E, e faaruru tatou i te mau tamataraa i te ora. Ko te tino. Pehea e faaruru tatou i te mau tamataraa i te mea rerekē ko te. I learnt first hand that God brings hope. Te ti'aturi nei e whakaaetia toku whakapono ki te tupu i roto i te wero mahi. Ko toku kōrero ki a te Atua i tenei.
Mahi ahau mo te kamupene IT ao. Hoki i te whakamutunga 18 marama, Ko ahau te kaiwhakahaere pūkete Ahia ki te kiritaki Japanese pai mohiotia. I roto i te marama o Hui-tanguru 2014, tenei kiritaki pānuitia rongo rawa i te whakamahere ratou kia puta i te ahumahi PC. Ko te rongo uaua mo toku tīma pūkete no te mea i te tikanga i tatou ki te rapu hoki i te mahi hou i putaatu kotahi to matou kiritaki i te mahi.
Iho hoki ahau me toku wahine, ko reira he wā uaua. Ko ahau te pakia te moni anake hoki te whānau. I ahau ki te titiro mo te mahi hou, e te mo te tino. Whiti maha pātai to tatou feruriraa. E titiro ahau mo te mea ä waho e aore? E whakaaro tatou i te hūnuku ki te e Greener, wahi kai? Rota o ngā pātai, whakautu iti.
Whakawhirinaki atu ki te Tuatua a te Atua
Ko e taha o nga pou matua e pupuri i ahau e haere ana i roto i te wa faingataa o whakawhitinga ko te Kupu a te Atua. A, no te rongonga o te korero ahau i puta toku kiritaki te mahi PC, the Word of God reminded me in James 1:2 "Taea'ee te mau tuahine here, ka haere mai koe mate o tetahi momo ara, whakaaro i te reira te hoê rave'a no te nui te hari. E mohio ana hoki koe e whakamatautau ka te koutou whakapono, tou manawanui he whai wāhi ki te tupu. Na kia tupu te reira, hoki kua tino whakawhanakehia tou manawanui, ka waiho koe tino tika, me te oti, matewai tetahi mea" (MAORI)
I ngā ahau i te kupu a te Atua ki te 'titiro atu' ki tenei wa o te whakamātautau. Throughout the few months of job hunting, Whakatenatena i ahau te Atua na roto i te mau papa'iraa mo'a maha kia tangohia e ia te tiaki o ahau. I ahau i toku he taimi faingataá ki te whakapono kore ranei, ahakoa no te mea kihai i taea e kite tonu ahau i pehea i haere nga mea ki te paraharaha i. Kihai i taea e toku ngakau fakataimí rapu matau ki te wahi i ārahi i te ara ranei, – although I knew that He would create for me a ‘straight path’. I mohio ahau he mau te Atua, and the Word kept speaking that God would see my family through. Tofu pehea, a ko ka he unknown. He aha te etahi ko e haere i te haere i ki te ki a te Atua hei. I think humans like immediate answers to our challenges. Ka te wero? Kimihia te whakahoki – Na! Haere i te tukanga, get the solution. Heoi, Ua haapii mai au i te tukanga o te ako ki te whakawhirinaki te Atua i nui. God was going to reveal His goodness to me in the season of trial.
Fehangahangai wehi, Rangirua me te veiveiua
Tamata ahau hoki te maha o ngā mahi i muri i mohio putanga faaararaa o toku kiritaki. Hoa ahau ki tūranga tūtohua, a i ahau he torutoru kōrero ki te whai kirehe mohoao upoko me. Ko te urupare ki te mahi ka whakaangahia e ahau ki ko i te putea whakauru…. te whakautu a etahi kaiwhakahaere utu, kihai i etahi pa ki te urupare. I toku piki me ngā heke haere ahau i roto i te hinengaro, o te tono, me te uiui mō ngā mahi .
Ka haere mai te pakaruhanga i April. Kawea mai te reira i te tumanako. Ahakoa ahau tono mo te mahi ngā ä-roto, i reira ko te tono i toku tīma pūkete o mua whakarara hoki te kiritaki e hāngai ana US pai mohio ki te āwhina ia ratou mo te taha ki. I te tango i toku hoa i te whakahaere i te kiritaki hāngai ana US te whati wā poto, a ka hiahiatia e ratou te tangata i mohio ki te kiritaki e hāngai ana ki te US taupoki ana i te pūkete. I mua i ahau kaiwhakahaere pūkete ki taua kiritaki, a hanga ana e ia te tikanga ki te kawe i roto i te tangata ko wai te taunga. Ka mea ahau, 'OK’ ki te āwhina i roto i matau ahau tonu i ki haumaru toku ake mahi.
Tau hepetoma i muri, I karangatia e ahau ki te haere ki toku tari matua rangatōpū i roto i te Hononga o Amerika mo te hui te whakamahere. Opuahia, Whakaritea HR uiui hoki ahau mo te mahi tono ahau hoki i roto i te wiki kotahi i te ahu ahau ki toku tari matua. Pai ake te mahi i nga uiuinga i runga i te waea, I ahau e kaha ki te whakarite mō te kanohi ki te mata uiui ki te kaiwhakahaere utu me tona tokotoko rite i ahu mai ratou i roto i te US. Kanohi ki te kanohi uiui e whai hua ake vs uiui waea tonu i roto i toku whakaaro.
Ahu te whakapono i Hope
I a ahau e rere atu ki te US, ka haere mai i te whakaaro ki toku ngakau Ae ra, e noho ana ahau i runga i te waka rererangi. Rererere te pātai ki toku ngakau, me te ui, "Ivan, e teie nei koe i tumanako?". I mohio hohoro ahau i te pātai, ka mohio kua whakamahia e te Atua i tenei ohipa taupua ki te homai ki ahau 'tumanako' e taea e te Atua tetahi whakamahi tūkunga ki te mahi i roto i mo toku. I muri i te katoa, what was the likelihood and timing that I was asked to support my previous client whilst I applied for a new role, a ka whai kanohi ki te kanohi uiui whakaturia ake i runga i te wiki kotahi i haere ahau ki toku tari matua US? Impossible in my opinion. Na ka tupu te reira. Mai i reira i runga i, Nui atu ahau ongoi i era atu i haere nga mea ki te mahi i roto i mo toku pai.
I ahau i runga i te uiui maha tokorua muri o wiki. Ite e ahau te manakohia nui i te Atua, me te tangata i roto i te tukanga . Hei tauira, the final interviewer told my hiring manager that he didn’t need to interview me. Faahiti ia, “e ia i mohio kua ki ahau i toku kaha, me te”. I te mutunga o Mei, I was shortlisted and selected for the new role. I signed the new contract with HR with the plan to commence my new role on June 2. Ka mea a HR te reira tino onge hoki ki te he kaipatapatai peka uiui i te kaitono i roto i toku ropu, engari i mohio ahau i whakakitea e te Atua kia manakohia ahau.
Hiperu 11:1 "Tuí Ko te whakawhirinaki e aha tumanako atu ia tatou mau hoki e tupu; homai te reira ia tatou te haapapûraa e pā ana ki nga mea e kore e taea e matou te titiro ki " (MAORI)
I roto i te whakarāpopoto, Ua haapii mai au e fakatupu e he Otuá tumanako. Ki te tumanako, I ahau e kaha ki te whakapono me te māia e whakarato ahau te Atua i te mahi e tika ana. Kahore he tumanako rite te pūtake, e kore e taea i reira e te faaroo. No tumanako, kahore he whakapono. Kia tumanako, whakapono. Ka taea e te Atua te whakamahi tetahi, ha faahinga tūkunga pē, me tetahi āhuatanga ki te mahi mea i mo tatou. Ko ia te tangata e tautoko ana ia tatou. When I finally signed my formal paperwork with HR to start my new role, Whakaaro ahau pehea te nui, me te atawhai te Atua. Kawea mai e ia i roto i te tumanako āhuatanga uaua. I roto i whakarara, I taea e te āwhina i roto i toku rōpū pūkete o mua e ahau i roto i to ratou wa o te hiahia. Mahi i roto i te reira no te taha e rua.
I ahau e titiro ki muri, I ahau i te wheako hohonu ki te Atua. I ngā ahau, engari te whakahaere e ia nga mea katoa. Toku haapiiraa matua i:
1. Ko te kupu a te Atua i ngā tohutohu i roto i te mau taime o te tamataraa. Tei runga i te kupu o te Atua = i runga a Ihu. A Ihu, ko te kupu (John 1:1). I waho i te kupu ki te faaitoito ia tatou, aha tatou tūāpapa ki te kanohi wero ora?
2. Homai te Atua tumanako. A pure no te Atua o te tumanako ki te kawe mai i tumanako ki to tatou huru!
3. Ki te tumanako, e nehenehe ia tatou i te faaroo i roto i te Atua (Hiperu 11:1)
