Real Life.
Been a long time since i wrote 2 blog entries in a day.
I shared with my close friends that i can't wait to get married and settle down soon. I know its very untypical of a guy to say this but i really feel it so strongly in me right now. The reason is because i always believe that the essence of adulthood is to be able to share your life with another person and for the other person to share her life with you. However the past 2 days, i've been pondering on a few issues right now in my life.
1) Maturity Level
Am i mature enough to enter into a new relationship? to take care and love my future wife? to be there for her whenever she needs me? or to be able to lead in this new relationship? My conclusion is there i am on the way, but certaintly not there yet. There're a lot of things that I can improve in my life now, both emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
Emotionally i can afford to be stronger, firmer, not always wavering in times of trials or doubts but standing fast on the word of God and His promises.
Mentally i can afford to renew my mind much much more, putting away the past and putting on the renewed mind of CHRIST. A friend once told me: "Glenn, you have changed on the exterior but your interior is pretty much the same."
Spiritually i can afford to press in much more, be more fervent in my prayers and strike a balance between serving in ministry and praying, seeking the face of God.
2) Career Path
I am still waiting for THE call from NIE but in the meantime, i am not going to sit around to watch the rising and setting of the sun everyday. Last night, I applied for a few more new positions in the corporate world but this time round, its slightly different in the way that i went about applying for the jobs. As i looked and scrolled down the list of avaliable jobs, i only clicked on those which i felt a leading towards and thus subsequently applied for it. I will keep praying and seeking His face before making a career switch. :)
3) Financial Situation
All thanks to God and His provision, I have been doing well financially the past few months and have been really blessed. Indeed, as we put His kingdom first and build His house, He will build our house! However i am still far off from the target that i've set for myself in order to prepare for the wedding, dinner, bridal gown rental, photography, hdb flat downpayment, honeymoon trip and DIAMOND RING!..(did i missed anything out?) haha! I will remain faithful to give and bless in every situation! :)
So much have been shared and said today in this blog entry. Now let me pray for the right one to come soon. :)
