Yesterday, ten of my co-workers (including me) we&#8217;re called to a meeting by our managers and area manager. We&#8217;re a bit anxious about the agenda. And when the meeting started, it was (supposedly) a good news for us. We (currently working as a switchboard operator) will be moving (starting next week for the training, too fast) to system sales. Good things that comes with it: it is a higher level than our current level that we have (a sort of promotion, meaning, more departments are now open to us); it&#8217;s sales (full system sales) more income.</p><p>We should be happy with it, but for me, it is a struggle. The offer is somewhat irresistible (not because I badly want it, but because we cannot decline the offer). During the 3 week training, we have a weekend off. But when we goes to the floor, weekend offs are not guaranteed.</p><p>It&#8217;s a struggle for me &#8216;coz I need Sunday&#8217;s off for church. But after talking to my wife and praying, we came to a decision, I&#8217;ll grab to opportunity &#8211; for some reasons. I am planning to leave this company when I reached my goal (pay some debts, pay for the title of our small piece of land &lt;mine and my brother&#8217;s&gt;, save some money to start a home business or use it while I am looking for a daytime job, reach my 1 year mark working for this company). It is not that I don&#8217;t like this company. I plan to leave &#8216;coz it&#8217;s too far from our place and i don&#8217;t want to work night shift anymore (very stressing). And with the opportunity offered to me, we expect a little more from our salary that would help me reach some financial goals I need.</p><p>Some might say I should decline the offer coz it would sacrifice my Sunday off (for God, church and ministry). But with my current situation, even though I have weekend offs, I feel very tired and exhausted. Grave yard shift&#8217;s killing me (exaggeration). The sooner I reach my goals, the better.</p><p>Anyway, I am still praying for God&#8217;s perfect plan. Though we decided to grab the offer, we still doesn&#8217;t reject the idea that God might have a different plan. Please for me also. Thanks.</p><p>Soli Deo Gloria<div class="fbconnect_share" style=""><div id="fbsharefooter" class="fbfootersharebutton"><fb:share-button class="url" type="button_count" href="http://marvincruz.com/greater-opportunities-vs-sunday-ministry/" /></div><div id="googlesharefooter" class="fbfootersharebutton"><g:plusone href="http://marvincruz.com/greater-opportunities-vs-sunday-ministry/" size="medium"></g:plusone></div><div id="twittersharefooter" class="fbfootersharebutton"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-url="http://marvincruz.com/greater-opportunities-vs-sunday-ministry/" data-text="Greater opportunities vs. Sunday ministry..." data-count="horizontal" data-via="dodimar" data-lang="en"></a></div><div id="linkedinsharefooter" class="fbfootersharebutton"><script type="IN/Share" data-url="http://marvincruz.com/greater-opportunities-vs-sunday-ministry/" data-counter="right"></script></div><div id="fblikefooter" class="fbfootersharebutton"><fb:like send="true" href="http://marvincruz.com/greater-opportunities-vs-sunday-ministry/" show_faces="false" layout="button_count"></fb:like></div></div><p class="buymebeer"><form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" target="paypal" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" /><input type="hidden" name="business" value="marvin@marvincruz.com" /><input type="hidden" name="return" value="" /><input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="If you liked this article, please consider buying me a cup of coffee. for Greater opportunities vs. Sunday ministry..." /><input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD" /><input type="hidden" name="amount" value="1" /><input type="image" src="http://marvincruz.com/wp-content/plugins/buy-me-beer/icon_cafe.gif" align="left" alt="If you liked this article, please consider buying me a cup of coffee." title="If you liked this article, please consider buying me a cup of coffee." hspace="3" /></form><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&amp;business=marvin@marvincruz.com&amp;currency_code=USD&amp;amount=1&amp;return=&amp;item_name=If+you+liked+this+article,+please+consider+buying+me+a+cup+of+coffee.+for+Greater+opportunities+vs.+Sunday+ministry..." target="paypal">If you liked this article, please consider buying me a cup of coffee.</a></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://marvincruz.com/greater-opportunities-vs-sunday-ministry/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
