My last day of work is officially 15th of May. Technically speaking, I am still in the workforce as I will be working part-time for this same organisation that I have been at for the last 7 years and 5 months.
Nevertheless, I could not help but feel a little ‘lost’ at the fact that my income will be greatly decreased and that I would have to live a much simpler life than before. In a way, it is good for I have been overspending for many years now. Previously, in some other life (figure of speech, really), I had to scringe and save and when I managed to get my monetary freedom again, I just went a little out of control. I bought things that I already had or things that I did not really need. It is time I think about Mother Earth too and not waste too much.
Just when I felt a little desperate, my friend and colleague comes along to lend a hand. She referred me to another former colleague of hers so that I may be able to get another job. Then there was also the papers today. I do not buy English papers. My parents subscribe to the Chinese one. This morning, I had asked my Dad to drop me off at the office after breakfast so that I could submit some reports that were due.
In my rush to fill my hunger in the morning, I had forgotten to take my ezylink card. I had to use cash. I did not have loose change and therefore decided to buy the The Straits Times to get myself some coins to take the short bus ride home.
Somehow I feel that God had a hand in this for today’s papers had a lot of information about the schools that I was looking for to take up my pre-school education diploma in. There were also ads about schools that specially teach one to teach children with autism (which I am interested in). Maybe they periodically have such ads but I don’t usually buy the English papers, you see. I am really happy for they are now actively recruiting new students and have many course preview events for me to attend.
I feel blessed. In a way, I feel that the Lord has heard my prayers and again, I am thankful. I just feel that God shows his little miracles in such ways that I can continue to give Him thanks. I am beyond words but still, I feel that I need to pen this down even though His greatness can never be fully described in words.
