Moved House - Finally!

First of all, a belated blessed Christmas and a happy new year to all!

We just completed our house moving on 27 Dec and thank God that we took only 1.5 days to unpack all our stuff. It was interesting because we took 3 months to pack everything but only a very short time to unpack. We thank God for the strength and the speed to complete the unpacking in such a short time.

This draws an interesting analogy for me: The preparation period might seem long and tedious but when God moves, everything is accelerated. And actually the preparation is as important as the actual move. Without the preparation of packing, we would not be able to complete the move in a day's time. So if you are in the midst of waiting as God prepares you for your next season, be encouraged. All these years of waiting and period of preparation are not wasted. If not for the preparation, we would be ill prepared to move on to the next season quickly.

And when it is time to move on, there is usually an urgency because God has already done all He needed to do in us.  This is like Habakkuk 2:3, the revelation awaits an appointed time and though it tarries, wait for it. It will surely come and will not be a second late.

When we started year 2010, all these blessings were not manifesting yet. Pastor Lian was saying during Chinese New Year that although it might not seem like we are blessed in the beginning of the year, by the end of the year, we will see that we are 10 times more blessed than other people.

I couldn't see how I was more blessed than other people in the natural.  At that time, I was struggling with waiting for another baby and with issues at work. I wanted to leave this organisation but there were no signs of open door. But within the last few months (Sep-Dec), God turned everything around with the purchase of our condo. The rest of the things fall into place and I could finally realise my dream of staying home as a happy mother of children!

And now as we stay in this beautiful condo, we see the manifestation of God's blessings come to pass. Indeed we are 10 times more blessed at the end of the year and though we are still waiting for the manifestation of our 2nd baby, we trust that our appointed time is here. We have even prepared the nursery for her. God is not going to delay her coming and God will not be even one second late. Praise the Lord!
