the unexpected

I would never have imagined that I would work elsewhere, in another company. I gave myself two more years so maybe i'll get the five years award. Hehe. Two days back, I signed the contract with a company I have never imagined I would go to. But there's so much life and purpose when I looked back now.
It happened from a thought. Spurred by my compulsive buying of my cheap air ticket to aust for 3 weeks in April. Afterwhich, I regretted not because i don't wish to go that long but I would have finished up my leave and i'll not get to travel anymore for the rest of the year. After going hong kong this year & staying with my toddler whom i've taken care since she was a baby..i love the place. It was like a resort=) I 'vowed' to go there once a year until they get transfer again.
There was a strong desire to change. At the same time, god was painting dreams and vision in my heart. I just felt that the season in my current place has ended. I cried when I had to tell my boss this news. I'm still not prepared to move, But I know I had to. The 3 months notice is somewhat good.
It wasn't a decision that was easy to make. I didn't want to be double minded too. But the most amazing thing happened. The day I sent out my resume, was the day my school had an off day. I went to Paper Market at Raffles City and bum into my 2 ex principal from Pat's Schoolhouse at the same time! And we were there separately. One of which was someone I highly esteem. Someone I love very much and caught much from. I've never met someone like her. She took me out for tea & shopping at Paragon the first week I started work=) Met her 4 kids & husband and eversince i'm always inspired to be like her.
She asked if I wanted to have a chat over tea. I brought out this topic. I wanted to hear from her. She is the person I would love to hear from. She gave me the 'green light'. And I know it can only be god that I bum into her.
Cut the story short. I went for 2 interviews. One I liked very much. Prayed to god to close the door which was not for me.
I got the second one. The one I feel ok. The one that I didn't have much intention to join. The one that gave me the salary I asked for. 33% more than what i'm getting and thought they'll lower but didn't. The one that people go thru few rounds of interview & have difficulty getting in but he accepted me on the first interview? And he is fine with me joining in May aft my aust trip.
Everything just went so smoothly. I hardly try.
The benefit : 35days leave, I only work till 4pm, I have an assistant in class.
What attracted me most is the number of days leave! =) I get to go home more & travel.
And hopefully to Israel next Christmas...
Every decision is a process. What seems best to me at first, may not be the best for me. I thank god he closes a door and open another which he thinks is best for me. When it's from the Lord, it'll be smooth and easy.
The joy I have now for the school I thought I'll not like is greater that the wish I have for the school I wanted. He knows best.
