God's Miracle Blessings

Its been an amazing journey for this loan, I was confident of going to meet my customer. But God uses extreme situations to allow us to see that it can only be God and no one else, its not us! When you take care of God's business, he makes sure your business is taken care of. And he showed it to me today. He gave me the approval, and even before i asked for it. Thank you Jesus! So exciting! I need to also learn my lesson, that God has for me. Never to go to an appointment without making sure the customer is alright with the terms and conditions in it. Make sure you think for the customer and if u were in their shoes would you accept the loan?

Its all about empathy and also to be prepared in your field. How do you present a legal document without knowing what are the contents? And I need to learn my lesson, never to "smoke" my way out. I need to add value to myself and learn the terms. That is when I am a different sales person and I can get my pool of customers. Be disciplined now, and keep to my listing. Always update my agents leads, cold call leads, and hot leads. Start cold calling and getting new leads. May God bless me here and lead me to where he wants me to be.

Amen

Doing Business

God always has a greater reason and sometimes we are so blinded by our present that we cannot see the future. I kept questioning God, why he placed me in this place, why SME banking? I trusted in myself, my own vision, my own strength. I did not trust that God will take care of my family burdens financially. But today i ahd some clue of why God place me there.

I met a customer today that blessed my heart, there was a conviction in my heart to strive and try harder for the customer although all the odds were against it. and also I knew that i might not be paid for it. But I just wanted very much to help. And to my pleasant surprise, he is a Christian, and he prayed... he prayed that God might help him to get the loan if it was meant to be.. God is amazing...it can only be Him at work...

He shared with me, the blessings and miracles of God.. how he blessed him.. He said, when he asked God for a thousand, God gave him a million. When he asked God for a million, God gave him millions, I pray now that no problem come over this loan, I declare it in Jesus name to cover it with the blood of the lamb, that this will be a testimony unto God! He made me see that God is there. He said one last thing: Fear God. It was exactly what I read in the Bible, Ecclesiastes that everything is meaning less but Fear God and enjoy what he gives us.

I learnt then not to be a quitter, not to listen to what others have to say but to trust in God and to give him the glory. I was very confident today to sign the loan, but then God taught me a lesson, to know that I need to be prepared and there are lots of things to learn to add value to myself.

Both my customers that i met today told me that in Business there are bound to be failures and people cheating them of money. Its a dark world out there... but God is the light... I think God wants me to be prepared, for what i do not know.. but its all in God's hands..

Amen

Grandma's Birthday

Today was ah ma's birthday, I had fun, it was great hanging out with my family and cousins.. I wanted to take lots of pictures with my family, so afraid that time will run out, suddenly a fear of losing people came over me, like whats the meaning of life then if it were meant to end. If time was to keep on going and never stop, people coming and going in life..Just like what King Solomon said in his writings, that everything is meaningless, but does that mean so.. he said to fear God, Really afraid of what will happen if I cannot manage to save everyone in my family, I need to do that, save everyone...

I love all of my family and friends, and I need to first share with the ones closest to me.. May God save them Lord, may you give them peace at heart.

Unrest in the spirit

May the God
of hope fill you
with all joy and
peace as you trust
in Him, so that you
may overflow with
hope by the power
of the Holy Spirit.


-- Romans 15:13

I am really feeling lots of unrest today... first was apostle in hospital, now its my grandmother..
and it might be stroke... understand the fear that everything is really like chasing the wind..
what can i control.. then i came across this verse.. when i first read it, didnt mean anything
to me.. but then i went back n read it again.. I really need all the joy and peace that God will give n i need
to place all my trust in him...

Amen...

Just not too good

Today when I woke up, I just cant go to work, my nose is killing me. Think its the overweariness...

Need rest....

So many things happening, the weather is terrible.. but i know one thing for sure, God is still on the throne.. Someone out there is getting married this weekend, someone's baby is about to be birthed! Someone just got a dream job, a pay increment, a new found relationship. Someone is planning to propose later in the evening...

There were times when i looked out and remembered that while I am here experiencing this now, someone is out there experiencing another thing. Today I really felt that I needed space.. first time in my life I felt that way..

Very tired to face a lot of things... Very sick to think..

Life is chasing after the wind

So many things have happened in the span of a week. Apostle is still in ICU, and my grandma is also in hospital. They say that her heart moved.. into the centre of her chest. Mummy said that her heart has all along been very weak. Very afraid, she is not saved yet, I do not know when to start how to say it and what to do. I need to have faith. It seems impossible. But all things are possible with God..

She seemed happy to see us today, felt so bad that I only arrived so late.. Really need to pray for her. Need strength to continue.. Feeling sick now, wanted to take MC tomolo, but I wish to work too.. Need the money, and also need to think how i should handle pasi's problem. Should he go ahead, will it be a curse... God, I need your help. I need you to work a miracle Lord.

You are the God of Miracles. Lord, I pray that you will show me a clear direction. I realise now that I was over-reliant on apostle, that he would always be there, guiding and giving me advice.. Its time to grow up...

Its time to hear from God and grow closer to him.. Yesterday was a sign that God gave me, He is so close to me.. he knows my troubles and what I am thinking. He knows the trouble that I am going through and he will keep me strong, my family strong, apostle strong.

I learnt never to take ou lives for granted, never to take our mobility and ability to speak for granted.. That we need to treasure all that we have..

I need to rest.. need to be able to think properly..

May God allow me to rest well and for tomorrow to be a great day!

Amen.

My re-construction plan Day One

Yesterday there was this box of mess here in my room.. Thank Goodness that its cleared now.. THanks to everyone! haha!



Today was a better day for the re-construction plan, cleared much more clutter in the store room as well as in the room. Need to find a place for everything and made a resolution not to buy anymore! Found so much more stuff toys and photographs.

1. Need to find how to keep stuff toys
2. Need to find if there is a scanner for photographs

This Saturday will be another full day for clearing, about clearing all the mess, need to re-design the house. Need to form a clipboard to find out about that.

3. Also need to budget for the photo negatives. Scan them into CDs.

The Bridge Club

Isaac suggested that we start forming hobby clubs, and someone mentioned Bridge club! haha! Cannot remember who is the one who suggested, great idea! Haha! We had an inauguration game last night and tonight was our first league! Whooo Hooo! And darling held the championship cup! Haha! And won a Ben and Jerrys Ice Cream! Kindly sponsored by Isaac! It was funny and I think it really bonds our teams together! Very happy that dar enjoyed himself, his enjoyment is really undescribable.. But its good, when he plays and when he works, he does both in the extremes!

Wanted to post the bridge club pictures here! Sigh! Its still with Charlotte! Should be quite cool! First runner up is Malcolm and then Juvena.. And Charlotte is the "Crow" 3rd runner up!

The funniest things that happened today was Malcolm's "2 no spade" haha! Seriously he is the winner of the "crow league"! Up to the point that when we were talking about marinating, he said "Oh you all finish renovating already?" WHere is the link???? hahah!!! Renovating = marinating.. hmmm...

Haha! Most wonderful part also is that JiaXin and Tham came today and we managed to celebrate Juvena, JiaXin and Alex's birthday! Glad that liked the books we bought them! I pray that it will bless them tremendously!!!

Oh and not I must remember that Thomson plaza's daily gifts Christian Shop is very good!!!! I actually found lots of precious moments things there that I am unable to find elsewhere! I also bought a little cross for me !!! Precious moments one..

Hah! Okie.. think I am getting sleepy.. need sleep!

My first thoughts of the new year: 2007

There are a lot of resolutions I made this year, and I really wish to grow spiritually, to be able to help grow the cell and it was my prayer that our cell will double by the end of 2007 or even earlier. A motivation to put the best of my abilities into fulfilling my destiny that God has for me. Aunty Gwen reminded me at watch night service, that my prophecy one day is to travel and minister with a back pack and with my bibles. Perhaps, Pastor Rachel also prophesy that this year 2007 I will be going on A mission trip.. The first thought i had was if tis is one of the alternate years that GB is going over to Chiang Rai for Mission trip.. I need to pray about this..

I am unclear of where God wants me to be now, but apostle saw a vision of me standing in front of a propetrty with a clipboard, so up till now its still in Citibank.. May the Lord once more use me to achieve greater heights. That last year although i will notget sales champion, that this year I will in CitiBusiness.

2007 resolutions I have not yet had time to fully digest them, these 2 days have been fun and fun and fun,, not much work to be done.. Well the days of concentration on work has come back again.. Its time also I need to get my momentum going. And to start on my globe business as well.. Cannot wait for my globe to be delivered to me soon..

I need more passion in my life, and not to stagnate myself in what I am doing. I need to seek to improve myself, character, knnowledge and many more.

May 2007 be a great year of change.. May the Lord bless all that I am doing..

In Jesus name...

Amen..
