It is day 72. 13 days since I left Singapore for a second time in 5 weeks.
I am still jobless.
But I have revelations, and plans.
I plan to:
1) Try my hand at baking from home, hopefully with a little advertising from family.
2) Give ribbonwork a real go and possibly try to ribbon flowers on t-shirts.
I figure that there must be a reason for this season of rest. I originally endeavoured to fill my days with activities because I was sold on the idea that I'd be bored in Perth - the place where people come to retire and die, or live way pass 100. So, I tried my best - I filled my days with gardening and grocery shopping and for the first couple of days, lots of laundry and sun-catching.
Still, with WACOT sitting on my registration for PRT, waiting on my IELTS test which is only on 13 Oct, results released 2 weeks from then, I have come to realise that maybe I need to take this period of rest to regroup, replan and re-evaluate my future.
Daddy told me in 2009 that I didn't have to run helter-skelter and look for love with blind dates set up by well meaning aunts. His daughters didn't have to do that; just trust in God's plan, and the intended beloved will come to us. In service yesterday, I realised that that is indeed God's message to me too. He has a plan and I need only to trust Him to deliver on His promises. I need not run helter-skelter.
And so, this is my new plan.
To stand still.
Psalm 46:10 - 'Be still, and know that I am God.'
