Reminising
A new year and March already. But I have no idea what were the other many things I wanted to write about in the last entry. I must really catch up and finish last year so I can get on to this year. There's loads to write. Ok. let me stop being longwinded and start thinking...
Just a note here. I wrote this kinda testimony about exam results in my computer. Dunno whether finished. Must check.
Think I actually must start from just before I went from Touch Youth to East District to work. It wasn't a big thing, seen in perspective, but that time I did ask the Lord why He wanted to take me away from the first group of His people that I could live with. And plus the 'no' about leadership, i felt as though God wanted to stop me from a lot of things I wanted. And I didn't know why. but I was trusting that He did have something in mind. Something good. I changed the screensaver on the PC I was using in the office to "God will provide." Once Qingyu commented about my leaving, saying something like,"Why is God like that?" I immediately pounced on her saying, "Don't say that! He's going to do something good..really." I wasn't just telling her. I was telling myself.
The first week I went to East District, I asked the Lord whether I should change jobs. At the end of the week, I felt like He sent me there to learn endurance. I asked the Lord maybe if I should change environment, maybe to where I could learn more things, like responsiblity or working with young people. I was thinking of a teaching job. I wanted to learn responsibility, more challenge and a friendlier environment. The Lord gave me all this, right there in East District.
In the 2nd Week, Linda ( the one whom I was to assist) went on leave. I was gladly relieved. She was a good woman, but her efficiency made me feel like a snail. Also after Ps Debra, I just couldn't handle a boss who's always at my elbow. Sometime, I was told one of the general AAs was going to leave. They needed someone to take her place, at least, until they have someone else. And there was no one except me.
When they first told me, I was thinking, I'm already stressed enough, please don't give me more stress. And I thought some more about quitting, wondering if it would be irresponsible, cause I told Linda I'd be staying 4 months. Little did I know that this was to be the turning point the Lord has planned all along.
After that everything kept getting better and better. The Lord did show me that it will be irresponsible if I quitted. Cause I discovered that they really did need somebody there terribly, for this job had a constant workload coming in every week that needs to be done to keep the entire district's admin side going. In fact, I felt that the Lord especially sent me here because He knew there was going to be a need here and He already planned to provide for them, long before they asked. Remember my prayer abomut wanting to be useful? Well. After that, there was no question of leaving.
And things really did improve. One thing, I changed seats, to a place where Linda can't quite see me, and where I don't feel so conspicuous. I shifted from a very open place right beside Linda to sit in a little 'enclove' with three very nice AA girls around me.
I think I'm getting out of point. Actually my whole point was just that the Lord did...East District was part of the immersion program I wrote about and His plan worked really really well, naturally.
