Metro Magazine (another ABS-CBN Publication’s platform) but obviously, I didn’t get the job. The HR Officer who interviewed me then recommended me for NoInk (maybe she believed in my writing portfolio and writing credentials, lol), which was the gateway for me landing this job. I’m so amazed with how God was able to transform my failure into a greater victory. I cannot do anything without Him, and this experience just proves how much I need Him in my life.
At the end of each story I’m unfolding here, a single conclusion can be made: All glory and praises belong to Him, my Savior, the One who truly knows and recognizes what I need. Praise You, Jesus!
