It's been six months since I wrote in this space. It's amazing how time flies. I was always so busy that I deferred my writing. I remembered clearly what I wrote about my fears on November 3rd last year. I would like to declare that it's all God's blessing that I've adapted well to my new company, and I am happy here. I enjoyed being with the people and am satisfied with the systems and productivity that I can achieve in this new company.
During this Church Camp, I was given a prophetic message from Paster Steven Teo. I was inspired by him as he is 73 and working hard to serve God and the marketplace. I always thought my runway was too short to start learning about leadership. He had assured me that I would be put in a position to lead and acquire. I had watched how God blessed me over the years with all the fruits through the gifting from God. I need to honour God by leading and to bless others by sowing the seeds. Daddy had always pondered whether I was suited to lead, and I was never confident in my abilities. However, I'm willing to do my best and take this opportunity to honour God.
Boys, if you are reading this, let me tell you a little secret. I graduated from Secondary School as the shortest boy, and I'm always standing in the front row except in Primary 2, when I was in the 5th row. I always thought I would never find a girlfriend back then because my logic was that 50% of girls are taller than me. Out of the balance, 30% will be attached, 10% will not like me, and 5%, I will not like them. I am left with only 5% of the world, yet Mummy found and loves me! That was the greatest thing that happened to me. This is due to God's blessing!
The same question now comes: who will join me in my company? I don't see any light at all. I don't see many interested in joining me, and yet I won't take anyone in because the Chemistry is important. My intent is to help others find success and not to earn extra income. In contrast, to be a leader, I will likely work harder and yet get paid less. It's a sacrifice to be a leader and even most likely spending lesser time with both of you. I'm inspired to work towards it because of the 2 of you. I want to show you that Daddy is not giving up so easily, and I'll rely on God again this time!
Though my boys weren't the easiest boys, I know I only have a few more years to influence them. They will soon have their own friends and their own world with independent thoughts. When I went through Psalm 143:14 with them today, I emphasised that they were wonderfully and fearfully made. They were created for a purpose, and they are special. They should not compare themselves with others but focus on improving themselves to be better. God had given us the talents and finances. We must learn to steward them properly for his purpose. It's not we who get the success, it's God who gave us the talent to achieve it.
We had wonderful family time and fellowship within our Church family. We put our work aside for four days to spend time with God and Family. I'm just full of gratitude and blessed, not only over the past few days but throughout the past six months.
