My graduation was on the 17th Jan and the awesomest thing that happened that week was I had a job offer on the 12th Jan ;) how cool is that to get a job offer before you graduate officially... I'm not really proud of myself for that.. but I really want to point that out and give glory to God for the provision of such a wonderful job and change of lifestyle & environment that came along for me with this job! :D
In fact, before I went for the interview, I prayed and asked God whether is this the job he has in mind for me... because it requires me to be uprooted and be in Albany, the 3rd biggest city in WA, which is 4 - 4.5 hrs drive away from Perth, which means I'll be away from Perth, away from family, away from FCC, and especially away from Mark!.. But God spoke clearly to me to take up the job offer even before the interview, there was much peace that came along with it, and Mark was also supportive of me to obey God's calling.
And well, if we want to look into the nitty grittys.. I had the interview on Monday morning.. and deep down within I felt a sense of certainty, confidence and excitement of the prospect of moving down to Albany. I was told that by the end of the week, they will get back to me.. and Stuart, the principal, rang the following day to inform me that I have been offered the position and I took up the offer immediately, regardless of it all... I was just excited to be walking in God's destiny and appointment for me... I didn't need time to consider.. coz the consideration and prayers were already done before the interview.. :P
I reckon life has never been this great for me.. I love it in Albany. surprising yet not so surprising. I've always been a lover of nature and scenery. that's why I love it in Perth, WA, Australia. I used to dream of having a holiday home in Margaret River and staying there. Well, my dream has been kindaf fulfilled now that I'm working in Albany. :) I couldn't ask for more.. to be teaching in a Christian College, Australian Christian College - Southlands, that have encouraging and Godly colleagues, don't need to be teaching full-time in a classroom, yet get to be in a teaching role.. to have settled down in a wonderful Church and lifegroup in Troode St Church.. to be growing Spiritually once again.. and enjoying God's favour and His blessings and provisions in my life.. to see things from a different perspective and to regain the JOY within me most of all... something precious that was lost and taken away from me through the ups and downs, mostly downs of my life in 2008 & 2009...
But those downs in life were necessary for God to break me and mould me to be who I am now.. to be the teacher that He's called me to be.. to be an encourager to others... to appreciate Him and exalt Him even more... to be able to testify How Great and Mighty my Heavenly Daddy is...
Ultimately...
all glory to God !!
