Hmm think i have this bad affinity of waking up late at night after taking a nap to do my stuff. Anyway today i just received my letter that i am officially admitted to nie. I will be signing my contract on the 16th june and doing registration on the 18th and starting sch on the 25th. Today was some sort of the ending of a long step tedious faith process (hmm first part only i guess). I realise when you are a christian, you live some of the most exciting times in life. Let me show you the timeline
Last year emerge 2006 - received shock letter of offer of contract to become chinese teacher
Prayed and decided to follow God calling to be trained so that i can go China one day to share the gospel
Sept first week - went to China for my first mission trip, cried on the last day in China, felt such a burden for them
Sept 11 2006 - June 2007 - began my tedious journey of being a contract teacher in JYPS ups and downs and tiredness of teaching, somehow pulling through
May 2007 - took Chinese entrance test, faired poorly in oral exam, seems like i am going to fail my chinese entrance exams
June 2007 - told the staff in JYPS that i will be leaving, pack my things and hand over in FAITH!!!
1st June 2007 (Emerge 07) - received my letter that i pass my entrance test
This was just a short summary of what i went through in faith since start of last year. Of course, in between, there were many other things i didnt mention. Those include, the valleys in which i cried buckets of tears, the comforting presence of God, the doubts and struggles i have over me being a chinese teacher.
Haha in short, if you live my life for 1 week, you will know how much i struggle in life to cope with things, i am just a simple person who dreams big for God, and follow God's word when He spoke, and through Him i have managed to accomplished things i never knew i could do. I can take 1 whole week and tell you about God's goodness and it may still not be enough. All i can say is come and experience Him for yourself, the day you accepted Him and feel His Presence surronding you, nothing else really matters....
