love filled actions

One day after realizing that one of my colleague happened to be from the hometown as I do, I found out too later that we had quite a fair bit of similarities. She stayed a minute away from me in Ipoh. We attended the same Convent school. Both of us were from the Methodist background. She had worked in the hospital my mum used to work in. We have common friends although we are years apart. And the funniest thing was the question we both asked each other. So which church do you attend now? In Suntec. Suntec? We both laughed. That's my church and hers I guess heh...How coincidental.
I introduced a friend to my work place recently. As much as I remember, she was probably the first DARE youth I knew two years back. And that was before I serve in DARE once. When I went into to DARE, I serve alongside her as she was then one of the youth leader already. She was also the first person I approach when I was looking for a job in this line a year ago when I was still uncertain. How funny too that it end up that I found a job for her in return. She was very grateful for this opening, but I was happier to work with someone whom I knew was a special girl to me. Little did she knew the day she came up boldly to me to say Hi...would go a long way =) When we get a chance to go for lunch together, we would pamper ourselves to KK hospital and have a cup of ice-cream. Somedays, just sharing Jesus together and reading a book by the pond. What more can I ask =)
A new music teacher came in last Friday. She told me a little about the church she attended and that she prefer traditional churches. Today all of a sudden during class she told me she will be coming to my church this Sunday and will be bringing her husband along. Asked me which service I attends and the timing. Haha..I didn't even have to do the asking.
As I see all this approach, I'm reminded of what I read in one of the book I bought recently...
"...The hardships of the children of Israel were not the cruel testing of God. His only test for them was the test of believing. He offered them promises, and their faith was tested with every promise. Did they believe or not believe the promise? When they believed the promise, their faith passed the test and they experienced the promise."
It seems like God blessings are hindered when we do not exercise faith. I remember before I chose to work with children, I had all the preconceived ideas about it. Even before I took on this job. But what has helped me learned through this experiences in making a decision is...what do I base me decision on. The natural or the supernatural. God's way are always by faith. If ever you face a decision which you feel God's calling you to go into but feel uncertain of and you know you had to go by faith in it - Do it. You can't go wrong on faith. That's how God works. He is please when you do.
I never knew what love truly means until I started working here. It's different from when you fall in love with someone. A love that's stronger than that I never knew exist. It taught me what unconditional love is. When all I had to do daily is to play, talk, carry them to sleep, simply making them happy...love actions that are vital for any relationship, I unconsciously fell in love with each one of them. Of course, I do have some favourite ones too =p i'm still human haha.. These actions are necessary in my job scope as I interact with them, but supernaturally it builds a bond between the children and me where I couldn't in my previous job. I wasn't allowed to talk to the kids but to keep them quiet. I see them two hours daily. I felt frustrated inside. I couldn't express the life in me. But what truly keeps you happy in a job is whether you could express out what you have inside you. Let the life in you come forth...
