The “Perfect” Workplace
Sometimes it is hard to wake up early everyday when all that’s waiting for you in the office is unhappiness and stress. This testimony is a continuation of our friend’s search for her purpose in her workplace, and how her supposedly “dream job” was not so perfect after all.
I wondered why God put me here in this workplace. Although I thought this place was better than where I was previously, I soon realized that I was fooled by what I didn’t know. Isn’t it funny how “human” we are?

When God opened this door of opportunity, I was so excited! I felt like I was finally released from four years of unhappiness at the workplace. I started working for this company with a clean slate and an ambition that I forgot I had. It *seemed* like a dream come true – *au contraire!* As I started working for this company, I soon realized that my supposed “dream” involved a lot of things I was trying to avoid. I took a step back and asked God to show me why I was here – it must’ve been a few weeks before He revealed it to me.
better to work under him than someone optimistic right? Ha!
I am so thankful that God blessed me with someone who just made sense as my boss. What was even more surprising was that he brought up the topic of faith in the first week of the job when I have not mentioned anything about my beliefs. Was it Jesus he saw in me? Maybe. Throughout his work experience, he somehow managed to be in charge of a mob of people who dislike him. “Weird”, I thought, because he is seriously the most hard-working, realistic and honest person, in my opinion.
Can I just tell you how rough of a journey it has been? I’m sure you’d be able to relate in some fashion or another. Now I know this *seemingly* dream that came true has a purpose for me in God’s bigger plan.
