mid autumn festival

hmm...haven been bloggin for sum time..nothin much to pen down actualli..jus a lot of things gg thru my mind.

served for mid autumn festival and astonishingly i received 2 boxes of mooncakes for serving...haha..most of the servers onli gt one...and according to my leader, sum of theirs taste expired one...

yup...thnk God for the favor..been experiencing a lot of tt recently although it's supposed to happen all the time...so it's been a long while since i took notice of it again...

back to the main point which is about the mid autumn thingy...over the weekend, i witnessed two close frens who brought their mums to church n in a way, God has left sumthin significant in their hearts. so havin encountered all these, i was tinkin abt my lao bu (mother in hokkien).

i mean i did ask her lah..but sumhow the free mooncake plan din fall thru as expected. nevertheless, havin seen me brought back 2 boxes of mooncake, my mum was quite flabbergasted n she was inquiring which gd fren of mine actualli, so generousli, gave them to me. frm HK summore, she said.

so i told her those were the mooncake given by my church for attendin the mid autumn service la...thn she went...aiyoh, liddat i shld have gone...

-__-'''...spore aunties...wahlau...

aniwaes, my mum is gg to get born again! amen!

gg back to the topic of favor...

i was doin temp job for CPF health insurance dept..hahah...as an admin assist...my first time workin in office...i nv like the 9-5 life...so sumhow i managed lah...

nothin much to do oso..office boy carry things arun for the poor aunties who have spend their entire youth workin for this government...quite sad lah in a way...

so the favor part...

on the 4th day of my work rite...meanin i haven done much, and i dunno much abt how things are done in this department...the mananger called me into her office and to cut the long story short, she offered me a full time position in her department...she din ask directly but she instigated if i was interested in joinin CPFBoard...

so if u were in my state of shock at that moment, u'll prob say yes....but i replied coldly,"not really.."

hahah..so anti climax..

yup...not that i am outrightly disgusted wif government sectors but knowing myself, i dun belong there lah...

went home told my mum the whole story and she scolded me...hahaha...wateva...

so the reason why i rejected the manager was cos i was offered a freelance job as a photographer to do makeover shoots at a pasar malam in little india during the season of deepavali...so happening rite..

wat's more amazing is the lady boss or business partner in this case, offered me n my fren a 40% profit sharing and if things go well, she will raise it to 50%. so i'm keepin my fingers crossed on this la..

yup..so even after this, she might be offering me a job in her studio as a bridal n fashion photographer...not confirmed but everything seems promising la...

having said all this rite, i am supposed to feel excited but i am not leh...haha...
reason being i have been conned a couple of times..like the prev job offer which until now still haven get back to me...i'm quite sick of waiting n stuff..i know i am in a season of waiting... but to be v real...i'm quite sick of waiting n doin nothin...tink God is realli teachin me a lot of things in this period lo...

to not trust my feelings, but go wif the life within...

dun try to comprehend if the decisions u make are right or wrong, it's ok to make mistakes, there's plenty of time to take each step at a time.

dun tink abt whether tis job is gg to make you rich, but enjoy doin it and see it grow "naturally" in MY order.

it's ok to fail...

phew...i hope tis is gg to be a breakthru for me! it shall be in the name of JESUS!

GOOD DAYS AHEAD!

grace is when i know it is not me

walking with God



with regards to yesterday's cg sharing 'walking with God', thought i would
like to share sum stuff again...haha...

There are sixty queens
And eighty concubines
And virgins without number
- song of solomon 6:8

u notice that there are lesser concubines than virgins, and even lesser
queens. Pastor mentioned before that queens have more physical intimacy with
the king as compared to concubines and virgins, hence emphasing on the
strength of respective relationships. if u were to look at the bigger
picture, it also suggests the relationship of the congregation in church
with her bridegroom, Jesus.

in esther 7:6 -
and Esther said, "The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman!"
So Haman was terrified before the KING AND THE QUEEN.

Haman (aka devil) sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the
whole kingdom of Ahasuerus- the people of Mordecai. and Mordecai told them
to answer Esther (who was alreadi queen):

"For if u remain completely SILENT at this time, relief and deliverance will
arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will
perish. Yet who knows whether YOU HAVE COME TO THE KINGDOM FOR SUCH A TIME
AS THIS?"

so to shorten the story, on the THIRD day, Esther went into the INNER COURT
(which she was not supposed to unless she wants to die lah) and found FAVOR
in the king's sight. and the king even offered to grant her any request - up
to half the kingdom!

ya...after sayin all this...hope u understand that we are all "queens" in
the sight of our King, Jesus. know ur status and behave like one. the devil
(haman) is especially scared when he sees that u have a strong relationship
with ur king. in these last days (such a time as this), do not be afraid to
stand up and DECLARE ur righteousness in Christ Jesus. amen.

even then, there is also no cause for worry in the midst of trouble. Esther
did not immediately ask for Haman to be put to death, but instead requested
the king to hold 2 consequtive banquet of WINE. wine here typifies Jesus'
blood - our redemption on the cross. hence, see all ur worries being hung on
the cross. they are alreadi paid! Esther rested on this revelation before
she witness Haman (ur problems) hanged on the gallows, as announced by the
king.

yup...so for more information...u can refer to 'Divine Secrets From The Book
Of Esther 14Oct04 Bible Study'.

meanwhile, STAY BLESSED!
