Give Thanks!

God's love is abundant and always overflowing. He really answers prayers! 

I remember chatting with a brother in Christ and was complaining about how difficult it is to get an answer from Him. And this brother said: 'Well God will definitely answer our prayers! It is either a yes, a no, or a WAIT.' Most of the time we were caught up by the worldly issues, hence the impatience. Ironically, God's planning requires one to be faithful. The signs in between our requests and God's answer are tests of our faithfulness towards the Lord almighty. 

 It isn't easy to obtain jobs, which most people understood and are still experiencing it way long before me. Yet they still think positive! That is why I didn't doubt God's power during this depressing job hunting period. That is why I am glad to start off a career in my related field (without an interview ^^). That is why I can share such testimony to other people. Most importantly, a good first step towards future pathway has been provided by all means from God.

Wishes of being able to graduate in a foreign country and having a job before my graduation ceremony have been fulfilled! Looking forward to life, looking forward to see my beloved family! <3 life is good!

A ride of gratitude.

After ending 2012 with my success for attaining an honours degree, it signifies another new season in my life. But somehow 2013 seemed to be filled with curiosity and endless uncertainties. 

It has been two long months ever since I've started to apply jobs. Had two interviews yet unsuccessful. Frankly, I have started job hunting earlier than other people- visiting relevant hospitals and labs, sending countless resumes to possible employers, applying for lab jobs through websites, and of course, checking emails and sites day by day. It seemed to be a new 'job' for me, very very routine stuffs you see. 

As time goes by, it bypassed my time frame limit for lab jobs search, which was end of 2012. Ever since then I widened my scope of job, literally any job. Unfortunately it is such a not-on-spot timing to even beg for a waitress job at this brand new start of 2013.  I guess I have printed about 35 resumes to be handed in shopping malls, applied for about ?20 laboratory jobs through online. I could have forged myself to apply more possible jobs. I think I have tried my very best.

Looking at my diminishing bank account, I could imagine people living in a day by day basis. Well not to exaggerate, it is not the end of the world (yet) but still, it's definitely out of my own comfort zone. I can no longer be tied in my mum's apron strings or hide under my daddy's wings. It is time for me to shift  instead of staying stagnant. 

Hence, with God's calling, I accepted this temporary job at New Zealand Natural. It sounds 'ok' to scoop some ice cream and make some juices for a temporary living..... well with 8 bucks per hour for a start. (Heck) Indeed 8 dollars. I was grumbling at first yet it is something to celebrate. God must be testing my patience and blessing me with this short term chance. Nevertheless, I can pay my rent and a lil bit of meals at this point. Tomorrow is going to be a new start and I have to say, thank God. 

Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Putting away my ego, I'll accept it. I'll work hard for possible gates open along the way. :)
