What more could I ask for...

This week has been a challenging one. Going back to IRAS after having been away for 4 years is definitely not easy. New people. New systems. New duties. My new appointment and new job scope means new difficulties and challenges. But this is my choice and indeed, I choose to open myself to these challenges because I want to grow in these areas. I know the trainings are going to be tough but I will be brave coz I know God is with me...

Things weren't going very smoothly though. I still have not gotten my phone line, my internet email and my access rights for the HR systems... and I also encounter problems with my staff...

In fact, I was very discouraged on Fri, when one of my staff kicked up a fuss over some small matters. I felt wronged, angry, upset at the same time. And guess what, at the very moment when I feel discouraged, God sent a timely assurance and encouragement.

I received a phone call from LSE informing me that I have done very well in my exams and have been awarded the Herbert Smith prize (awarded to the student with the best performance overall for the course MSc Law and Accounting)! I could not believe my ears!

I mean, there I was, feeling defeated and depressed and God sent a message telling me that He grace has never left me. He grace is always sufficient for me. And even though things are not easy now, He will carry me through. Coz He has ALWAYS been showering me with grace and love!

And I just could not thank God enough! The past 1 year has been the most rewarding and fruitful time of my life. I have resolved from the beginning that I will make the 1 year meaningful. Indeed, I have no regrets. As I wrote on this blog before, although I played alot (heehee.. need to take the opportunity to travel and see the world mah!), I tried my best to fulfil my responsibility as a student. At the same time, I made use of the opportunity to spend more time with my dad during the holidays and also grow in my walk with God. And God, being faithful as He is, honoured my work. Oh! What more can I ask for...

I am really really touched by how much God loves me. And I thank Him for putting people in my life who have always supported me and encouraged me. He has given me so much. What can I do for Him?
