I don't know how to start this thing...I just really want to share how blessed I am in Singapore. I want to share to every one how God answered my prayers.
I'm going to just type whatever comes first in my mind, ok? :) Pardon me with my "spaghetti" thought.
I arrived in Singapore on Feb 2008 and landed the first job here in 3weeks. Currently I am in my 3rd job and will be starting my 4th on August as Senior Admin Asst (Golf Division). Every job that I had is considered as a blessing from Him even though I only last for 1 yr or 1 yr plus on those 3 companies.
This 4th job is REALLY an answered prayer because I'm so specific with this one. I asked God since January 2011 for
1) administrative position (which is my forte even I find it boring some times)
2) a company where I can learn about marketing (i wanted to explore the marketing world because I find it interesting and fun)
3) more work where it will excite me to wake up every day and to look forward to go to the office
4) a company where I can grow as a professional.
And after praying for more than 6months, He gave all those! I am so overwhelmed by this to think that there are numbers of people being rejected by MOM (Ministry of Manpower) but mine was approved in a manner of 2days from the date that the employer applied my pass.
Psalm 37:4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
I did not asked God for free accommodation in Singapore but He provided me with such great blessings.
In my first job, the employer gave me and one of my colleague a free HDB (this is a new building and new house which we have rented) for 6 months. I was only earning a minimum salary for foreigner employees on 2008 but I did not pay for my rent in 6 months! When I had my 2nd job, I looked for a room. I got a great deal, I was paying 200sgd lesser (comparing to other places) for a room in a private apartment near my work and our church. Plus the landlord are so cool and are great people, the Vera couple! :) I just love them both. Now, in my 3rd job, I was blessed again with free accommodation! Just last year my previous employer who is treating me like his own daughter invited me to stay in his condominium for free! At first I was hesitant because he is alone there since his wife passed away last year. But last September last year I accepted the offer after getting some advises from my mom, church friends and Raffy. I am alone most of the time because he flies every month back to India or sometimes to US. At first I was scared staying in that house but after praying every day for the house, for myself, for Mr.Guru and for my relationship with him, I had peace. I embraced the thought of having Mr.Guru as my "Singapore-step-dad" and for this amazing blessing. The house is always welcome to my friends and family as well.
Psalm 37: 5-6 Commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him and He will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.
While in my first year in Singapore, I can say that I am a mess. I was so emotional (not a good emotional syndrome) with every thing that is happening to me. God blessed me with great and amazing people in Singapore. I am grateful for Shirley Mendoza that she brought me to ENCS (Every Nation Church Singapore) last march 2008. Because of her I had the opportunity to
1) meet Ann Tumala who prayed for me and invited me to be in a Life group;
2) experience 1-2-1, victory weekend and be born again;
3) have my sisters in Christ;
4) be part of a ministry;
5) meet my partner Raffy;
6) meet other amazing friends;
7) have people to be accountable of my life aside from God;
8) witness different lives saved and transformed by God;
9) and be blessed again and again.
ENCS have been a very big part of my life here in Singapore. God uses ENCS to bless others like me. A week is incomplete without attending a church service.
Psalm 21:6 Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
With these events that are happening in my life since I came in Singapore until now, 25th July 2011, I can feel that God is telling me that He have planned greater things for me in this place. He is telling me that He has a purpose for me while I am here.
Just to end this, I want to tell every one that God answers prayers. God have prepared everything already for you, He is just waiting for you.
Matthew 7:7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
