Mullings by a Yellow Brick Road...
You know you've come to a point when you're already fed up of being in one place for a long time, when you just wanna give it all up and leave..
I've been in the IT industry for 8 years now, and I must say as lucrative and progressive as it appeared back then.. it has lost it's lustre..
Over the past 5 years of trying to find my footing and trying to get back into a particular segment of this industry.. I find myself back in it.. but yet.. jaded... It has been a disappointment..
I sit at the side of my yellowbrick road, and wonder where it will take me.
I sit and I ponder.. and I seek direction not to the Wizard of Oz.. but from my God Almighty..
It has not been a good start to me this year, but yet, I sense I am asked to continue to work hard thru this phase, and equip myself for the next phase that He will bring me into.
Do pray along with me..
Update: The direction is still at crossroads.. and it's pointing in a direction I feel comfortable with it.. but it's not a road I would've thought I'd be taking 5 years ago. Still in due consideration of my resume's goals 5 years ago.. it had the essense of it....
The door's open, and I believe it's wide.. and it would mean some restrictions to the luxuries of life, but it would be picking up where I left off 6 months ago.
I've had a lot of promptings in my life in the past 2-3 weeks. Trials & Tribulations force me think and reflect on what I am really supposed to do. It's a tough time to be reckoning all these things.
And I am very critical of myself, I take things really hard.... It's a tough decision, yet so easy to take... but I shall choose a life that will lead to happiness & joy & blessedness...
I Thank My Lord & My God for being with me all these years.. :)
