SEASON 3 EPISODE 9: A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

After a refreshing break from the City over the Easter weekend with the Weis in Basingstoke, I am back in London to face another week of school (in fact, only Wednesday and Friday) and a window of opportunity.

Why do I say a "window of opportunity"?

Well, I received an email on Thursday from the HR department of a City firm inviting me to make a formal application for a training contract to commence in September 2008. The email also stated that the firm had my CV which was forwarded to them sometime back.

A few thoughts on this:

(1) The first of which is to give thanks for the work of another "angel". I wrote to him immediately to thank him for his assistance and believe that this is another provision from the LORD.

(2) This email comes just after I submitted my application to the firm mentioned in Episode 8 earlier. I believe this can be looked from many perspectives, including a possibility that the answers used in my earlier application can be used to fit this current application.

(3) I am more convinced that the LORD is teaching me to value the process more than the result. The 2 online applications I have made so far have made me learn alot more of myself as a person, my life and more importantly, the LORD's presence throughout. I pray that in this pending application, the LORD will impress upon my heart and mind what He wants me to include, rather than my own thoughts.

This application is perhaps more (if not the most) significant to me than any of the applications before. It is because as I am preparing the application, there is a resonating chime within my heart saying that "yes, this is where I want to be".

This then conjures up a possibility of going back home in August for a month to be reunited with friends and family before I begin my training contract in this City firm. This is the ideal situation for me and I pray that it will come to fruition at the appointed time.

So, as I close this entry, there is a window of opportunity that is standing before me right now and that as I pray for the Spirit's inspiration, I would be grateful if you could also remember me in your prayers as well.

SOLI DEO GLORIA!
