After reading the blog post, I thought to myself, "Those were the best days of my career as a teacher." It made me look back and remembered how God used me in the past. At some point I began assessing how I was doing in the present.
My journey to become a teacher was never easy. An important person in my life was against it but I pursued. One reason I did is that teaching is one of the many professions that don't just give a person a career but also the ability to touch others' lives.
Now that I have chosen to let go of what I fought for, do I regret choosing a different path? No, because I know God planned it all along. I am in Canada partly because I was a teacher when I was in the Philippines. All that's left for me to do is to make sure God can still use me in His own way.
Joel Osteen mentioned, "Your best days are not behind you. They're in front of you." in his book, Daily Readings from Become A Better You. I know God has a better day for me than those I had in the past.
My future looks brighter because my God takes care of it.
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11, NKJV).
I can do better than my best days in the past because I have a God who enables me.
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13, NKJV)
