I have many dreams that I want to pursue. It has always been my dream to work abroad. My dream to work abroad stemmed from circumstances & childhood dream.
Six months ago, I received an e-mail from an online recruitment agency. They told me that I have been pre-selected to work as Ultrasound Technologist in Saudi Arabia. I will be working for a well-known private hospital. Yipeee! I got really excited. =)
I went to the agency and gave them all the necessary documents. After going through a long and difficult interview procedure, I got the contract offer. I underwent a thorough medical examination including x-rays, urinalysis...all kinds of tests. In a span of one and a half month, I've completed the requirements and I'm ready to go! They told me to wait for the release of my working visa. Then weeks passed, I did not receive any call or text message. So, I called and spoke with the secretary, and was told to wait for the employer advice. I waited and waited, and the working visa did not come through. I personally went to the agency to ask about the job offered to me. They told me to wait for the employer advice. Again?!? As usual, I agreed to wait for their call probably by next week or the week after next week. But two months passed, they grew silent. Silence for the past 2 months made me anxious. I made several visits to the recruitment agency. They were giving me the same reason for the past six months.
I should have realized then, I don't have potential work abroad just yet. I decided to pull out my documents & retract the job offer. I just grew tired of it. I think I've had enough already. I have waited six long months without a definite answer. Since I need a job overseas, I can't wait for them to make up their minds and lose other potential jobs. =(
I've realized that my dream of working abroad remains to be an elusive dream. And yes, I've gone through really tough times because of that dream. Tough times will always be there, and yet I never question God. I believe that one should never question God's will. I learned from my failures and become a stronger & better person. I even read an article that says "Failure is not God's rejection but God's redirection." =)
It is by prayer that I seek God's guidance. I am keeping my faith in God. I know God has a wonderful plan for my life. God cares for me in the best way. God will direct me in the best road. God will never leave me empty. It is so wonderful to have such wonderful God! =)
Now, everything is slowly but surely falling into place... *keeping my fingers crossed*
I am so excited to see where my life is going to take me. Life is a journey, indeed!
"For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it."~ Matthew 7:14
