God Answers Prayers!


I'm so overwhelmed by what God can actually do to help me in situations when I think there's a very slight possibility of a breakthrough. This is regarding the application for the overseas internship at Shenzhen.

What can you do when your parents are against the idea of going to Shenzhen, China for an internship? I mean strongly against here, they have this perception of Shenzhen being the most un-safe place in the world and because of this, I've been having arguments over this issue with my mum who is the more 'paranoid' of my parents.

So, I just commited this whole internship issue to God, just telling Him that I'll just leave it in His hands, if I were meant to have a wonderful and enriching experience through this internship, He'll move obstacles out my way and provide me with help.

And within 2 days, I got the help I needed. And it came from YOUIE! HEHE, her uncle's younger bro is actually the VP of the company that I was applying for! and she helped me a great deal by telling me its an established firm plus she even gave me a contact whom has interned in the company before. The girl that I can call up was so helpful and told me so much more about working in Shenzhen and how the city is like. And the reply I got is what I wanted to hear. The industrial park in which the company and the expat apartments are located are safe and provides transport around the industrial park even late into the night. I got the assurance that Shenzhen is really not that dangerous place to work and live in.

Even Ricky, the person in charge was encouraging me to pursue this opportunity and reassured me that I can do it and do well during the interview. He even gave me a tip to mention during the interview, that I have a friend working in the same department as me. (that is Qiu Xin by the way, my fellow project mate).

And my dad is totally behind me now after hearing this news! He was like, "WOW such a small world!" I can hear from his voice that he's relieved and will support this decision if I do managed to get the internship. All there is now, is to persuade my mum and my aunt. Half the battle is won! And I thank GOD for providing me this massive help!


So so so amazed at what He can do!! I know, I'm not even half way there in the application process and yet to even go for the 1st interview. Nevertheless, I'm still very overjoyed.

Thank you so much, Youie!

The ultimate thanks-giving to GOD who proves to me yet again, that His Sovereign help and His goodness reigns over any difficult and daunting circumstance!

"He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters" -Psalm 23:2

Woo!.. Strange, I haven even got a confirmation for the internship but I'm so happy already=)
