Since I couldn't get the Curriculum Vitae thingy off my mind (it's either I am over-excited about applying for a job, hardy har har - or there has surely got to be a reason for it) - I spent last night and the whole of today working hard on the CV. It's not 100% completed yet - but I am pretty happy that I got this far. Praise God for helping me to persevere through the whole process. Actually, putting together a CV is not that difficult. I think I just found it difficult to recollect certain parts of my educational and ministry/work background. I had to dig into my file of certificates to bring back the momentarily lost memories.
When I did, I was suddenly reminded of God's faithfulness that preserved me through every exam I've sat for and its associated trials. I can't say that I am an exceptionally bright person. Before I became a Christian - i.e. back in high-school - I used to think that my excellent academic performances were a result of hard work, and work hard I did. However, after I came to believe in the living Christ, I realized that if it weren't for God giving me the strength and satisfaction to push and press on hard (even when I knew peanuts about Him and hardly bothered), I wouldn't have had done so well. I actually can't imagine myself going through the same ordeals I put myself through in high-school upper today - and I know I won't, because now I have tasted the joy of doing things in a balanced manner and trusting God that if I seek first His Kingdom and righteousness, He will bless the work of my hands. I believe that God had been in fact, preparing the path for my feet to tread even since those very days... allowing me to pursue the wild dreams in my heart... providing opportunities for the gifts and talents He had placed in me to be developed for His purposes... etc. After I had given my heart and life to Him, I naturally learned that the best ways are walked in the center of His will - and now, with everything I've gained from the past by His grace, I walk a different road. God, please let me give it all back to You!
I must also thank my dad for filing up my certificates so lovingly and nicely - so that I didn't have to go on any wild goose chase hunting for them! Tee hee hee.
Had evening class today... On my way home, I had wanted to stop by Greenlane's Mc-donald's Drive-Thru to grab a takeaway meal. However, my problem with directions - especially in the dark - got me lost. Felt like I was driving into Timbuktu. Anyway, I did arrive at Mcd's after driving a big round in great terror, distress and loneliness, LOL. *Phew* Got my takeaway meal, went home... and ate my dinner while Ben shared about his day and some insights he got from his quiet/reflection time. I personally felt ministered to... and again, God somehow cut me to the heart through what hubby shared. The urge and conviction to draw nearer to God, to diligently seek transformation by the renewing of the mind and to be less judgmental (as well as the gentleness and tenderness through which these were conveyed) could only have been from the Lord and by His Spirit.
This was my Wednesday. I hope you had a good one.
