Procrastinated.Excuses.Plenty
yes yes, i've procrastinated in writing my blog. gave many excuses not to write, some lame, some logical, but they are still excuses...
was trying to push until probably next week to write, but decided that i shall just write something. so here you go: SOMETHING.
lame. i know. thot of writing in the form that damien wrote, in point form (now i've given you credit for it.. :p) but i m more used to writing in text format.
the month of sept was interesting for me. very fruitful.
1. by faith, i applied for teaching & relief teaching with MOE. it's been my consideration to join the teaching profession since my participation with youth at Fei Yue FSC. but because of my results i had decided to procrastinate (yes, procrastinate again, hence the title of this entry) my application till after getting my results in Dec. reason being i m afraid that they will not give me an interview 'cos of my poor results. can't remember how God told me that i have not trust Him, but that was the message. so by faith i applied. not only that, i realized the reason why i had such odd timetable (if you still dunno, my lessons starts after 4pm everyday except tues which starts at 10am). the Lord gave such timetable so that i can use the time to do relief teaching. some people may say i m over-spiritualizing things, non-Christians will say that i simply know how to make use of my time. but i know it's God who make things the way it is. everything was so precised that no human could have done that.
within 1 week of application for relief teaching, i got an assignment from Kranji Sec. have been on ad-hoc assignments for quite a few days now. quite good experience. hope can get more assignments. at least my bank account has a bit of support.
last Friday, i went for an interview with MOE. got the letter the week before. was so happy abt it & thanking God for the chance. not only thankful for the chance, the interview itself was a blessing. it was smooth-going. they started by asking what Materials Science is & how it can relate to teaching. then with my sharing of my experience in Kranji & Fei Yue, the interviewers asked me mainly questions pertaining to my experience which i could answer with ease. statistically speaking, with such smooth-going interview, i shld be able to make it to NIE. however, it is still God who make the final decision & i wanna focus my mind unto Him such that if He thinks that i shldn't go into teaching even after the interview, i wun be bitter but i'll trust Him for providence & direction. of cos, i still hope that i can make it, cos i really begin to enjoy myself in the school & with the students thos many of them are a terror, & sincerely hope tt God'll approve me serving Him there.
wanted to blog abt this after the interview result is out, but decided that i wanna noted down my feeling before & after the results, cos if the result is negative, surely i'll not be able to convey the joy i had when i was 1st given the interview. so pray for me that i'll taken God's decision with joy, no matter the outcome.
2. started to attend a mentoring group in church. beginning to get my walk with God settled down with a structure. it helped. some problems i had in the past was answered thru the study of God's words & it's good to have a small group of pple whom we can grow to trust.
Father, help me to love You, to not look at my past or my circumstances but to look at Your final proclamation of Your love thru the cross of Christ.
