🎙️ Welcome, everyone, to another special episode of Golden Rubbish 2024 Day 2. I'm Pwakusari Ezra, and tonight, I'll be sharing my profound journey through 2023.

The year was a roller coaster, filled with highs and lows. I began the year with a new job, thrilled by the prospect of growth and a higher income. However, as months passed, I felt underutilized, lacking the necessary resources to excel.

In March, contemplating resignation, I questioned why God had led me to this seemingly stagnant situation. In a moment of clarity, I realized that my purpose in this role was not just about office tasks but rather human connections and imparting knowledge.

Concentrating on this revelation, I embraced my assignment. Ironically, by April, the organization faced financial constraints and terminated our employment. It became evident that God had a different plan for me.

The lesson? Always follow God's leading. Seek His guidance in moments of confusion and uncertainty. Hebrews 4:16 reassures us that approaching God's throne brings mercy and grace in times of need.

As we step into 2024, my advice is simple: cultivate a personal relationship with God. Let Him be your guide, teacher, counselor, supplier, strength, and source. Allow Him to be your motivational speaker, for only He knows all things. Embrace God as your all in this new year.

Amen. 🙏
