November Notes
I got to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire yesterday, courtesy of a girlfriend who got company tickets free. She blessed me by getting me in FOC! :)
I finally caved in and bought myself a foldable portable speaker which can plug into my MP3 thumb-drive or computer. For 35 bucks, I'm rather pleased with my new tech gadget. Of course, I also spent 80 bucks for my printer toner and another 25 for 25 pieces of DVD-Rs. So I've just spent a tad much -- more credit card bonus points for redemption later, haha.
I also bought a book by Joni Eareckson Tada called "Choices Changes" for 2 bucks. What a steal. Some guy was selling second-hand books off the streets at Raffles Place. I felt “choices” and "change" call out to me -- and I just know this book is going to be an encouragement already. This faithless spirit needs some faith-filling.
Next week will be my final week with the women's magazine I've been at for the last three months, filling for the sub-editor who is on maternity leave. Sigh. I’ll miss being here, but I guess there'll be new things to engage with. Well, after today's beauty sale, I am also 43 bucks poorer -- but now I've got my make-up cupboard restashed for the year ahead. Till the next time I do copy work at this office, no more beauty shopping! :)
Tomorrow, I will pick up a new project on an anniversary book that must be completed by end of the year for a medical association. I'll also have to work on some other copywriting jobs that coincidentally landed on my lap just last week – I say “coincidentally” because the jobs happen to come just when the current job is finishing.
Sometimes I really am of little faith. In moments of sanity and objectivity, I can see how God is providing for me each step of the way – not too far in advance, but just one step at a time. Yet, when I'm in the throes of emotions, I totally forget how HE is always in control, no matter how I feel -- and even no matter how WRONG or hurtful other people are, God is always RIGHT on the money. And in case you missed the point, I'm not talking about money alone either ;)
Well, that's my encouragement for us all today. Perhaps there will be better, brighter days ahead – that’s what hope and faith is all about, right? I admit, I am trying hard not to be anxious about possibilities in Canada, and trying even harder to forget about that visa application.
Here’s where faith must rise up to replace fear – right?
