I remembered how I complained about anything and everything around this time last year. I complained the moment I got my letter of which company I was posted to for my attachment. I never understand, never will I! How can my school be so "dumb" to post me to Boon Lay for attachment when I am staying in Yishun. It wasn't as if the attachment was of good pay (or they so called it allowance), it was only $450 - cheap labour -
I complained about waking up early.
I complained about the long distance traveling.
I complained about all the electronic devices that we can't bring.
I complained about using a lousy non-camera phone.
I complained about my supervisors.
I complained about being lonely out there.
I complained about the tiredness.
I complained about anything and everything!
I never understand and I blame God for putting me through a tough time, it was 3 whole months of torture. Having to wake up at 5plus in the morning to prepare myself for work was not a easy task as I thought it was and having to only reach home at about 7.30pm everyday. I had no life then and I came to think that March 2007 to May too 2007 was yet the worst and driest period of my life in 2007. I was so tired almost any other moments. I never understand why I have to go through such pain. WHY GOD!
Today, 25th March 2008, I know why! God convinced me that whatever I had gone is for my own good. I got a good news from my Cell Group Leader just a moment ago that I got into Bible School. I was overwhelmed. My desire for this year has come to pass, and I am going to do my best this time round. I am going to study in Jurong West - City Harvest Church's building and the nearest MRT station is Boon Lay. Classes will start at 8.45am everyday, Monday to Friday.
I was brought back to this period last year where I traveled to Boon Lay everyday. God showed me why He allowed me to go through those times. I finally understood God was teaching me and guiding me. He brought me to those moments when I was so tired and I prayed for strength, to carry on! This period of my life is yet to be the most challenging period of my 20 years, having to hold on with jobs and spiritual studies. I am going to trust in God.
God is indeed a faithful God and many a time, we may not understand why, but there is certainly a reason behind every actions that God brings you to. If only, if only we believe.
Who are you trusting today?
A baseball in my hands cost $6.
A baseball in Mark McGuire's hands is worth $19 thousand.
Depending on whose hands it is in.
A basketball in my hands is worth $19.
A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth $33 thousand.
Depending on whose hands it is in.
A tennis racket in my hands is useless .
A tennis racket in Venus Williams' hands produce victory in the world championships.
Depending on whose hands it is in.
A stick in my hands can fend of animals.
A stick in Moses' hands can split the seas.
Depending on whose hands it is in.
A slingshot in my hands is a child's toy.
A slingshot in David's hands is a deadly weapon.
Depending on whose hands it is in.
Five loaves of bread and two fishes in my hands is a small meal.
Five loaves of bread and two fishes in Jesus' hands can feed the multitudes.
Depending on whose hands it is in.
Iron Nails in my hands are a carpenter's tools.
Iron Nails in Jesus Christ's hands brings salvation to the whole world.
Depending on whose hands it is in.
