Wow- just wow.

I sent a desperate email to one of my tutors in class who has had so much experience in the Venture Capitalist and entrepreneurial area for help. I just don't know what I need to embark on, what I need to know, how and where- I was looking for answers- that a smart man like him would be able to give- and came away with more than I ever thought I would get.

We spoke at length about my program and background and I wanted to know what options I had- he clarified that in Silicon Valley- options are boundless, people work for 2-3 years on a job and move on... no one really settles down- it's like pure job liquidity- everything goes really fast. If I like that- experience counts- and you never can expect what to get.

If I should be thinking about going to other areas in say new york or singapore- certification counts- nothing else does.

That cleared up my thoughts quite a bit- I only have to apply wisdom in choosing- and he could tell that I could go along with that well- so he started on asking me if I was a person of faith- a christian.

I said yes and what a revelation I had as he poured out his christian struggles and told me how he came to where he was- not my chance nor his own capabilities, but everything is a gift from God- and he wants to work hard on those gifts for His glory. He didn't choose a job for money- he choose it because God asked him to- as I saw how his life unfolded- I had this hope that God will do it for me too. He has a really godly wife who prays with and for him- and they attend abundant life too.

I left not with my questions answered but left with direction.

Thank you Lord for reminding me everyday- what I need to do- put in the hard work and pray hard as to what you would have me do. It's 99% of getting your will to align with God's and really, 1% of listening out. I think I am going to have to pray that God blocks all paths but one or shine on one path as opposed to the rest- I am rather stubborn I know- so yeah - every route has its advantages but there is nothing quite as joyous and exciting than living out what God wants to have me to :)
