Leap of Faith

I never thought that it would come to this... me not having a regular work anymore... me freelancing... at this stage in my life, who'd have thought that I'd go freelancing for the second time?  The first time was when I was in between jobs (it's the time after I resigned from Caballero Worldwide Partners and before I got into Digitel) and had to reconnect with people who'd give me work.  I think I was a consultant for Commerce Advertising that time and another small agency in Binondo (I think it was ESP Advertising).  There were other writing jobs for me as well.  Freelancing that time was financially rewarding.  But the security isn't there.  I mean, the usual perks that one gets when he's a regular employee, like health coverage, bonuses, etc.  I guess that's the price I have to pay by going freelance.  I did it before.  But I was so much younger then.  And I knew that God took care of me for two years while I was doing freelance work. 

And now that I am 40, I really thought that I was going to live the life!  I mean life begins at 40, right?  And what a way to start the year 2010 by having a new job, a bigger salary and a new workplace?  Boy, was I ever wrong!  What started as a dream job became a nightmare.  Sure, I had a boss who was kind.  But kindness isn't just the stuff great bosses are made of.  To make a long story short, so many work got bogged down because my boss wasn't too quick enough to act on them.  Bottomline?  The people under her (including me) got the brunt of all the flak she is taking from her superior.  Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbled. I just had to get out of that place! 

And so I did.  Leap of faith.  While I'm still looking for the workplace where I can say I would really belong, God has blessed me with work to tide me over.  Sure, I am earning.  But not as big as before.  I believe that God will sustain me.  After all, He is our Father... the great Provider.
