I quit my job yesterday.
And, many things told me not to.
A good paycheck.
A brand name.
Nice colleagues.
Yet there are other reasons which told me to.
Many folks would tell me
"Don't be rash. Be calm.
Hang in there."
And others
"I understand.
Fully support.
It was a matter of time"
And in my life instances, it's the same isn't it?
Two voices telling you exactly opposite things.
Both from credible voices.
And sometimes, many things in life are a gamble.
51:49, 60:40
But we can never be sure.
Christianity puts it as a leap of faith
Analysts, a calculated risk
To Doctors, playing with your life
Sometimes when God wanted his people to go
Jonah went in the other direction
Peter denied him
When he wanted them to stay obedient
They didn't
People judge us all the time for the things we do
And to half of them, we should have always done it the other way
And when outcomes are right, then it self justifies the decision
That's the world we live in.
For me I know why I made this decision
I know.
I believe I was obedient
But I also have my thresholds
I didn't want to give up many things
But I already realised being brought over the threshold isn't always a bad thing
Sometimes like with Jonah, there's no way of escaping that big whale of fate.
And cry as we might. Suffer. Scold each other for bad outcomes. Blame each other.
The truth is that
Those are the choices we make
Whether or not we were pushed or we pushed ourselves into it
Only God knows.
