Golden Handcuffs story

This article is from LinkedIn and it's like a "BULL-EYE" for my situation right now.


"Golden Handcuffs"


You ever heard of this term before? 

It's like when your job throws so many perks at you that it feels like you can't leave, even if you want to. 

Are you trapped in these golden handcuffs? 

Let me break it down for you.

No More Passion:
If your job feels more 'meh' than 'wow,' and the only thing keeping you there is the money, confirm plus chop you're wearing golden handcuffs.

Scared of Change:
You thinking of leaving, but the idea got you more scared than watching a horror movie alone? It's like those golden handcuffs got you stuck in one place, bro.

Ignoring Discontent:
You wake up every morning, go to work, and deep down inside, you're not happy. But you're pretending everything is okay because the paycheck is sweet? Bro, those are some serious golden handcuffs.

Hold Up on Personal Goals:
You wanted to start that side hustle or go back to school, but the job got you holding back because you're scared to lose those financial perks. Sounds like golden handcuffs tightening up.

Feeling Like Stuck Glue:
Your career ain't moving, and you feel stuck like chewing gum under a table. If the fear of losing those money perks is the main thing keeping you stuck, yep, golden handcuffs are on.

So, if you're nodding along, maybe it's time to ask yourself: Are those golden handcuffs worth it?

As for me and my house will serve you Lord

Finally, I’ve joined the boys in serving at the Eucharist. It’s not my time, but His time. Two of the communion ministers were unable to serve on Sunday morning and requested to move to the Saturday sunset Mass. This left the group leader looking for replacements — and he thought of me, knowing that my hubby has been serving at Mass for 10 years. I said “yes” to the invitation, and so began my journey: the commissioning Mass on 3rd August, a Day of Recollection on 9th August, and my very first duty on 10th August. It is such a privilege to offer Jesus, in the Body of Christ, to His sheep. As I looked into the eyes of each parishioner receiving the Body of Christ, I saw so many different expressions. My prayer is that this gift of the Body of Christ will strengthen them in their journey, whatever season of life they are in.

What to do when you don't know what to do

I’ve been absent from writing the blog for quite a while, as I felt there wasn’t any story worth sharing. But today, I want to share something that happened in August. For some time, I had been waiting and praying, asking God to show me whether I should persevere with this winter rental business. I often felt that all my efforts were in vain, and I had reached the end of my wits, unsure of what else to do. In my prayer, I asked God specifically for a sign: if there was even just one try-on appointment in August, it would mean that He still blesses this business and that it remains aligned with His plan. That very afternoon, I suddenly received a WhatsApp message from a man who wanted to arrange a try-on session for the next day. I replied quickly, asking for details — and to my surprise, he said 10 adults were traveling together! I immediately told my husband, though I also explained that we didn’t have enough stock for such a large group. My husband encouraged me to call and explain t...
