believing in his hope everyday

hey fiona here! got sth to share with u all. been reading the bible from cover to cover since last year...havent made much progress thou. so this year i have decided to wake up early every morning to read at least a few chapters. anyway i have to wake up really early to expect the phone call to do relief teaching for the morning session. but it has really been disheartening for me not to receive any assignments in the first week of Jan.....have been bumping around at home...slacking for more than one month. no interviews either.

10th Jan, I was reading all about Habakkuk. how the prophet question GOD directly about the injustice of his own ppl n ask for help. But GOD seem to remain silent for a time but not forever. i was then thinking abt my unanswered prayers to open doors of opportunity and to give me some direction and hope regarding my future. The student bible that i hv been reading assured me that my future belongs to GOD, that as a believer i should cling on to the truth embodied in 2:4. The righteous will live by his faith ---- meaning that righteous ppl must patiently trust GOD in a difficult time. which brings to mind what PD said abt patience - waiting patiently for the Lord. Habakkuk ended the book rejoicing and finding strength in the Lord no matter how hard life have become.

11th Jan, the next book was Zephaniah where the prophet unlike the previous prophets predicted a remade world that is learning to worship the Lord...a very positive outlook despite the bleak circumstances. Haggai spoke to me alot where the prophet urge everyone to give careful thought to their situation as they need to put GOD first n rebuild his temple. 2: 1-9 shows how GOD had glorious plans for Israel n that his presence will be with them in their prosperity. i felt assured of the glorious plans he had for me, telling me not to fear and that he is with me. by faith in 2: 19 where he said from this day on i will bless you. i copied the verse in my journal n put the date 11th Jan.

Little did i knoe that day, i received two contacts for tuition...never mind that its not really confirmed. n that evening while attending the council meeting at HQ, i received a call for the key contact person fr unity primary to confirm that i am doing relief teaching. i was really surprised it was after school hours n she used her handphone. Oh man the next day i had the assignment and then she decide to book me for the whole of next week or even longer for afternoon session. i am keeping my fingers crossed, she will call to confirm on monday. i hope she dun give the assignment away to someone else coz of recruitment i miss friday session n also coz i hv claimed it liao. downside is i can say bye bye to GB every friday. then also next day receive a call for an interview on monday. public liaison officer at URA. not really keen on handling summonses n traffic offenses stuff. but i will try.....i really dread interviews. probably fall to pieces in front of 3 interviewers...pls pray dat i wont. I thank GOD for the unexpected change in the situation but all is not well as i kana rejected a second time for teaching...quite disappointed. still stumbling along n wondering what is in store as my future career but at least i knoe he is in control.
