In the closing days of 2006
In a blinking of an eye, it’s the end of the year 2006. I still feel as if it was yesterday that it was 2005. Time really flies…
After close to 12 months, I have come to a point of time where I feel happier and more contented with my life. In 2005, it was rather bad as I find myself being stranded in no man’s land. It’s as if I was out of place back then…
Alright, shall no longer whine or even complain about anything. (I do my best, alright?) Let’s take a recap of what has God been doing and is doing in my life this year in 2006.
Earlier this year, I found a job in AMS System Services which I stayed on for about 6 months. Initially, the impression I have about the Company was rather good but after a chain of events, I begin to see what God wants me to see. However, more importantly, I have been able to travel to Malaysia and Vietnam. If I am still in the Company, I might have even visited Indonesia, Mauritius, Madagascar, China, Cambodia etc to name a few. Who knows, I might have ended up in United Kingdom!
Anyway, all thing works together for the GOOD for those who LOVES Him! This is the promise and word of God! I trust Him, for He is faithful and just is never a man who should lie but whatever He says shall certainly come to pass. Yes, though it may tarry but it shall certainly come! Yes, heaven and earth or even time will pass away but His word, WILL NEVER FAIL! Though I am unfaithful BUT He IS Faithful! God never fail!
During my last days with AMS Systems Services, I felt that future is bleak and that my supposed “dream” job is coming to an end. In fact, after leaving the Company, I felt very bad and useless but God is GOOD!
Shortly after leaving AMS Systems Services, I went on to my current job which I did not have confident of having at all when I went for the interview. However, in a blinking of an eye, I’m with the Company for more than 4months and going strong!
I love the job which I am doing right now. It is really great being able to know all my colleagues and going through those countless times of jokes, fun and fellowshipping. Though there are times when things just happens and that the work load will get heavy – Which means that I have to work till late hours though without getting OT pay (if God is willing, I will get it no matter who is the one opposing it), nonetheless, I am happy and glad to be with the Company which I am in.
Do I love my job more or God? My answer to you is that, sure thing, without a shadow of a doubt I love God more than anything! I love Him but I feel I don’t love Him enough. I think if I do love Him enough, I would not have rebelled or even do things which hurt His heart. Nonetheless, it does not mean that I am not being spiritual or I don’t love Him. It means to say that I am still human and I am doing my best to honor Him in all things I do by putting Him first in my life!
Please do not doubt my love for Him. I am not condemning myself too. Just reasoning things out as I can see rooms for improvements in my walk with Him. I know I will soar to greater heights in 2007 in terms of the capacity to do more work; love Him more, serve Him more, shine for Him brighter and brighter, seeing the salvation of my family members, financially doing better, career wise, being able to remember my basics and not just remembering my basics but doing it with style and giving my best!
In a couple of days, it will be the end of 2006. However this does not mean the end of what God will do in my life as what I have proclaimed in the title of this blog. Neither does it signifies a time of ending of things or a decline in His works in my life. It actually simply means that He will begin to work more on me.
Just like a Master Potter and the clay, so am I to Him. Just as a piece of unpolished and uncut diamond, I will under go through the things of a diamond. There will indeed be pain due to the cuts, old things will start to open up but at the end of the day, I will break free. Certainly I have to work harder but with my limited strength and resources, I can only do that much. However with Him by my side, I will SOAR like an eagle! YEAH!!!
In two day’s time, it will be Christmas! This is the time where many believed that Christ was born. This is the time (where it is said that it’s the darkest time of the year) when the Savior of the World was Born.
Just like the days when He was given birth to. If you have watched the movie “The Nativity Story” you will begin to understand what it actually means. Jesus was born to the world in the darkest of times in human history. The Roman Empire was ruling harshly etc… He was born in a humble little manger…
Interested to know more? Why did I stop? Haha… Should you wish to know more, I will tell but not now.
Anyway, I thank you for taking the time off to follow up on my life and reading my “rants” or even my life’s experience. I know I may not the best blogger or the most popular blogger.
I may not even be the Christian to whom you think I am or even a strong Christian. You may even think that Christians are those who have a happy, smooth life… a life bed of roses but after reading this, you realized that I am not like that. In fact, though I am rather quiet, rather conservative, do not dance much, do not have much friends or even go out much but I am still as human as you are.
Maybe you have a more exciting life than me in terms of the flings/ the sex/ earning more or much more successful than me. I can tell you that those does not matters at all. I care about my character, attitude and my walk with God. These three things are what I will treasure and will not want to lose at any price at all!
