It was Shi Chian’s bday yesterday, one of the best nites we had in our household. We got some good friends over to celebrate it with her. Dim lights, candle light dinner with jazz music. Great atmosphere! But..that’s not the highlight of my post today… Here goes..
I can’t thank God enough for what He has done in my life. As you can read in my last post, i resigned from my last job. Most people thought i was crazy that i resigned in the middle of a global economic crisis. Thinking back, i have no regrets at all, although what people say may not be what you want to hear. Many people said ‘Get another job first before you quit this one’. I did seek wise counsel and tried not to make an emotional decision. After resigning, i started applying for jobs again. Every step i took was a step of faith. I applied for some jobs.. During that time of heaps of prayer i felt that God wanted me to go into the education area. I decided to enrol myself into uni again to further my skills in this area. After getting accepted into uni, I was in dilemma, work full time or go back to uni. I’m not young anymore u know! God has the best plan for me and as time went by, everything just became clearer and clearer. After much prayer, i decided to take the offer to go back to uni, since it’s only a 1 year anyway. Really excited to go back to uni in July. But the more beautiful thing is…3 weeks after resigning from my telemarketing job i got offered a job at a school - before and hours school care. I was amazed. The interview asked me if i had any questions at the end of the interview. And i said when will i expect to know whether i get the job or not. She said i can get back to u either this afternoon of by Monday depending on when i can get hold of your referees. In my heart i was thinking so i was the only one called in for an interview?? It’s like a global economic crisis, heaps of people would have applied for the job. God specifically chose me and personally i don’t think i was anywhere near fitting into the criteria of the job.. i don’t have much experience working with children and i don’t have any qualifications in this area either.. Don’t u think God is just plain amazing? He already planned everything for me. I got offered a part time job even before i start studying education!! I believe it’s gonna be a fulfilling and rewarding year ahead..actually doing sumthing that i like to do! So who says God cannot provide jobs during a global economic crisis. With God, there is no crisis!Look beyond what you can see. It takes faith – with action and prayer. With God, nothing is impossible!=)
