It isn’t you, It's God

It isn’t you, It's God.

We, from BPO industry, whether we work as a manager, trainer, QA, supervisor or an agent --- who employed us in our position?

Some of us might say that we selected this, and that we deserve our promotion, and the company where we belong was our choice. But some would say that we're here because of our friends, or there's a better proposal, or our bosses assigned us on this site that we're not given an option though it's far from where we live.

Though we think this way, the truth is, God has a reason why we are placed where we are right now. Even our schedules, God just uses our workforce/FA, but God plots our RD and God approves our VLs.

Take time to read the book of Esther. Out of all the beautiful, young women, King Xerxes chose Esther to be her queen. Everything that happened in the palace was designed by God. From the moment that the guards intended to assassinate the king, which was found out by Mordecai, Esther's uncle. Mordecai, the Jew, proved his loyalty to King Xerxes by revealing the guards' plan to kill him.

Until some time, King Xerxes appointed Hamman, making him the most powerful official in the empire. As Mordecai refused to bow down his head for Hamman, the latter, out of too much pride and anger, issued a law --- that ALL Jews must be slaughtered.

Esther, though she's already a queen, was still frightened to talk to the king regarding her uncle and other Jews' situation. Mordecai told her, "If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows, perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14)

Esther then decided to approach King Xerxes. After she told him of her petition to spare the lives of all Jews, in just a snap, everything turned upside down --- King Xerxes honored Mordecai for his loyalty, he gave order to kill Hamman, all the latter's power and properties were given to Mordecai, and Mordecai proclaimed a law against Hamman's, that Jews were able to defend themselves against those who tried to kill them.

God has His purpose why we are laid in our situation. If we disregard our calling, God will pick up someone else. Just like Esther, if she kept her silence and did nothing, God will appoint someone else to save the Jews. But isn't it wonderful to be part of God's plan and be used for his glory? Don't we want to gratify God and be His instrument?

We are not the one who picks our jobs, or the company/campaign where we are, who our peers or bosses will be. God plans everything for us. God has a plan for you and HE WANTS TO USE  YOU!

Birthday Gift for Beging

Do you guys remember Beging? She’s my sister. She is currently studying in ICCT College. I and Beging are best of friends. We share problems, secrets and we were partners in crime (that was before we became Christians; now we go to church together regularly).   I love the fact that she listens to me and she listens to God’s word every Sunday. Most of the things that I was telling my sister are indeed hard to accept, but she tries her very best. “Hupotasso” is one of the hardest lessons for her, I guess, because it’s very hard for me too --- yet we’re both trying our best.   Moving on, before Christmas, I kept praying for God to give me the ability to buy Beging a router. She needs it for her study. In fact, that prayer is written in my prayer notebook multiple times.    Jesus really is a faithful God and He will never leave me hanging with no answer. I was not worried when I pray for something lately. I cling to God'...

SIN is...

I like this, "command was an opportunity to trust God, obey God." We can't tell someone is obedient if there is no command to obey. How does this connect with "the Fall". Eve's decision to listen to the serpent and Adam's willful act of conniving with his wife separated the whole humanity to God. And separation from God is "death". The Fall clearly defines 'sin' as great chasm between God and humanity. At present times, sin is classified as to either small or big, either deadly or not. Sin is sin no matter what. Even simple idleness is sin. I wonder what Eve and Adam were doing and how come the serpent had his chance of speaking to them. They should be busy caring for the garden. However, I have no means of proving myself right that indeed they were idle that's why Satan had his foothold. But I strongly believe that we should make our time worthy of God's trust with the tasks He appointed us. That way, satan won't h...

Morning Light's 1st Ever CHRISTmas Party

Morning Light 1 st  Ever CHRISTmas Party Date: December 20, 2013 ( 09:15 AM ) This is going to be our first CHRISTmas party ever, and I’m soooo excited. I remember TL Pep told me, “Whenever it's possible, always spell out Christmas completely, because it's all about Christ!” Last week’s message was regarding celebrating Christmas the way it should be celebrated, and the reason why we really have CHRISTmas is because our savior was born --- so why should we remove CHRIST from it? Makes sense, I shared TL Pep’s advice to my friends. Pastor Manny led us. He requested us to bring food good for everyone. We, from Convergys and those residing in Manggahan Rd decided to bring Pancit, Lumpiang Shanghai and Siomai. Randy is our cook, as always. I and Randy thought of having exchange gift. Since it’s a very very late notice, we’re not expecting everyone to bring their gifts. It’s only worth 100PHP. We’re planning to have “agawan gift” --- TL Pep’s idea, lols. Convergys g...
