Many people find themselves in a dead-end job, with their career not going anywhere. Maybe you too feel stuck in a job which you have no passion for? Well, things doesn't have to be like this. I would like to share with you a personal experience I had not long ago.

I was stuck in a dead-end job. Quite literally, it was a job which had no path of promotion, unless someone died. It was a job I had no passion for. I woke up every morning, wishing I could just find a better position somewhere else. But, I never did. I was stuck in this job, and it was my only source of income. Eventually, I hit my breaking point. One day I just got up and resigned from my job.

As I prayed, thanking God for blessing me with the wisdom to resign, I felt drawn to join my friends in their bible study group that night. It was not something I had felt compelled to do previously, as I had planned to spend the night doing job applications. Yet, throughout that day I felt drawn to the bible study group. I had a premonition that I was supposed to go there.

So instead of spending the evening with job applications, I went to the bible study group where I shared my experience of feeling calm and balanced about resigning rather than panicky and worried about my future, which would have been the normal emotion most people would experience. I enjoyed the fellowship with my friends, and after our bible study I found myself back home, getting ready for bed. I dropped my bible on my
