God answers prayer and guides me in unexpected ways...
Recommended a friend's Indonesian uncle to see a specialist doctor on Monday. I didn't know how much I could be of a help and encouragement to the elderly couple. Since they were all foreigners, I accompanied them to one specialist doctor to another, sat in doctor consultations, explaining and translating from English to Mandarin, assuring uncle not to be nervous, etc. All these had been time-consuming and I didn't expect this to happen! By God's grace, I was able to cope with my work whilst accompanying them.
Things didn't hit me until Wednesday when a church friend called me up early in the morning to seek for recommendation to see an eye specialist for her eye problem. A few things seemed to clash in timing that morning and it got me a bit fustrated. But surprisingly all worked out well in timing and I was at least able to spend time with this friend for a while before she saw the doctor and amidst all these, I was arranging for my friend's uncle medical report and doctor consultation. At the end of long eventful day to do so many things in one day, I realised that I have handled so many unexpected situations and I know all's only by His grace.
Why is all this extraordinary? Because I had been thinking if I should move on to a new job. I don't have a particular reason to leave but wondered if I should just change and move on. God has assured me through this past week that I should stay on... stay on to have the opportunity to help and be a blessing to others when they require help, advice to consult specialist doctors, assurance where required. What happened in the past week is atypical of my normal work week. When I thought I had been the encouraging party, the parties whom I thought I had encouraged had been an encouragement to me too! My church friend and the elderly couple - they had encouraged me through their lives. And little did they know that my helping them has assured me that I should stay on in my job so that I can help and bless others in future. All these had come in good timing as I was really questioning about my life, my ministries and my work just the last week. And God just placed situtations in my life to provide answers for me. Thanks for those who have prayed for me :)
I'm also thankful for the people in my workplace. If not for colleagues and doctors who had graciously helped, I would not have been able to help others much. Thank God for good working relationships that I have the favour of those people. And yup I will not flip through the Recruitment papers today. Learn to be contented with what God has already give me.
