You know how some books say that a woman's gut feeling is usually quite accurate? I have to say that for myself. In recent weeks, I have been busy preparing for presentation slides for upcoming talks - one of which. the target audience was a group of 70 secondary teachers. During my 9 months as a dietitian, I have not any positive experiences with teachers.
As the day of the talk drew closer, I felt a sense of "fear" in me. Its not because I am afraid of public-speaking but more of the receptiveness of my audience. I got my caregroup to pray for me and Lisa, who was assigned to pray for me, prayed the prayer of faith. I don't exactly remember what she said, however, I caught bits of it. "...Influencer...Let wisdom flow out from mouth..Let rivers of living water flow out from the belly (John 7:38)".
However, today, I felt that for no reason, the talk will be cancelled. True enough, I made a phonecall to the person in-charge of talk(s) in the hospital and found out that it has been postponed till next Jan'08 as the current date clashes with O levels activities. I went, "YES!" (with a hand pumped in the air). I'm so happy!! Thanks for all who prayed.
I still learnt an important lesson while walking this journey, preparing the slides. Learning to trust in Him, for wisdom as I prepared the slides and my da jie who gave me pointers on how to tackle teachers. Ha!
Till the next post, I'm off to see my weight management patients!
