Networking

I’ve been in Cebu City for a bit over a week. The day after I arrived a friend introduced me to a couple of guys. There are several ex patriots that frequent a local bar and grill in one of the malls. The location is Travellers, located in J Mall or J Center Mall.

I visited that location yesterday and from there met a couple more people and generated a couple of job leads teaching English as a second language. All done virtually which offers me the flexibility I desire. I also met another guy from Italy and acquired a lead on an apartment within my current budget. It’s great to network and meet those a bit further down the road and interested in helping me along my journey.

Today, Monday, January 7, 2019, I am grateful that:

I am NOT too proud to ask for help. It’s great to be a spot mentally where I can ask for the help I need and actually be willing to accept the assistance when it arrives.

I am living in a place where English is spoken as a major language. Living in Brazil last year was an incredible experience. My main regret is I hadn’t exercised the discipline to become fluent in another language. Brazil was great, yet not speak the native tongue made the experience somewhat stressful and exhausting. The exertion required when thinking of every word in every conversation is a stress I am unable to adequately articulate for those without the experience.

God is sending people my direction to assist in my journey and I am able to recognize those individuals this time around. I’m sure He’s been doing the same thing all along, yet I’ve probably not been able to see them.

Some along my journey are assisting. Before I could this list I receive a text with a number to call about teaching English. That’s the speed of God. Not sure what will happen but the things is, something is happening. I’ll meet with the guy this afternoon and see what happens. I take action - God handles results.

Enjoy your day. Be impactful!!!
