am so excited about my new house... the thot of having a home all to myself is just exhilarating... hmmm... but well, the process of getting it done up is actually quite stressful... have chosen the tiles for the living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom...quite different from what i had imagined tho... now i just need to choose the kitchen cabinet and all the accessories and decor...
hopefully will be able to move in mid dec... before christmas... am thankful to the Lord for giving me this place... husband and i are dedicating it to Him, for Him to use it anyway He wants to...
Ultimate satisfaction in life... that's the theme of the short movie clip that cyyam's trying to accomplish... it is an exciting project, not without its challenges and pressures though... the script spuns a story of 6 main characters in a psychology class... the module is one where they were told to do whatever they like... ooohh... sounds heavenly eh? not so if they were to write a 30, 000 word essay on it... anyway, that's not the main point of the tale...
each student is to think of what will give them the ultimate satisfaction in life and do that very thing for 30 consequetive days... the 6 main characters named their satisfactions as follows: skin-deep beauty, monetary gains, bgr, good works, weight loss and video gaming...
well, many of us know the rest don't we? that these things do not and cannot provide the ultimate satisfaction of life... they do not fill the oozing ache and emptiness that we often feel... because these are not what we are made for, these are not the purposes of life...
those who do not know God are after such... is there any difference with those who know God? or rather claim to know God? are we also not after things that do not constitute the purpose we are made for? it is a struggle indeed.. may those of us who know God find and taste the sweetness of the perfect fit, the fit of our purpose... to love Him who gave us life and in loving Him we give Him the glory!
this post is to remind me that my faithful God watches over me and have perfect plans lain out that His unsuspecting children do not know... but His plans are always good and amazing the way it all works out...
about 2 months ago, i was struggling pretty badly with a major decision. was offered a job at SGH at the neuro dept. at the same time, the offer to continue full-time in church came as well... what was i to do? how should i choose? was afraid to go against God's will... so after thinking hard for some time, i decided to choose to stay in full-time and forgo the SGH job. it was not without pangs of "ke xi", feelings and thought of what a pity it was...
nevertheless, i made the decision and started to plan ahead for next year excitedly... and then the unexpected happened which i am not at liberty to elaborate... what followed was a call back to SGH asking if the position is still available... alas! it was taken.. hmmm, but another unexpected thing happened... they offered me another job dealing with eating disorders... i was delighted... this dept is something i would opt for if i had been given a choice in the beginning. but i was not... not till the perfect timing.. My heavenly father has provided this for me and with bonus too..
What's the bonus? that i am able to begin as a part-timer first for 4 months. it's a great arrangement cos then i can have 4 months to adapt and adjust... His providence never fails!
