Getting a head start

Hello darlings. It's been a long time since I've last updated isn't it? Somehow I wouldn't say that life has been extremely busy for me. But I guess just never decide to sit down and write another update. Well, so far, things have been going well. I mean I really couldn't ask for more except to just be thankful and continue trusting God for everything. Into my last stage of data collection for my thesis now. Just 6 more clients to assess and hopefully I'll be able to look at the results. 6 people may sound easy, but believe me, it's way harder than it looks. So let's just stop there for my honours project. I've been trying to scout around the website to see what career prospects there are just to get a head start for my future. As some of you may already know, I'm interested to work with people in the disability sector, especially those with intellectual of physical disabilities. Saw a few advertisements to be a support worker and by faith, I just applied. I wasn't a 100% sure if I'm ready for this, but hey, life is not well-lived without faith to me. One of the applications that I've sent in was to be a Community Support Worker for the Australian Red Cross. By God's grace, I got called for an interview and will be going down for an induction programme next week. After that I'll be working with a coordinator and will be attached to a client. I can only trust God and just let Him lead me, especially now that I'm heading closer and closer to the transition point from being a student to being a working adult. Other than that, life is still running as it always have been. Having a lot more time to go shopping with my grandmama. Haha. These are the moments that I enjoy. To get your mind off life for a while and just be with a loved one. Have been catching up with friends too. I mean, I've always loved talking to people. And I must say that over time, I've learnt to realise that perhaps this is God's gift to me. To be able to connect to people. I wouldn't say that I'm a pro at doing it, still learning. But ever since I embarked on this honours project, I just sensed that God is telling me to be a blessing to the clients that I'll be seeing. No matter how trying it is going to be, I must learn to be patient, kind and understanding (perhaps that's why I get assigned to all the interesting people with such interesting lives to tell). You see, I'm currently reading this book called the Power of a Whisper by Bill Hybels. Really an inspiring book. I'm learning to be still and just listen to God speak. It's not always easy, but I'm practising :) Will end off with a thanksgiving. Today as I was walking to Espalanade Bus station to catch the bus to uni, I accidentally dropped my smartrider(those in Singapore will understand it as EZ link card :)). So I dropped my smartrider without even realising it. I was still walking when someone shouted "Hey, excused me". I was still walking, thinking that it wasn't directed to me. But the sweet person didn't stop shouting "Hey, Hey". Then all of a sudden the guy in front of me turned to look and I just felt like I should do likewise. And guessed what, the person who was shouting was looking directly at me and he showed me my smartrider. I just burst out saying "Sorry" and "Thank you". Super embarrassed but totally graeful for his persistence in getting my attention. Just reminds me of God. He will never stop trying to get your attention to do something, to be a blessing to others, to live the life that He wants you to live. And I'm happy that He's like that :)
