Seeking the promised land..

It's been a while since I've blogged and seriously, I don't really know where to start :p

I never knew that finding a job, seeking God's will and summarizing the work and journey in SCCC that God has led me to 4 years ago all at the same time can be rather challenging. But God has been faithful. I must say, I am enjoying the ups and downs - accompanied with experiencing God's grace and leading during this time. It is great that I finally understood what some of my working friends shared the last time - that it is pressurizing when the "whole world" is applying for a job, when companies value fresh graduates more :p, when many are comparing their pay checks, when fears n uncertainty of the future creeps in. It's not easy! I finally understood what some share that it is never easy leaving your family - and Campus Crusade has been more than just work to me, they are my family. It's seriously a eye-opening and f-a-i-t-h---s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g journey for me. But I am thankful. Thankful for the firm foundation that God has built in my life to face these uncertainty now :) My God is faithful! :)

I am excited for what the future holds for me. :)

Thankful that Hubby Johnson is still working in Mass Media, Campus Crusade and serving God as I venture out to the marketplace first. Thankful that his job is constant and only mines changing for now. Thankful that our supporters are understanding and are still continuing to support hubby in his work in SCCC even though I'm leaving, thankful that supporters still see his work in SCCC - OUR missionary journey and are supportive. Thankful for loving supporters. :)

Thankful that Hubby's supportive, and his heart is for God's ministries and His kingdom purpose, thankful that Hubby is sensitive to my emotional roller-coaster during this time - as I pack up my 4 years and continue the journey that God has been preparing me during the 4 years. *breathes*

I've sent out about 22 resumes to 22 job postings? And out of 22, 5 rejected, 2 arranged for interviews and 1 offered. So, I went for 1 interview and it turned out that the interviewer wanted to test my threshold for the job and I had a hard time answering some questions and was scolded at some times - but they still offered :) Now, I've just need to pray and seek God by next week Monday, about this place and position for the next 2 years at least. I've got another job interview next week which I am keen to find out - but it's a non-profit organization and probably not a very exciting pay, but with an exciting job scope. How? :)

That's the thing I face right now. Do I apply back into the VWOs and get a lower pay and some do more work, or into the Govt social services? But the Govt ones take pretty a long time (1 mth to 2) to reply... and I'll be officially out of job in exactly one month. exciting ya. :P
Praying for God to open up doors and His wisdom to discern my promise land :)

thanks for praying for us!
