Is It a Calling??

Could it be God's calling back to His side?
After spending over 10 years away from Him and slacking out from my spiritual life, has this finally come to an end to the hindrance and God finally took a step forward and say "Get back here Son!"

I've been called by a company looking for IT specialists in which they wanted to arrange an interview with me. This company approached me once but I've actually rejected the offer due to the position is not what I've been looking for.

But this time around, the same company with different position had called me again. This time around they want a Project manager in which are skilled to at Networking as well as Infrastructure. All 3 are my skillsets... The value add one however is that I get to travel around for projects.

No where fancy though you might say...mostly 3rd world countries in need of our help =.=

Their requirements? LOL they expect me to be PASSIONATE towards my job.... Wanna know why?

This is the company that is hiring....
