taken that step...

just sent in my resume to ms thio... it's a step i am taking to abide in His voice... haha...

have been working as a temp at HQ for 2 days now... it's been a breeze for me as it has just been simple administrative tasks... should i however turn full time, my portfolio would be one that takes care of the primary programme and either become webmaster or officers' development...

pray with me... do wish to work there if it is God's will... =)

at a crossroad...

have been pondering this issue for a while already...
although i was suppose to have had turn full time with this particular company, let's just term it X, i have not... which has placed me in a dilemma of whether to stay on with them or move on...
moving on is definitely an option... yet, there seems to be unfinished business and lots of loose ends to tie up on my side at X... i was suppose to compile this list of schools and its contacts... which i have yet to do... i should just settle it la... then, i have to complete teaching at a school till sept for 2 mornings... i don't really wanna move on, but i guess i have to at the end of the day... i mean, i was taken out of a project and not given any more tasks or projects... resulting in just one source of income that won't come in till october or november... will i can always look to that as savings... but, i am now surviving on what 2 other companies owe me about a total of $600 plus... plus my monthly tuition fee of about $200 plus... it is miserly... and my family's financial situation ain't helping... need to help my parents pay off stuff... i am not sure what to do... i was given an email addy with that company and the bosses said they were printing name cards for me... then after one rather bad project that i handled, which was not exactly my fault, i was practically yanked out of most projects at hand... somehow, i have a feeling that it is not coincidences... i have this strange feeling that it is simply the Lord telling me that He has better plans for me...
was down at GBHQ earlier today... was simply there to drop off some forms and collect some stuff... ended up talking about me working there either on a part-time basis or a full-time basis depending on my schedule... i am not sure if this is where the Lord is leading me... but while reading the 40-day fast devotions, the word spoke to me about the atmosphere... though it was speaking about the atmosphere in the church... i felt that the Lord was telling me that He wants me to have a new atmosphere at work... i have been under too much negative influences... i need to be refreshed and be found in a positive and godly atmosphere before my spirit man dies off... after all, our marketplace is our church and we are called to be marketplace ministers... yet, should i take up a position at HQ (where everyone is already a believer) i am not really sure where i become the marketplace minister... hmm... something to pray about... but apart from the word that spoke to me about a move... there are also other factors edging me on...

1. financial situation at home needs me to have a stable income...
   
2. they are looking for people to fill up places and i am qualified for it...
3. Christian working environment, would help me become more disciplined in my daily personal devotion time with God...
4. won't interfere with my serving at 46th...
5. i already know the programme, just need to revamp it a little...

however, there are also concerns...

1. might have events that would clash with certain church wide events
2. it's definitely a pay cut from what i earn as a freelancer...

the pros seem to outweigh the cons... hmm... well... still have to pray over this situation... need direction as to where to go... well... if this is what the Lord has planned for me... He will open the doors... and i will be offer the job at 2.2-2.4k before cpf... it might seem like a big request... but ultimately, i know the Lord won't shortchange me... He will provide for me definitely... i just have to trust and obey... =)

an eventful saturday...

helped Angie with the leadership conference today... was suppose to teach at the workshop and then I could leave... didn't really intend to stay for the whole conference actually as I had intended to meet Val to finish up the 100k in town... however, when I messaged her in the morning to call me when she was done with Jap class, she replied with "I'm gg back home after japanese, my hermit crab came out of e shelll.." with that, i decided to stay on at the conference...

during my workshop while the girls were discussing their mini presentation, I filled in my 100k log book... then 1 of them came to me and said that she was asked the day before but didn't have time to do it... so I looked at her and said, "I can bless you if you want to. Fill this out and I will pray for you." with that I blessed this little girl... She has a cute name, Zena... prayed for her during lunch...

as I chatted with 1 of the post-sec girls who came back to help out, I took the opportunity to ask her if she wanted to be blessed and be part of the 100k too... her name also happened to be Angeline... prayed for her too... with that, I begin to see why I was staying on at the conference... there are girls here who needs to be blessed too!

I think that is what divine intervention is... I had my plans to go and bless total strangers along Orchard Road... but God had plans for me to bless His daughters at the conference...

after lunch the girls when to do drills... as usual I was handling the team-building games... delegated it to the girls and the post-sec girls helped to oversee them... while the girls were setting up, I went about my own thing... walking around, doing basically nothing... haha... as I was walking around, I realised that 1 of the girls was hyperventilating... went over to help her and I asked 1 of the girls who was just standing around to go get a bag for her to breath into... Angie and Mun Lun (not really sure of his name) came over to help with the situation too... looking back at the incident, it was simply God putting me at the right place at the right time... if not, the poor girl would probably still be hyperventilating without any of the officers noticing... we managed to help her recover and kept her from fainting, she went back to normal and we made her rest in the auditorium away from the grueling heat... thank God it wasn't my first time handling a hyperventilation case... my brother hyperventilate a few years back before and I managed to help him with help from some friends back then...

my first heart attack moment came as the drills were about to end, Angie realised that her next speaker hasn't arrive yet... she looked at me and asked me to "entertain" the girls until she arrive... as I racked my brains for ideas, I remembered my favourite song "God's family, God's children"... thank God Clare was making up her leadership conference so I had her to help me demonstrate the actions to the song... then, 3 girls identified themselves to be from 2nd Coy (Xueling's girls) and so I was blessed with 3 other helpers to demonstrate the actions... so with that, I kept the girls busy for a good half an hour... it seems that the girls adore that song... maybe it is because it is a cute action song that made them move around a lot... haha...

second heart attack moment was when Angie looked at me and said... "it would be nice to have a worship session before the pastor speaks tonight..." with that, I simply looked at her and said... "I can lead worship, but I would need a guitarist..." 2 girls came to aid me... so with almost no practice, I lead worship that evening... Began the session with God's family, God's children, followed by Heaven on the inside of me and I love You Jesus, deep down in my heart... Thank God the girls sorta already know the actions to all 3 songs... but I still had to teach them the actions to Heaven on the inside of me, so that we all had a unified action... went into the slower songs... New Every Morning and Sing Your Love... Thank God I took the songsheet from Val the night before at cell... I guess, it had been a long time since I last led worship to a congregation above 5... it was yet another humbling experience, yet when I saw the girls worshiping, I knew that the Lord was pleased... =) it was also a reminder for me to actually go learn the guitar properly and not half-heartedly... haha... after all the sessions have ended and I dismissed the girls, some girls came up to me to ask me for the powerpoint slides of the worship session... I was pleasantly surprised... it was as if God was telling me He loved the worship and He wants more of it with a different group singing to Him...

after pastor finished his word, I was to help with the feedback forms and dismissal... as the girls filled out the forms, I announced the winners and losers of the team-building games... the losers came down to do their forfeit... initially it was the girls who were supposed to do their forfeit... but Mun Lun came and said that we will do the forfeit with the girls... we were to sing "Therefore be justified"... he is a funny character... came up with the zaniest ideas... didn't believe he was working in GBHQ initially... didn't believe he is of the same age or slightly older than me, he just simply don't act like he is... well, he is one person I will probably see each time I go down to HQ in the future...

for once in all the leadership conferences I have taught, this is one that made me felt like a star... haha... after dismissing the girls to go home, I have girls coming up to me to ask me for my email, my number etc... guess I had impacted them somehow or another during the conference and they want to keep in contact with me... was seeing how the divine intervention has resulted in so many amazing divine moments...

as I gave the post-sec girls a lift to the interchange, I also took the opportunity to bless Ching Yee with the 100k... well... I thought that would be the end of me blessing today... at least I blessed 3 more... then as I was walking back to my car after I walked Ching Yee and Jieying to the train station from the carpark above the interchange, I bump into the 2nd Coy girls and 2 54th Coy girls... took the opportunity to ask if they wanted to be blessed, the 2nd Coy girls were already blessed and 1 of them attends FCBC too... but I blessed the 2 54th Coy girls, Cheryl and Cherilyn... by another divine intervention, I not began talking to them about the blessing of the 100k, I got them to tell me more about themselves... I ended up driving them home... after talking to them, I felt that there is more I can do for these 2... invited them to join us before service on Sundays if they wanted help in their studies... well, I shall see if they contact me soon... if not I will check in on them on Weds...

although I was 2 short of the 11 I reported, by faith I believe I will complete my 20 by Sunday... =) still... I am thankful for the divine interventions in my life today... because of God's timing and placing, I have had been a blessing and was greatly blessed...

Are you part of the 100k?
