My "Being Weena" Starts

I just met with the HR manager of Every Nation Ministries, Inc. And signed my contract that states my work starts tomorrow. I will be the Primary Administrative Assistant temporary replacement for three months.

Weena who has been the most amazing admin person of the Primary Kids Ministry will soon give birth to her second child - Marco. So she need someone to take her place as she weans her new baby. She asked me if I was interested - and my initial response was a cringe.

I cringed cause I was in the middle of decision making. Doors were shut last year for any job opportunity. I needed to take care of my parents but I also have bills to pay that I cannot burden my mom with. She's pretty stressed with the medical expenses we have been incurring for both her and my dad.

An opportunity opened up and has remained open for a real estate development company to be a senior sales associate. Basically that means I get to train property specialist about product and sales skills. I've been training for five years now had to stop because I knew God was calling me to work with a project in the church. The project didn't push through so I got impatient which eventually opened up the opportunity to take the first step to my dream - School Of World Mission.

Less than a month before the "on-the-job" training, I had to stop school for personal reasons - my parents medical needs is a major reason. I was devastated but I knew all things work out for the good. God is Sovereign. Besides, the derailment means a year or two only.

Back to the cringe... After experiencing no doors being opened the multiple doors opening made it really difficult for me. I didn't want to be where I WANT to be, I want to be where GOD WANTS me to be. I sought for His face but holding to a plan that I have. Work in 2011, School of World Missions on 2012 and then Marseille by 2013. Guess what? When you seek God's face and guidance while holding to your own plans things get HARD and CONFUSING.

A couple of Sundays ago, a guest speaker talked about DESTINY. Which pointed out to a message God revealed to me in Hosea 2:22 NLT "GOD PLANTS!"

For now I know, I will still be a cross-cultural missionary but not according to my timetable. For now, I will be a missionary to my nation - a priest: guard of the land.

So tomorrow, another training commences. Big things await: Me & My Dad Camp and BOOT CAMP. I am excited, scared but CERTAIN. Thanks DAD! :)
