Its waiting time....

Have you ever waited upon the Lord for so long, that when it was time that the Lord told it the answer, He said , wait another 3 days ?

That is how we have been. My girl friend and I have been waiting upon the Lord for her scholarship results. Which could change the path way of our life. We've been working in our homeland for 3 years (my gf) and 7 years (for me) . Somehow, our debts got larger, and we dont seems to be able to have a life which allows us to have more time to spend together. The routine to work and back to home. It is around 8 PM when we finish dinner. We can't seems to afford much but just using our every month's salary to pay off bills after bills.

About half a year ago, we have decided that we would venture out of our country and make a career oversea. So she has decided to further her studies overseas. She is really good with what she does. She likes research. Whenever I see her work at the lab, I am so amazed that she could put the reagent into the small little tubes with such accurate precision. Even her bosses her impressed by her research efforts. By God's grace, she got an offer from 4th Top Ranking University on earth... =). But it cost a bomb to study there. Well, the Lord has His ways , even in these things that we as man always think God is not able to. In fact, God's hand has been with us all through this 6 months. (of course , all the other times too)

Well, how do we get a bomb to pay for this studies? Surprisingly , weeks after the offer letter, a big corporation in our homeland published in the newspaper that they are offering scholarship. My gf was informed by her friend that there is such a scholarship. So she applied for it. If not by His grace, she would not have been called for interview. The panel actually made a few filter of criteria before calling for interview. First filter, the applicants got to be 28 - 30 years old (my gf 28) . Second filter was that the offer has got to come from a list of 6 university only . She got her offer from one of the university on the list. She made it for an interview out of the 2000 applicants. There were only five selected. Isnt this a miracle?

During the first interview, God has impress upon the hearts of the interviewer, that she would be someone they are looking for. Though she spoke English unlike other English speaker, still God has allowed it, so that we may know God does miracles!

Miraculously she was called for the second interview with the board of directors of the company. Somehow Abba managed to make the first interview panel members, whom my gf saw as a threat to become on her side on the day of the second interview. Even before the interview on that day , God has "open" the roads to the interview venue. There was never a time that road will not have traffic congestion during peak hours. What can I say, I saw the Lord working in the midst of man.

The second interview has been completed 2.5 months ago. After our long wait, finally a registered mail came for her. But she wasnt around to accept it. We had to wait till Monday.

Well, that is the exciting part of it. The answers finally revealed, and we will finally see our life's path , moving out of barren land, and into a more stable , less hectic environment.

I hope you will be as excited as I am
