It seems this past week I've been doing nothing but waiting. The rest of forever seems to begin after the interview on Tuesday. I sure hope I'll make a good impression, because there is so much resting on it. After that, the only things that are left to do are:
1. Fundraising for the coming year. I hope to raise $5,000 for each month, I still have to continue praying over this budget to see if this is what God intends for me. Naturally if it is then I'll get my funds, but I'll still need to put in some hard work in sharing about my cause.
2. Decide when to start. I have to really pray over when God would like me to start. Starting as soon as possible would be good, because I'll have something to do, but I really would like to catch up with some old friends, and share with new ones about what I'm planning to do in the coming year.
3. Packing and spending time with my family. I do want to pack and clean as much as I can before I go. And even though I'll still be in Hong Kong, I'll be living on my own on the other side of Hong Kong when I get there. I'll have to pray over what to pack as well, as I am determined not to bring my computer, but I do want to take a camera and keep my friends and family up to date.
On the side of these things, I am still working towards regaining my restfulness and losing my fatigue before I go, as I'll really need to work hard at the orphanage to secure a paid position for next year.
But all these are still an if, depending on how Tuesday turns out. I am a little anxious, but I know God will be with me and I will do fine so long as I trust Him to take care of me. There are alternatives, but being stubborn, I won't consider them until I am sure this leads to a dead-end, because I am really certain that this opportunity is meant for me. So I'm going to make the best of it.
What's really surprising me is that a few people, both online and in real life, have mentioned that they can sponsor me. I don't know the amounts yet, but it is already very edifying to receive their support. I've signed up for Paypal and am going to open a new bank account for this. Paypal turns out to be a lot harder to use than I thought. I actually have to do some scripting to get their buttons and pages to work, which is something that I can do with my time now. Hopefully, it'll turn out alright.
On a lighter note, it's finally Sunday. I'll really savour this Sunday, as it will be one of my last ones that I can spend with my friends and family at KIBC. There's a meeting tomorrow, I hope there'll be time left after the meeting for me to catch up with the youth. And I hope we're not having pizza, but since I didn't raise the issue, we'll probably have pizza again. I wonder if we can change it to Meatlovers instead of just Pepperoni.
Thanks again for taking interest, pray for good news and a good week! =)
God bless.
