This has to be a most interesting week....its only midweek on Wednesday and i have already received so many blessing from God!!
Firstly, received a call on Monday for interview for a position i applied some time back as Customer Service Functional Coordinator...went to the DHL Country Office for an interview at 9 am..was so excited that i could not sleep the night and sprang up at around 615am!!
Been praying and fasting over the last few days for my job search and God indeed is faithful..He answered time and again!! Firstly the interview at DHL was going fine..Diane Hue this sis from our church came to support me from her office and talked to me while i filled up a really long questionaire..to tell you the truth..the reception already felt like home to me as i was in the DHL culture for 6 months...:P
chatted with her and found out about Diane..this sis really works very hard and its such a joy to see her around, being very encouraging to me and urging me not to be so afraid..
The interviewer was pretty amused at me choosing what he mentioned as a "basic job"
He added this comment which i later found rather interesting.."I am afraid that you would get bored with this job..."
Funnily though as i shared about my job scope and what i do in the Regional Office...he was lamenting about RO having Internet phones, cool vending machines and certainly bigger work spaces..i realised how God has pampered me the past 6 months with such luxury in the work place..whereas the Country Office has to make do with much less..He even asked me about the definitions of the reports i generated and to give analysis on the spot!! However, felt that the assurance from God not really there although its fun and interesting..:P
wah..thank God the interview was rather fast and being situated in Tai Seng, i took bus 87 home and lunched before heading back to work..
went back to office and slogged all the reports that were pending since morning...ahahah have an intern with me already..yesh she would be taking over my job..called Marlene Lee from the Netherlands...in the first part i was rather sad that my job would be taken over by interns...but realised that God had actualli planned other "doors" for me and I just need to step forth in faith...!
Hadn't got time to properly sit down with her to train her but already the other intern from Mexico kept coming to look for me to teach him the reports that i am doing...
sigh....feel a sense of "bu4 she3 de2"...
During the Christmas gift exchange today...hahah the person who got my name did not buy anything for me! wahaha he even forgotten that he got my name for the game! aiyoh...when i passed my present for the colleague..having bought a laptop bag for him...he was so happy! I realised all the months of bickering "bu shuang" will really vanish in the moments when u give a gift out of your heart to the person....I think that is what God really desires me to do also..to give out my whole heart to Him, to honour God and to proclaim Jesus out of the outflow of my heart whenever i am....when i saw my colleague, Patrick's face...it broke into a smile which i had not seen for some time le....
I wanted to get him something that he really wanted so went through the pains of getting him a nice pressie...wow...look what a difference that makes when you really want to give something from the heart...!
Went on to rehearse the skit at Cheng's house...had a lot of fun and laughter Li Siong is a real natural..you all should have seen him!! ...yeah when they all realised that the "engagement ring" that i brought for the skit is actually for my engagement all those years ago..wahahh felt that Guang Rong cannot take it..started to ask me a "qian bian" question.."really your engagement ring meh? What happened now?" wahahah...all fell silent when they saw my face..hehe..i told GR this classic line..
"I choose God lor.."
To be able to fully convicted of this decision i made 4 years ago is not without its hurts, tears and struggles and pain...how i struggled..when i looked back at the decision to fully commit my life back to God and go for water baptism on 25th March 2001..my life changed...my engagement did not happen..wahahh was telling CC if "if it really happened, u will not see me in church man!"
How God prompts you in your heart and in these major decisions of your life, career, future spouse, education...the element of seeking God must be so relevant , i cannot imagine if i had went ahead and gone to marry ...him out of my own desires...things would have been so different...Now, I would not have traded God and the joy and love that He gives for anything in the world...:P
Had a fruitful bus ride to Dhoby Ghaut with GR and shared to him this little known fact...hehe..also my aspirations and interview process ...he helped me to to see my career direction and where i wanted to go and i was really grateful for him sorting out my thoughts...:P
Reached home...saw these two envelopes "ON GOVERNMENT SERVICE"
MOE....akan datang!
Shall end off with these lovely verses that kept me feeling very comforted and assured in God once more..
"He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge."
Psalm 91:4
"Because he loves me," says the Lord,
"I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble, I wil deliver him and honour him.
With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation."
Psalm 91:14-16
