A Note of Thanks...
The things I went through in the past few days or even weeks were not easy - physically, mentally and most importantly, emotionally. I never thought that leaving my previous company would be "disastrous" and "traumatic", shall I say. I opt not to discuss in detail everything that took place since I filed my resignation simply because they are so painful to remember and re-narrating them just brings back bad memories. I think it's better to just let go of them. After all, I already consider my experience in that company a closed chapter of my life.

I'm writing this entry not to refresh myself of that horrible experience but to remind me how gracious and merciful God was to me when I was going through all those difficulties. It was even more intense and heartfelt at that point when I felt like I was demoralized. God made me realize I wasn't alone. He was there. He never left my side. He never abandoned me. My brother who was the first one I talked to after what happened and whom God used to strengthen me at that particular point in time was there. My friends who patiently listened and comforted me when I was down were there. Yes, God truly reveals Himself in circumstances we badly need Him.

And so, from the deepest of my heart, these words of heartfelt thanks go to the people who served as God's instruments to uplift my weakening spirit and to my Lord Himself whose mere presence I found so relieving...

...thank you, Diko, for encouraging me to overcome my intense emotion. I really cried after our conversation over the phone.
...thank you, Ate Tin, Jeff and Gilbert, for a night spent listening and lifting me up.
...thank you, Joey, for reassuring me that things will be alright soon.
...thank You, Lord, for everything that You've done.

Now, I'm beginning a new chapter of my life with a new work, a new company, a new environment. I hope and pray that God's grace and mercy will continually be upon me as I go on with this journey He has set for me.
