1. Went into fashion school the year they got the approval to give out degree's instead of diploma's.
2. Won the Cue Fashion Design and Innovation Competition, all the finalist were supposed to have an interview but the interview got cancelled and i won anyway XD.
3. Did terrible in my final year of Uni with B-C averages, and got the scholarship to Italy XD.
4. Gave away a dress which my lecturer deemed " one of the most beautiful dress i have seen while teaching" to my model because i thought she was such a help. After that sent a photo of the dress for a competition , got selected and embaressingly had to ask the model back for the dress so it can be exhibited, was one of the 10 designers who got to exhibit their stuff.
5. had a mean houselord who kinda made me leave the student house i was in, and after the end year holidays back to Sydney i stayed at a friends place about 2 weeks before class was to begin looking for accommodation. A friend randomly messaged me asking if i had checked the student place he recommended me to, i was reminded of it and checked it out. On the day to check out that place, i actually 'bumped' into my friend on the street and he prayed for me there and then haha that i'll find a place to stay. the housemum of that place told me she will let me know the day after if my application is approved, on that day i called her more than 20 times no reply, and finally told God " I DONT CARE ANYMORE" and not a second later the phone rang from her telling me i got accepted , my faith increased knowing that God cares and He is my provider. Moved in a few days before class began :)

Laid down my fashion design because it didn't felt right. Prayed that i would get a job before year end 2011 and put in my heart to help teach myanmar refugee students if i had not found anything to do. On new years eve 2012 my friend asked me to go watch fireworks with them, i told them i was tired but he insisted as his little cousin wanted to see me. Okay i went! i can't refuse a kid. That night they were watching fireworks at a school and i met his Aunt who is the Lunch Provider there, and just a few minutes before new years she said " you studied fashion and want to teach myanmar kids, why don't you teach our kids, we are looking for a new art teacher " that night at bed i remembered my prayer and the rest was history.
I remember cycling back from around my house during the time of waiting for the reply from the school. and as i was cycling by, a tiny mango dropped right in front of me from the mango tree. How timely i thought it felt like a gift from heaven. I stopped my bicycle and took the tiny mango home and i ate it, it was really sweet! Perfectly riped and shared with with my family though it may be tiny! I dont know why, but it was significant for me, like this is a gift i must take it, its fruit will be sweet :)
2nd school story, i prayed i'll get a job by Feb 2013 or i'll go hunt for my own thing to do so i may make a living. On 30 January was my Interview with the school. They actually let me start work on 31 January, that is A DAY before February. and when i look at it, they usually get teachers to start on the first of a new month. Well God really does answer prayers.
And the more i come to stand firm that God is about relationship, allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us and direct us and guide us, listening to Him speak to our heart. That it is less about rules and a to do list. That we must always be Honest with ourself and God. The only way to go in life, is through a personal relationship with Him. On this journey you won't be pleasing everyone, and sometimes people won't even understand the decisions you make or paths you take. But remember you are living for an Audience of One.

Testimonies! I am sure you have testimonies too of our loving Father :) May your faith increase! He loves us! Try to write them down, and remember :) Always remember. Because usually we can't see what God is doing at the moment, but He is at work, and working on a Masterpiece. Testimonies lights our faith and strengthens our hope. We must be brave, just like Caleb and Joshua, that when God says Go, we are prepared and ready to Run in Faith.
For when we remember of God's Faithfulness and Goodness, we quench the devils lies and plans to dim our light as we continue Live out Loud in Faith.

Trust Him Everyday.
Mind-blowing to just see a glimpse of His glory! Certainly shows us that with man's failures, His glory surpasses our weaknesses! Christ is definitely worth savouring above everything else :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed, extremely comforting to know that with God, our weakness becomes insignificant. He just really and truly works out everything for the better. Must continue to trust in His ways and timing, even when sometimes i feel like i am behind hehe.
