It's God's Perfect Timing...

Well, I did said that something major happened in my life in the past week when I didn't blog. : )

It's indeed something major. It's a dream come through. Been asking my helpers and friends to keep me in prayers because it's something that will change my life dramatically. And many of those who know me well enough would have guessed anyway.

Thanks for keeping me in your prayers. Really appreciate it. Yes, I AM GOING FULL-TIME AS A CHURCH STAFF!

God's timing is really perfect. Can't find a better word to describe it.

I remember I was sharing with my members during cell group last last week about my dream of becoming a full time church staff. And I shared about how the dream went through different stages of dream - decision - delay - dead end, and although my dream has't come to pass, I know it will surely come to the deliverance stage one day because that's a natural progression. I remembered when I was sharing it, the joy of the Lord filled my heart all over again.

Immediately on the next day, Pst asked me if I am ready to go full time. I shall not go into the details of how come suddenly there was an opening, but it just happened like that. This time, it was different from the previous few times when I almost became a staff. I remembered last previous times when Pst asked me, I would answer without hesitation 'yes!'. But this time, I stopped for a moment and told Pst I need to think about it because we are in the building fund season and I seriously do not know how I am able to fulfill my building fund if I quit my current job. But Pst just told me to pray for more faith.

And that's what I did. Went home & prayed that God will increase my faith. I realised that if I start to reason with myself about the realities of life and whether I will really be able to support myself and what I have pledged, I will never be able to step out in faith. Because the more I count them, the harder it seems. And I told myself that I want to step out in faith and not worry. God is a faithful God. He will not shortchange me. These two sentences stuck to my head every moment. I needed supernatural faith.

And there, I plugged up the courage and sms-ed Pst that I will take up the job as a zone secretary. Then things just stood still for a while before Pst finally sms-ed me to tender my resignation asap.

That's another funny thing. Pst Lillian sms-ed me at 2.30am on Sat morning. I only saw the sms at about 7am in the morning and when I saw it, I almost screamed! And I woke up Isaiah and forced him to read the sms. Hahaha.... it was an exciting moment for me. And after that, I can't sleep anymore.

I finally tendered my resignation two days ago. It was not an easy task to do. I have never tendered resignation before and this felt like a very tough thing to do. I didn't want my boss to think I dislike her or anything like that. So, I prayed and prayed and prayed before I finally went to talk to both my bosses. Annie even gave me a hug before I went! Haha... moral support... It turned out really well, thank God. My boss was very understanding. : )

So, it's settled. I am now serving my one month notice and my last day will be on 2 Sept. Thank God for bringing me through. The road ahead is gonna be tougher and much busier, but I trust God to lead me through. My friends, please pray for me.

This is my dream in the making. : )
