I'm realizing more and more that God is the author of my life. He is the one who opens and closes doors as He pleases. I just went for an interview today... I don't think I've ever had a good interview, because I'm generally really bad with interviews. So coming to the end of the interview, I had kind of resigned to the fact that I probably would not get the job. You know that feeling when you leave the interview office, and feel like you didnt really impress the boss, and would have to start applying for more jobs soon?
But he offered me a job on the spot! Its really God's providence, because it really caught me by surprise! He also gave me an opportunity to work on one whole residential project on my own (with his guidance of course), seeing it through from design to completion! This is really an amazing opportunity, because it is so rare that bosses entrust an entire project on someone who does not have much working experience!
I was just thinking about what life is going to be like after I start work, and it really scared me. I suddenly had this feeling that I want to drop my church commitments because what if I cant cope? What if I come home late often and barely have enough time to sleep, let alone do my church stuff.
Then I came across this shocking news: Zaha Hadid died today. She was only 65, and one of the biggest female star architects. Who knows what could have caused her early death? Was it the late nights or the stress? Either way, I really dont want to fall into this trap of working like a dog and just getting things done day by day, and looking forward to the paycheck each month. Life is so much more than that. I hope that I will be able to set boundaries on how much is too much. Besides, who knows when God will choose to take me home to Him?
Ahhh... late night contemplations. lol.
