Moving towards expanding my horizons

Is this a new beginning for me?

I got a word that I will be moving to a different island for a new job. The job post/title/description is pretty much the same with the job experience that I had for years so I guess there's not much of an adjustment in that aspect. I am anxious though because I need to: 1) learn at least the basics of the dialect of the island, 2) adapt to cultural differences, 3) be brave and bold in spirit.

I am thankful to God for the opportunity and to my dear friend who was the instrument why the move will take place. I am a little panic-stricken but I know that I am big to face the challenges!

How does one start all over again?

2014 is about to end, it was one hell of an emotional ride to say the least. I was too stressed with BPO work that I quit without the security of another job thus I was jobless for months that I had to ask for my mother's assistance (much to the dismay of my aunts and uncles). I did find a new job though the salary wasn't the same at least I was able to pay the bills. That sums it all up. 2015 is near, now the question is, how do I start all over again? I guess I will start by praying and thanking the Lord for what was and what will be. I am praying that this year will be so much better. I am dreaming of travelling to other parts of the world, having a good paying, stable job which promotes work-life balance, and praying hard that love will find a way this time around. I also wish for peace and unity all around the world.

At the crossroads

I am so depressed. I believe that I do not deserve this kind of life. Almost every night I cry myself to sleep. I miss my husband and I know for a fact that I am still hoping that somehow he will have a change of heart. My good friend said that I should be open to having a new relationship and to finding the right guy who would love me and treat me right. Where do I find him?!?! Sigh! Plus, I need to have a better job with a better pay wherein I would feel happy and contented.

Reflection during Holy Week of 2012

2011 was a difficult time for me:
January 30, I found out that my husband is flirting (yet again) with another woman so I left their house and lived with my maternal grandparents.
My maternal grandfather passed away in June.
I lost my managerial job due to redundancy in November.
My husband filed for annulment last December.

It's only now that I realized how God is slowly leading me to the right path and that He is humbling me.
I am still hurting that my relationship with my husband didn't work out however it made me realize that I am fortunate enough to: experience how it is to love and be loved, be a part of the loving and happy Pargas family, know and feel that I have some family and friends who understands and loves me unconditionally, learn how to accept and ask forgiveness for my mistakes, ask help when I need it the most, and forgive those who have hurt me.
When my family lost Lolo B, we had a chance to have time with my uncles (who hasn't come home for a long time) to celebrate Lolo's life. I came to realize that life is too short thus I have to live a happy life with a purpose.
I might have lost a high-paying job but now I have one (I even thought that I wouldn't have the patience and experience to do it) with less pressure, better schedule and serves a higher purpose.

Thank you Lord for I am blessed.
