Jesus - My Valentine

How precious it was for me that I spent my Valentine's day in the House of God. Pastor Benjamin touched on the topic of relationships - Guarding my heart and preparing it for a relationship. Just when I found myself having alot of questions re relationships, God used Pastor's mouth to speak His oracles. How apt!! And it was also interesting to receive a V-day present since it has been awhile since I last received - in Sec. 4. Coming from an all-girls school, we just loved giving presents to others - who says V-days are just for lovers? Its also meant for rekindling of friendships.

Anyway, at GenRev service yesterday, I was caught by surprised when Han, the emcee, read out my testimony. In fact, I did not even know whether the ministry received it since I never received any acknowledgment. Anyway, to bless the readers, here's the testimony that I submitted!

Dear Pastor Benjamin

I want to share with you, God’s super abounding favour in my career. During one of the caregroup (CG) session on 17 January, I had a prayer request for my application for a Sports Nutrition course.

In fact, I have been trusting God to be able to attend the course since last year. However, as I just entered the workforce and joined the department, I was not eligible for any course/conference sponsorship then. Nevertheless, I hung onto the hope that I will be able to pursue the course.the start of the year, I decided to check out details of the Sports Nutrition course, as my interest was re-ignited after my boss informed my colleagues and I that the hospital is expanding various medical specialities such as Sports Medicine. When I visited the Sports Dietitian Association’s website (which offered the Sports Nutrition course), I was elated as the course dates for 2009 will be in early May. I took a leap of faith and applied for the course while at the same time talking to my boss about the possibility of sponsoring the course. However, my boss mentioned that the hospital will at most, sponsor the course fees and I had to pay the rest of the expenses out of my own pocket. Deep within me, I muttered a silent prayer for DaddyGod to provide full sponsorship if He wanted me to attend the course. That week, while my CGL asked for prayer request(s), I submitted mine in.

Less than a week (on Thursday, 22^nd January), I received an email from the course co-ordinator regarding the outcome of my Sports Nutrition course - my application has been accepted!!! And, I spoke to my boss that morning about the outcome of my application and enquired about the course sponsorship. She told me that the hospital will be sponsoring my course FULLY - with no bonds i.e. my course fees + accommodation + air tickets!!! AND, while speaking to my university friend that morning, I found out that she also applied for the same course and we will be going for the course together. I can't believe how blessed I am!!! Indeed, DaddyGod really answers our prayers exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think. And I thank the Lord for his super abounding favours.
