25 soon~
Monday, April 30th, 2007Time flies very the fast! In 2 months’ time, I’ll be 25!!! That’s a quarter of century! But it’s quite fun to be Fione for the past years and I know it’ll get better for the rest of my life! Why am I so sure? Because God’s in charge of my life and He gives me His best!

Wait… when I said He gives the BEST, I don’t know mean the most Comfortable life on earth. Large condo, porse car, many credit cards, exclusive club memberships, big pay cheques and lotsa cash. Ya, maybe with those assests I’ll be living comfortably, materially. Of course if He decides to entrust with me all these, I will not say No. Hahaa… I use the word "entrust" as I know jolly well I’m given all these things for a purpose - to serve others. But ironically, with so much on hand, I will still yearn for more.

I totally agree with Philip Yancey that God’s more interested with our Character. The very thing we can bring to eternal. Come to think about it, character is so important yet many a times i didn’t taking each character-moulding lesson seriously. All for the sake of comfort… Like I’m so used to teaching in tuition centre that I procrastinate seeking a job of my studies, finding excuses of why I didn’t.

Nonetheless, my past 5 months of no-perm-job status ( i quit my 1st job upon grad in Nov 05), I’ve experienced things I will not be able to, if given a office job.
** Financially: I took sponsored flights 3 times (2-China, 1-Bali). I took home salary that’s higher than a perm job (wkg 30 hr/week). Cheques-in-the-mail for referring people to my investment agent (and they took up plans); Investments are growing @ a good rate too. I had meal treats like Swensens, Cafe Cartel, Chilli Crabs etc from church family. Free car rides here & there too…
** Non-financially: I learn to…. trust God as I’m in this status of "no-perm job" which my family’s very puzzeled over and I can’t exactly explain to them why and thus tension increases, trust Him again as I flew for various purposes which contribute to the tension mentioned before, interact with ITE students and handle 40 in a class, be easy on myself when students react in a way that blew my mind, give thanks and continue to perseverse in prayers when my family still don’t see God working, share more with others about my life, keep my comments if I’ve nothing constructive to give and give praises due.

like spraining my left foot 4x in past 2 months. Thank God for the healing and strong foot.
