Seizing the Opportunity

God has been faithful… and once again, He has given me an opportunity to testify about His work in my life.

This morning, I had the opportunity to chat and get to know my colleague Steven during a long taxi ride from office to Sentosa to meet with a company. As our taxi drove pass a school compound, I looked to my left and recognized that it was actually the school compound of SAJC, my junior college which I had spent 2 fabulous years there.

River Valley High has taken over the SAJC compound, much to my despair, as I watched the taxi drive by… remembering the times when I was back in JC. The school compound still looked the same as before, except that it no longer was the JC which I learnt many precious lessons in the earlier days of my life.

Turning aside my unhappiness, I decided at the spur of the moment to share with Steven about how I was declined a place in this school, but God miraculously provided a way for me to re-enter SAJC after spending 3 heart-melting months with a group of Christians from SFC.

After a few sharing, Steven still looked expressionless… but I reassured myself that it was a good effort that I mustered up courage to testify of God’s goodness and plan for my life. It was one step taken to be bold about sharing about what Christ has done in my life… and how I have been transformed over these years.

I am not perfect (in fact, far from perfect), but nevertheless, it would be a complete lie if I or anyone can say that I have not changed any bit all these years, for the change in me has been gradual, with ups and downs, yet significant enough for me to recognize God’s hand at work in my life.
