I believe

I am half-convinved that I am in the wrong industry. Am on the verge of turning down another job, when people like me should be scrambling and kissing feet for it. Aaaah... if it wasn't for conviction...

LP says I have way too many convictions. she reminds me that I have already turned down several lucrative offers because of my "convictions" - not allowing myself in situations that would threathen to compromise integrity, ie, bribing, underhand dealings, etc. Seriously, I hope I am not turning into a legalistic zealot. I do hope that at the end, it is God's righteousness that is shown forth. I hope that I am not making a mistake.

But I do believe that the Spirit works in our consciences and somehow, in His faithfulness God helps us despite of ourselves. I believe God will bring in the right jobs, the ones pleasing in His sight. I believe His blessings are the ones that carry no sorrow with them. I believe in Providence. And I believe, in the end, every single thing we do and every single thought (and the motivation behind them) will be brought to God face to face.

And I'd hate to be ashamed on that day.

Dear God, steady me in my decisions. Especially when the alternatives get very tempting.
