Can’t thank God enough!

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!=)

Steph brightens my night

I was sitting in front of the computer the WHOLE day doing my 3000 word marketing assignment. Steph and I encouraged and challenged each other to do our assignment. However, at 10.30pm, Steph decided to have a nap and wake up at 2am to continue her sudy. While Steph went to bed, i continued doing my assignment. At 11.30pm, I heard Steph open her door. She walked out of her room with clothes in her hands. And this was how our conversation began…

Ruth: *Turns back* You’re awake already???!

Steph: *with serious expression* Yeah, it’s 2am already, Good morning!

Ruth: Whatttt?! It’s 11.30 *points at clock*

Steph: No! It’s 2am already!! And you’re still up doing your assignment! 

Ruth: It is 11.30!!! *points at computer clock* Go back to bed!!

Steph: No!! *stares at clock with eyes half open* ohhhh…it is too! I remember now…the alarm at 11.30 was calling me to go to bed.. I set another one at 2am… 

Ruth: HAHAHA *couldn’t stop laughing*

Man, that was the funniest thing. I should have taken a photo of her face! She looked so serious!! Can’t believe she got mixed up. She ended up showering and getting changed into jeans, as though she’s gonna go out! She even put on earrings and admire her beautiful skin at 12 midnite!! This happened an hour ago and i’m still not over it yet! Housemates brightens our lives..don’t you reckon?

Worm in the house!

I was sitting in front of my computer this morning when Nicole went to brush her teeth. She said there was a worm in the house! What???Where???ugghh… Apprently Nic accidentally stepped on it last nite on her way to the toilet. It was dark so she couldn’t figure out what it was. She said it felt like stepping on prawns. I laughed when she made the ‘krkk’ sound. I ended up getting toilet paper and smashing the worm and flushing it down the toilet bowl. Hmm, i seem to be the killer of insects in the house!
