A New Day

It takes years for me to formulate and craft what I want to write. And as we all know, it’s all bound for scrutiny and criticism so I have to decide what to type, what not to, how to properly phrase etc etc.

Though most of the time the thought process ends at “shouldn’t post up.”

.

It’s such a privilege that God has given me the opportunity to be part of the set up at Suntec Singapore for this week. Watching the entire floor area from Halls 601-603 transform from ground zero to what it is now, it’s just awesome.

Over the past 10mths, it’s been a trying time not only for the church, but for us members as well. Facing challenging question from friends and families, what’s the best way to answer them. But yet through it all, we stood by our church. To me, this is where I found myself. This is where I discovered who I am. This is where I can actually do something that can impact people all around the world. This is where I get ideas that I’ve never thought I could come up with. This is where I can feel God guiding me in every step that I take.

Through hardships, by faith we know that God is still there with us. That He is watching over us. Personal experience from just over a year ago helps me understand too. Over that period of 5 excruciating months, I pressed on, praying everyday, praying for a breakthrough. And after that virtual/4th dimensional “smack” from Him, I finally woke up. I finally saw what God has in store for me. Well not literally that is. But more of what God could do if I wake up.

And a new day dawned.

New day. It’s gonna get awesome.

Workflows and Processes

Currently importing like what might seem to be over a thousand photos from this morning’s MJZone Event “The Winning Look” Part 3.

And I realized a horrifying fact.

Importing and copying the files over, is TWO SEPARATE things.

I was like so happy when the counter finished counting the number of things it had to import, which meant the start of processing previews, thumbnails and face recognition. And guess what, I haven’t started on the actual sorting, editing and post-processing. Hmm. Long night ahead.

Had a blast today. Really felt like I was flowing with the Spirit the whole day. From the start till now, everything that I did, I felt Him guiding me. And unlike in the past, I felt this sense of peace. This peace never existed say, 2 years ago.

I would be panic over everything. Like “what’s going to happen?? what’s going to happen??’ That kinda thing.

But guess it kinda built up over time. Knowing what to do at this time and that time, what needs to be done now, what is required for this and that. And it all comes naturally now. Even sometimes when I don’t know what to do, I just go by His guidance. It’s amazing the way God presents Himself in situations like these. After all, all these are His works, and for His glory. And as a steward, I trust that God is guiding me all the time, all the way.

From things like having a toilet break, when to put up slides, when to play a certain audio track, where to find these audio tracks, how to put the graphics in a way that will have a greater impact, having ideas that will get the media team up another level in standard and efficiency. All these, God knows, and guides. From this, you do that, then do this, then do that. And it goes on and on. And every step of the way, it brings about a certain joy. And I know it’s God guiding me in my work.

Workflows and Processes. Emotions and feelings.

And God provides too. Things like drinking water, which I clearly tend to forget. And God will let me find an unopened bottle of mineral water at random places, like at the bottom of a chair. Well, obviously someone left it there, either forgot about it or what not. But it’s God’s unique way of providing for other people. You may lose a $50 bill say on Orchard Road, and never get to find it again. Grumble as you may, but this $50 became an indirect blessing to another person. Get the picture?

And at other times, like when someone blesses you with meals and stuff, like over the Easter holidays. God provides too.

You are the way, the truth and the light.

Disclaimer: I’m not saying that everyone should start dropping $50 bills along Orchard Road, leave bottled water for the thirsty, packet food for the hungry just about anywhere you know. Though, the former idea is quite a good one. Just let me know when you’re going to do it, perhaps it might be an experiment. LOL.
