In the past week alone, God was answering all the prayers that were closest to my heart. Till now, I'm still in a daze when I think about it. Kinda like.. my heart is not quite catching up with my mind yet? Or rather.. BOTH my mind and heart's not catching up with reality yet. Hahaha. Well basically what happened was this:
After I quarreled with Mummy that day, I starting pouring out all my woes and grievances to God. Suddenly, I had an idea that I should just write to my mummy. I was a bit hesitant, because I was angry and well.. didn't wanna bother so much about her. But the idea lingered, and in the end, I just sat myself down and typed a looong letter to her explaining my dreams and feelings. I told her how deep down, I really wanted her to be proud of me? But she has to give me space and time to decide for myself what I want...etc. The next morning, my mum didn't mention the letter at all, but she became a lot more cordial.. so i guess that's a good sign! =) I even asked her to pray for this interview that I was going for yesterday, which leads me to my next answered prayer.
I think I might just secure a job with EcoFieldTrips (EFT) Ptd. Ltd.!
I went to their office yesterday at Seletar Airbase. It was a HOME office, filled with so much greenery, teak furnishings and bits of shells and nature all around. It was so beautiful! And the big boss - this lady called Bridget - was such a lovely character. Throughout the interview, I didn't feel so nervous because she was so encouraging and friendly. Her secretary, Karen, was really nice too. And Bridget felt that I potentially had all the qualities they're looking for to join their team. **Whee!!** If that's not God-sent, I don't know what it is. Just to explain a bit: this job entails lots of traveling (another answered prayer!) to Pulau Tioman and other islands in Malaysia and Indonesia. Essentially, I'll be a certified biologist that will bring school kids into the rainforests and coral reefs...etc to teach them about the ecosystems. My ultimate aim is to teach them about conservation by instilling in them a love and an awareness of nature.
For March, Bridget'll be sending me for two training trips to Tioman, one with RGS and the other with a german school. Each a 5-day trip. Guess I'll be out of town quite a bit...;l Ah well, gotta start getting use to it.
Oh did I mention that the pay is quite decent too? Hehe.
And it'll be project-based, not so much full-time or part-time. That means I'll have pockets of really busy time when I'm outfield, and pockets of free time to still concentrate on church stuff (yet another answered prayer!).
Oh God..... I cannot express enough of the gratitude in my heart.
I know what lies ahead is real HARD WOrk. To prove my worth to the EFT people, to equip myself with solid knowledge so I can be a good biologist, to train myself to be fitter.. yes, now's my turn to work hard. But You opened a door for me Lord, You gave me a chance. And I won't waste it Father!
Hmmm... And my heart's been bubbling with a different kind of joy too. I guess it's too early to say anything now, but God's opening unexpected doors in new friendships. =) =) For now, I'll just concentrate on slowing my heart down. Don't want it running ahead of God yeah... don't want it distracting me from God for sure.
But I'll allow myself a ......
