I cannot say more how much I'm impressed by the work that I'm doing and how by chance or not I coincidentally fall into place on works of the burdens in my heart.

For the past 6 months I've been applying jobs for more than 60 companies but non has got back to me with any news, both good nor bad. And this one company that contacted me, and hired me by far (2 weeks since commencement) has inspired and amazed me with the humble works that are underneath the surface. Its surface is merely a fashion company, a new start up brand with a strong international manufacturing business that has operated for more than 30 over years. But underneath that lies a humble vision which is to earn the pure and humble profit to support a greater work in restoration of Japan.

As I was assigned to coordinate and sell merchandises (t shirts) for a charity concert in collaboration with renown Japanese composer, singers, musicians and song writer, little did I know my first task in the company has a far greater mission behind it.

Tonight, my boss has opened his home to invite all these Japanese on tour to gather for supper after the concert, he shared his vision towards the restoration work for Japan. Followed by the Japanese sharing their thoughts and ideas of his future development. It was a spectacular moment as 4 different races (jamaican and caucasian residing in Japan, the Japanese and us locals) gathers and the discussion was carried through by translations. Such heart felt warmth that touches me deeply.

It has been my greatest desire to aid the needs. As a matter of fact, I have been deciding to enrol in a degree of social work just recently. Many plans I had didn't come thru, including my plans for migation which I've tried for 2 years and doing my own craft and clothing business. Then when all this recent happenings after I joined this company, it makes me think if God is really leading the way to what he really wants me to do and making my own plans not work. Is this the right timing?

I have walked out on him once which I once thought was my calling to serve his people. But I'm walking back into it this time with stronger feelings and better equipped character. As I go to bed tonight... I hope He'll speak to my senses and gives me that vision.
