Need you guys to pray alongside me.. =)
Jason Wong, CEO of SCORE, came to speak at the staff devotion regarding his work in the prison minstry and about the Yellow Ribbon Project. This was about 2 months ago. Coincidently, my friend told me about a job opening in the prison about just the day before James Wong's sharing. After watching a video on an event SCORE organized - a reunion between the ladies in the Women's Prison and their children, I was moved and I want to be part of this. My interest in the prison ministry developed from there. I asked God to show me whether this was His will for me.
At the PCC/SM retreat at Salvation Army last month, I was introduced to Uncle Tok Khiew, a member of the PCC in our church, who's involved in the Prison Fellowship in S'pore.
Just last week, I met Timothy Khoo at a seminar and he's part of Prison Fellowship International and was stationed in New York for 4 years.
God has been bringing contacts to me. But I'm still confused because people tend to be more sensitive to things that interest them..you know what I mean? Like we look out for things that we're interested in. Aiyah.. I hope you guys know what I'm blabbering about.. =) Yah..so I don't know whether this is divine or whether I'm just being over-sensitive. My heart is for the women prisoners.
Come to think of it, it'll be better for me to work with younger offenders because it'll be quite wierd for the older ones to talk to me about their kids and all..and not being a mother myself, I wouldn't fully understand them anyway. And it'll be quite wierd for me to counsel them since they're probably older than me.
So I'm quite confused. I want to join Prison Fellowship International and be posted overseas.. =) but they're not employing. My stint in church is going to end in December. Really want to do full-time but sense that He wants me to go take a look at the 'real' world first.
Heh.. So do keep me in prayer. =) Please feel free to come to me if God is saying something to you, just in case I'm too dense to hear Him properly. Thanks for your patience! =)

God the Provider
Story I
i had my 1st real jehovah-jireh experience,YWAM-style! u noe how YWAMers always hv brilliant stories abt howGod provides 4 them..how money seems 2 come frm nowhere... well i had an experience like tt 2... =)
went back 2 the office on 27/07...barely sat down whena pastor handed me an envelope with my name written onit (duh!)... opened it up and found a hand-made cardand written inside it was "june...matt 6:33" and 2pieces of $100 dollar notes! Daddy God was so sweet!this happened juz after the thingy i went thru with mymum.. in summary, she was bugging me 2 give up wat i'm doingin church and get a "real" job... and i gotta put $$back in2 my dad's CPF account which he used 2 pay my uni sch fees...was quite broke as well coz my allowance came really late...and God surprised me with this extra sum of money...=)
Story II
I had the intention of getting a USB thumb-drive coz my home PC is giving me problems and is going to crash on me sooner or later. I want to back-up my files on the thumb-drive. So I asked P. Ian how much one cost. He told me ard $60-$80. I wasn't ready to part with this sum of money so I left it at that. Then one day someone blessed P. Ian with a thumb-drive. He told the other party that he doesn't need it but knows someone who does and gave it to me. This was how God blessed me with something I want..though I didn't ask Him for it. Guess He overheard our conversation and being the sweet gentleman that He is, decided to bless His daughter. =)
God is truly faithful even in times that we're not. =)
