What are your pursuits?

It has been a very busy past few weeks. We had my family visiting and we had such an amazing time. So much has happened since. I received an email from work informing of new changes to how things are done. I was very excited about the prospect of this, but alas it was really about changing the people involved in doing the work.

I knew that the workplace is changing and people can very easily lose their jobs. This time around, such an event has happened to me. I remembered Father's homily recently. He spoke about our pursuits. What are your pursuits? Do we forget to pursue Christ in our daily lives? It got me thinking. Is Christ the main pursuit in my life? If so, would He not care about what happens to me? If I pursue Christ in all that I do, He would ensure that I am well taken care of. This loss would only be temporary as I am confident that Christ has a new plan for me.

On hindsight, Christ has blessed the people on the other side of this world with jobs. He knows that they need it more than me. Help me to trust in your great plan for me and for everyone else. As I step forth into the unknown, I pray Lord, take my hand every step of the way. Thank you Lord.
