Alright, I know I have been neglecting my blog for the past few days, and I do miss blogging. Anyway, I have been really tired due to work. I am currently working in Trumpet Praise either in Junction 8 (Bishan) or Plaza Singapura. (Visit me if you want) By the way, Trumpet Praise is a Christian store where it sells things likes books, CDs, gifts, and etc. Working in retail line really makes me learn so much about humbling myself. I want to be the first and not the last yet I need to have a teachable spirit to be the first! I thank God for this job and not forgetting His favor that's on me with my colleagues and boss.
Money is important, I can't and I won't deny it but after 3 days of working and interacting with people, I guess passion leads one further. My pay in Trumpet Praise is not as fantastic as what many would expect, yet I'm fine. Yeah, I do need the money but I love to meet the needs. One of my best friend, she mentioned to me, as long as I love what I am doing, I will survive in where I am, no matter how much the company can pay me! How true this is. I get to hear the latest CDs, check out which is the latest Christian books and get to interact with customers from different churches or even a pre-believers! I get to do what I really LOVED. How blessed can I be, and how much do I have to ask?
My first bike ride on 9 March 2008.
My first time donating blood on 15 March 2008.
I am blessed by the sermon today. Pastor Phil is really awesome. I have accepted Jesus now I am accepting Daphne! I am who I am, the PRECIOUS child of God. Trials and problems won't last forever. Whenever we faced a situation in life, God has anointed us for it, knowing we can overcome with Him. Trial is God complementing us, believe it or not!
Pastor shared a story that melts my heart. I hope I can write out the skeleton (body) of what he had shared with us today. (I may have added salts and sugar to the story)
There was this young woman in his church many years ago who is like many young ladies within our midst. She faced a problem with relationship. Her guy left her after "God knows why reasons". She was devastated; broken. Yet in all circumstances, she looked upon God. Every Sunday, she will lift up her hands to surrender,cry and give it back to God. Guess what! God anoints her. She was lifted up by God and today, she is one of the Pastoral staff in his church, becoming the most beautiful lady; woman of God Pastor Phil has ever met. Pastor Phil said something that hits me, he said she is paying her price even till today! Yet we see that as much as we are paying the price, we can choose to still honor the God Almighty.
-It speaks so much of my life now and I think the story just allow others to understand why I had "risen"! Let my actions speak louder as I continue to trust.-
God would not put us into something of which He knows we can't overcome, yet He gave us something knowing we can as He anoints us with more. God doesn't just meet our needs, He took care of our wants and He multiply till it overflow.
"Who said Christian walk was easy?"
Indeed, I have to believe that Christian walk is one of the toughest, but yet again, above all challenges, I found the purpose of victory! We can't make a difference until and unless we know we are uniquely different. What we act on, we strengthened. Not only do we have to just know the word of God through tough times, but we need to work and act on the living word of God in our lives.
Head knowledge everyone or anyone can owned even Satan, just study the bible and you will know it, but what makes us different will be, to know it and work with it. We are called to a higher calling, anointing in moments like these, stop standing there and watch! Get yourself and move on. There is a higher grace for you to go through your pain today, but are you believing it?
I have found my calling, my purpose in life, have you?
I have found my power and strength!
The reason behind everything I am doing.
May you find victory in your pain,
Daphne_Chloe
