While most of my friends are busy climbing the corporate ladder, a friend dropped us a surprise at recent meet up of old school mates. This friend, Desmond, told us that he would be leaving his job to go back to school. At first, we thought that he was joking because he is already a senior manager and if he wants to go back to school, he could do it part time or over the weekend and certainly doesn't have to give up his job!
But Desmond said that he is already checking out Theology Degrees and is very exciting about the prospect of coming home to serve his church and the community. Although he didn't say much why he has new plans now and why the sudden vocation to religious life, I guess he received a calling or something. This is probably something that he must do judging from his words.
It is not easy to fathom how someone could give up almost everything to lead a religious life, a life that is totally different from what he has known all along. In any case, Desmond says that he has the support of his family even though his parents would not enjoy as much monthly allowance when he leaves his job.
