Plans for welfare and not for evil

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. - Jeremiah 29:11 (ESVUK)

I have been job searching for about 1 month now and have been feeling down.  Volunteered at GoForth Conference on last Friday and met J there.  I have to say that his presence brought about some comfort.  He shared with me about how God brought him to his current employment and I was quietly happy for him.  He said that while he was overseas with his church mission team, a man came up to him and told him the bible verse, Jeremiah 29:11.  That had stick to my mind because from his sharing, I knew God was/is with him.  It has been tough for me emotionally as I seek for a new job.  My emotions are fluctuating.  I can be excited 1 minute when I received an interview invitation and down when I receive a phone screening that I deemed a poor performance on my part.

However, I know that God is good and no matter what I am experiencing at the moment, it is just temporary (though it feels like a long time).  Last Sunday was my last membership class and when Pastor asked me if I had prayer request and I told her that I hope to get a job.  Her prayer touched me, as she prayed something to the effect of, "Father, thank you for the job that You have prepared for Pam in advance."  Indeed, I need to have faith that God will provide as He has always done so.

Dear readers, do not be discouraged if you encounter a roadblock.  There is a God and He knows what you are going through.  Just believe and pray and you'll be amazed.

Love,
Pam

Personal Perspective on CHC Fiasco

My personal perspective on the City Harvest Church fiasco: #1. God is omnipresent (present everywhere), omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and God knew about this episode. I believe God is watching.; #2. The CAD does not charge without concrete evidence (they have taken sufficient time to investigate - 2 years). May justice prevail.; #3. It is unavoidable for members of the public with little information about Christianity to judge.  It is also one of my weaknesses to be quick to judge/form negative impression about others, which is unhealthy.; #4. I believe to a certain extent, the message of giving and tithing is relatively strong in City Harvest Church - I may be wrong.  (fyi, I have visited the church a couple of times) My personal belief is that it is important to give to God because God is the creator of everything that exists. He owns everything and we are simply stewards of what we have been entrusted with.  Though I have to say I seldom give because I

Pledge "No" to Shark Fin Soup

Something to share... The Sharks died for you but you only consume their fins. I've pledge not to eat/drink Shark Fin Soup since 2009. I believe that raising awareness of the source of this delicacy will propel more people to make a conscious effort to stop their consumption, especially during Chinese wedding banquets. Yeah, I know that some of us might think that not much can be done and it is essentially a waste of food. However, why not think about it this way - when there is a drop in demand, there will be lesser restaurants/hotels serving this dish. Every effort counts and when it becomes a collective effort, we can begin to see a positive change. Additionally, I believe to affirm a conscious effort and remain faithful is to take a step forward to take a pledge. http://www.wwf.sg/take_action/sustainable_seafood/say_our_sharks/take_the_pledge/ Pam
