I know this title sounds really weird. Often, V-day is characterized as "pink" but I said "blue". With an "s" behind. Well, it seemed like I never could escape the blues each time V-day is round the corner. I am always reminded of the love stories I had. And I often see all the pretty cards and the flowers being sold..how I wish I could share that with someone special. Well, was looking at the pop-out cards with Wee Siang the other day and telling him to buy a particular sweet-looking card for his gf. On one hand, I was a bit jealous while on the other hand, I'm happy for her. Cos I think it's a very nice gesture of wee siang and it'll make her happy. Oh well. I really wonder when someone special can make me happy and loved. Oh well. Till then, I guess I'll just hang around here and wait :) Today, I read a passage in Ex where the Israelites were grumbling. Not the 1st time reading it and the insights from BSF are still fresh in my mind. Well, I learned from there that the Israelites are grumbling and it displeases God cos they don't have faith in Him that He will provide for them in the Promised Land. This reminded me too that God is Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. And in this struggle I'm facing, God will provide for me! I must trust and have faith in Him. And wonderfully enough, after reading and praying, I opened my NTU email to see if the person I'm liasing with has responded to my request for a compromise of time. You see, this thu, there's a special event that my cca is having and they needed the room as early as 4pm. However, CAC booked it till 5pm. So I decided to email the person-in-charge to negotiate. I was actually very scared to open my email account. I really feared that it's a rejection letter. But, the person agreed and even gave me an earlier timing than 4pm! Praise the Lord! It's really an answered prayer and a clear providence from Him! =) It makes alot of difference to me, who's the booking rep and holding the responsibility. And I really see God's wonderful hand at work here! Thank you Father! For only You can provide so! =) Indeed, though booking rep can seem tedious, but I really enjoyed it and I really learned alot through this term in office. Especially about God's providence! =) And the encouragement, esp from Alex regarding the up-coming event. Thank you, Lord, for blessing me with wonderful brothers & sisters, the opportunity to serve you and see your hand at work! =) --------------------------------- |
