5 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
you have made my lot secure.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I have set the LORD always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
10 because you will not abandon me to the grave, [c]
nor will you let your Holy One [d] see decay.
11 You have made [e] known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Geez, 2007 is so GONE, and almost a month of 2008 has past!! time sure flies quickly.. This truly reminds me that, well, all human life is truly nothing in light of eternity!! in the blink of an eye, a year's past.. in my mind's eyes, it seems like I just started high school yesterday.. but lo and behold, i've finished uni and even starting work in 2 weeks time.. *glek* gone are my student days, and hellooooo working life.
Speaking about life and eternity, just a couple of days ago, (even till today) the media is rampant with news of Heath Ledger's passing.. He was only 28y.o.!! The saddest thing about it is the legacy he left behind.. It just makes me think of my own life, and gosh, I DO wonder, what will ppl say about me when I do pass on from this life?? Sober reminder to truly live my life for God's glory, so when I do go back to Him, hopefully my legacy isn't an empty and fruitless one :)
On a lighter note, thanking God for His many blessings in the past year!! For....
- His guidance, provision, help and blessings all throughout my life...
- finishing uni!!! FINALLY, am done with it for now!! woohooo!!
- the love and support of my family, spc. my beloved dad n sis.. missing mom heaps, but hey, will see her eventually so its all good ^_^
- the blessing of koko in my life, am truly grateful to God for him..
- the many SiC that I've been blessed with.. they're truly the bestest friends (and siblings in christ) ever (after God of course)!!
- the many opportunities to serve and witness Christ that I've been given.. I'm no perfect person and I do stuff up many times, but God still gives me opportunities to witness Him :)
- the job that I've been entrusted with.. thanking God that
- etc..etc..etc.. there's too many to mention!!! ^__________^
Specifically, hohoho.. if u didn't notice that I had some bible verses up on top.. please avert ur eyes and scroll to the top, read, then come back here... I'd like to share a bit on that ^_^ wohohoho.. for my dearest friends who've been with me all this time and who've heard about my search for work.. they would've seen my slowly but surely going a bit frantic and stressed signs.. well, u see, truth be told, I've been applying for jobs since jan or feb last YEAR.. but I haven't seen any signs of me getting a job all throughout 2007!! Honestly, at first I had to admit that I was rather conceited.. I thought oh heck, it'll be a snap (after seeing most of my friends get their jobs after the 2nd or 3rd interview)... but the truth is, it's NOT easy! geez, keep getting similar feedback, sometimes it's the "no residency" thing, sometimes it's the "lack of enthusiasm" part, sometimes it's other things.. they all give me feedback saying i'm a strong candidate, but always not strong ENOUGH.. also, since my residency is STILL pending for now.. it seems that nothing is going as planned.. worries started kicking in, but I've been reminded that by worrying, I'm showing that I doubt God and that I so lack faith!
I was having my quiet time with God, and it was on Psalms 16.. Verses 5 to 11 just leapt out of the page and spoke to me.. God graciously reminded me that He's got His wonderful plans for me.. that despite how bleak things may seem, God has mapped out my life, and that even in my sleep God is guiding me in His way and that God will provide..
Well, well.. a while later.. I got an interview for a position I even forgot I applied for.. oh yeah, and the ad actually stated that only people with residency can apply!! turns out that this position was bingo! This was a position that I've been searching for all the time - my "ideal position" !! it's for an environmental consulting company, doing consulting work which concentrates mainly on design, process optimisation, and is similar to what I've been doing during my temp job as a RA at uni.. And, only by God's graciousness, I was offered the job!! woohooo!! God is GOOD!!
Just a word of encouragement, to NEVER stop trusting in God's plans.. His plans for those whom He loves are perfect down to the very little detail!! Blessings!! ^_______^
