Update 2: Worship Conference

My church organised a Worship Conference from 31 August up till 2 Sept (yes yes, I know.. late entry..) and it was definitely magnificent! I can't believe that it was so amazing. Actually it started with a revival meeting from MOnday to Wednesday... I went on Tuesday, thinking that I would go one day and then only go for the conference on Thursday. Happily I went, thinking of nothing, just bringing my colleague with me. But woah, I was so blown away by Pastor Timothy Yeung who was sharing. Granted, I may not understand fully some of the things that he said as he is from Hong Kong and his cantonese is kinda deep, but I do manage to get a gist of things :)

Pastor Timothy Yeung and Pastor Stella Yeung (husband and wife)

Seriously was so blown away by Pastor and God's presence in that place. It was such a refreshing experience to be so filled by God's presence, to be with Him and to worship Him so deeply.

This worship conference is really mind blowing! Why do I say that? Have you ever experience being with God so much, so much that you can't do anything but worship Him? Have you experience .. by closing your eyes, God's presence fill your heart immediately? Have you ever, by stepping into the place of worship, you feel the need to worship Him immediately? This is the first time I've felt such feelings coming up from the very depth of my heart.

Thank you Father for allowing me to know that the many things that I'm doing now is pleasing to You. I also know that there are so many things that I still need to learn and also to be changed by you.. I pray that I would be able to do so. Thank you Father for allowing me to experience you and to be in your presence. Thank you for allowing me to touch you, to reach out to you and to be loved by you.

It's hard to desribe my feelings and the amazement of being in God's presence.. but here's some pictures for your perusal.

people were so touched by God that they were either crying or laughing and just worshipping Him from their hearts.

UPDATESSSSS

As promised.. here's the update from me!

New Job
To those who does not know (which I think most would be anticipating this, since I mentioned it earlier), I would be starting my new job next Wednesday, 4 Oct. Would be working in a company called M.E. (ask me if u wana know), a event management company, more towards seminars and conferences. I dare not say that this is my dream job whatsoever, but it would definitely be a new exposure for me. Having worked in M. for the past two years (can you imagine!! two years mate!), I would say that I've learnt quite a lot, from both personal aspect and also professional aspect. But I find that there is not much that I can learn from the professional aspect and things are not going fast enough to support me.. hence the decision to move into something else. Besides that, truly, customer service is not my cup of tea. I guess I've had enough of that...

I noe, there are friends who says that customer service is what you do in every job at the end of the day.. I'd agree with that, but there are different kind of customer service that's involved. Being in one of the most demanding ones have kept me on my toes for the past two years, with late nights at the office almost everyday and not having enough sleep nor changes happening in the company could keep me here again.

OK, back to the new job.. as mentioned, I would be starting work next Wednesday and would be working in KL... downtown KL. The dreadful thing about this is the traffic!! argh!!! it would definitely be bad working in the jammest area in KL.. haha.. God, I truly pray for patience on the road everyday. I need to change my sleeping habit as well.. gotta sleep wayyyyy earlier than usual as I would need to wake up like 6am!! My goodness, I havent done that since high school ok... and besides that, food's gona be expensive too... sigh... there goes the money!

okok.. it's not that bad, at least i get to park inside the building at RM120 per month, which is quite a bargain in itself.. at least to me.. i don't have to worry about the rain and all and I betcha my heels won't spoil so easily.. hahaha..another one is that I would have a friend working the same place as me! For once.. well, we're definitely not that close, but I guess I get along with her :)

Will leave everything in God's hands :)

Oh.. since this is quite long.. will update the rest again later on.. gotta share about how I got this job too.. God really is amazing .. AGAIN!!! He's always shocking me.. hahaha... but I love every suprise that He gives me... am thankful too... Will let u noe later k

Learning to Trust God more

There's a reason why the title is chosen to be as such. As a mere human, there are times we are so overwhelmed with things around us, so busy with things around us that we forget to trust God.

Likewise for me, I am also learning to trust God more. The past few months has been like a typhoon, being swept away by my work and also the happenings in my life. I could barely find time for myself, let alone time for God. Ok, I am guilty of not spending time with God. Come on, let's admit it, each one of us struggle with this too. I don't want to be a Christian who claims perfection, but who is also a mere human, flawed and all, but by the grace of God, learning to stand on her own two feet and places honesty as high as possible in her life.

Neways, what I wanted to share if God's impeccable timing in my life. Many of you know that I am planning to leave my current job and have been actively searching for a while. Yet, I struggle in this aspect of trusting God to, ya know, reveal to me the right time to leave and also for a new job. I have been sending resumes out and to my disappointment and to my security, no one actually called me up for anything at all. I felt so useless and all, all the while questioning myself and God, on my own capabilities.

There was a chance interview which I went to that God affirmed to me on my capabilities, that I am good at (i'm not being boastful k) what I can do. But God also revealed to me at that interview that the timing is not right. The month of September came into my and the sense of peace engulfed me at that time to trust God and wait on in my current job till September.

That is until two months ago, when my streak of panic and worry sets in again, kicking me into once again sending resumes and etc to companies to see if they want to hire this crazy girl to work in their company.

And this time, amazingly... God has been opening so many doors for me to venture in. Companies after companies called me up asking me to go for interviews. And God's timing is so amazing! Should any of these companies would want me, I should get to start in October, after my contract ends. Splendid ain't it?

Now, I am learning to trust God to lead me to the right job.. allow Him to direct my path and etc.

Father God, I am truly thankful to U, for Ur impeccable timing and for Ur amazing assurance in my life. I know that I am still struggling with certain worries and etc. But Lord, I want to commit my worries in Ur hands. I pray for favour as I attend the interviews and I pray that U will direct me to the right job. May U close the ones that is not suitable and grant me peace.

Thank U Lord for granting me assurance. I pray Lord that I would continue to serve U and put U first in my life.

In Jesus' most precious and glorious name I pray, AMEN

Sucks

Living in a country where ppl try to show off but are too dumb to do it well and ended being looked down upon

Living in a country where ppl are just plain lazy - so much so that their asses are kicked and didn't know it

Living in a country where ppl are just being a pain in the ass and doesn't realise it

Living in a country where it makes me vomit blood interacting with these ppl

What a life - God, I beg u, pls open a door for me to leave this sickening office so that I don't have to deal with such sickening ppl and customers.

Sigh, honestly, i'd rather they be a show off and be a blardy good one instead of doing it half way and showing me how dumb you are. Man.. I have nothing to say to such ppl..

Love

Loving someone and being in love is not easy... saw this in many of my friends' lives. People whom I thought is so blessed to find someone they love, suddenly turned around tells me, ya know, we broke up over this and that, and now.. we're once again giving each other a chance.. I'm at lost at what to say.. all I can do is just be around to listen to them and ya noe, offer comfort God's way.

It's scary knowing things like these would happen very so often.. but to face it myself, I fear I do not have such courage. I guess what they say is true, being in love is so easy, but when it comes to really loving someone, it requires so much courage and self sacrifice from both sides that .. ya know.. that's really hard.

Lord, I pray for my friends Lord, who are currently in such dilemma. We know that You are God over these relationships and I pray that You will continue to show them what You desire them to have in relationships. May You bless them and lead them, guide them and may You be Lord over them.

A week filled with cough

What a week this has been. Was kinda sick last Thursday, and thinking that it was a mild thing, I did not go to see doctor. What a bad choice, I was coughing so badly come Monday that my supervisor actually asked me to go home early. Went to see a doctor then and was told I have infection. Put on medication for a few days.

The next day, after taking the prescribed medicine the night before, I woke up feeling extremely dizzy and disoriented. After getting my bearings a little, I thought I could go to work... wrong thought, after washing up my face and coming out of the toilet, I once again feeling disoriented. Feeling that something is not right, I called up the clinic that I went to (thank GOd it was a 24 hours clinic) and spoke to the doctor. He said that it's due to the medication and thus, reduced my dosage on the phone...Gave me MC for the day (which I went to take at 4 something in the evening) and proceeded to sleep! This sleep is not the normal sleep, but rather, drug induced sleep... sigh...

Nonetheless, I have a good rest on Tuesday... thinking that things would be better as the week goes on... wrong again. I was coughing the minute I stepped into the office! The ironic thing is, I'm NOT coughing when I'm at home! Must be due to the ventilation (or lack of it) in the office.. sigh.. been having serious coughing fit... bad bad... my colleague actually asked me to get MC for a few more days to recuperate.. but the thoughts of taking MC and having the need to come back and close the cases enough to cover it gives me the shivers.

One thing though, I thank God that my aunt work place is not so far from mine, hence I've been getting free rides from her. Am able to rest some to and fro work.. really thank God for that. Getting free rides means coming home early too.. and have been resting and not doing much stuff....

Tomorrow's SAturday, but am due to some training required at work. Sigh, gone is the idea that I can at least rest at home on weekends. Sunday would again be another long day for me... with class in the morning and church service later of the day. Gotta pray hard that I will get well soon.
