I finally got a job!!! Last Friday, HR called me and told me I got the job, but the offer came in too low. This morning, God woke me up right before HR called me again. The offer is much closer to what I was making previously. It is a miracle of God because the offer is a huge jump from last Friday’s offer. I am currently waiting for the official offer from HR. However, I would like to share this good news with you and give glory to God!
For those who know me, the events that lead to this moment was nothing short of miracles after miracles.
4 years ago, I was down in the pits, to the point that I felt so hopeless in life. That was when Carol introduced me to Pastor Olivia and Joshua. Since then, I felt like God has been turning my life around, renewing my life. God helped me remove a lot of bad things/ people in my life, and restored and renewed a lot of things/ people in my life. Most importantly, God renewed my relationship with Him.
Even though I felt like I lost a lot in my life, especially since last year. God is restoring my health, my relationship with my children, the house we are staying in, relationships with others, etc. And although I got laid off last year, I lack nothing. And I even got the chance to be in Malaysia, Singapore and Japan in Feb to March of this year. My dream of spending Chinese New Year in Singapore came true (I haven’t spent Chinese New Year in Singapore for the last 18 years). The trip was sponsored by an unlikely person in my life. My son, Ryan, got baptized while we were in Malaysia, and my daughter has come to know the Lord recently! And now, I even found a job in this bad economy! I see the goodness of God! Everywhere I looked, I see God’s hand in it!
Let me tell you a little about this job I found. I have been looking for a job since I got laid off last year March. I prayed for God to direct my path – to close the wrong doors and open the one right door for me. I have only worked for 2 companies in Canada. The job market in Canada hasn’t been the best since Trump took office. I heard from HR of companies I applied jobs for that there was an average of over 700 to 800 people applying for a single role. So many people are out of job now in Canada. When I was rejected by companies, naturally I was sad, but God kept reminding me of my prayer to close all the wrong doors and open the one right door for me.
Remember that I said earlier that I only worked for 2 companies in Canada? I will be going back to the first company to work, and for the same role but with a higher pay. I remembered that Pastor Olivia prophesied over me that I will go back to work for my previous company. That was probably in 2024 when I went to Chiangmai to visit them. At that time, I said “No way!” to her because I had some unhappy thoughts about the people in that company. Ever since Pastor Olivia shared about the 30-days challenge to forgive, I have been praying to forgive those who hurt me.
On May 4, before I heard anything from HR about the new offer, I was praying for God’s favor. I was asking God why the 2 colleagues who were not Christians get positions created for them and now they are doing so well in their career. Whereas for me, I felt like I was forgotten and left behind. That was when I felt a wave of answers from the Lord. He showed me that His favor and grace is not little on me. On the contrary, even though I went through some really difficult times, He brought about a transformation in my life that no money or promotion or status can buy. These 4 years have been difficult, but I have grown to see God’s love moving through my whole family. He removed the bad and replaced it with His goodness. My children are coming back to the Lord, one after another. He is not even done yet, there is more to come!
Pastor Olivia and Joshua have helped me tremendously, praying for me, walking through the darkest times of my life with me. I am so grateful to God to bringing them into my life and pointing me to Jesus. They really show me Jesus’ love in what they do and say. I thank God for them for their love and support everyday. All glory be to God!!!

我终于找到工作了！！！ 上周五，人事部打电话给我，告诉我我得到了这份工作，但是报价太低了。 今天早上，上帝在人事部再次打电话给我之前叫醒了我。 这个报价与我之前提出的报价非常接近。 这是上帝的奇迹，因为这个报价比上周五的报价有了巨大的跃升。 目前正在等待人事部的正式录用信。 但我还是想把这个好消息分享给你们，并将荣耀归给神！
对于那些认识我的人来说，导致这一刻的事件简直就是一个又一个的奇迹。
四年前，我陷入了低谷，感到人生无望。 就在那时，卡罗尔把我介绍给Olivia牧师和Joshua牧师。 从那时起，我感觉上帝开始改变我的生活，更新我的生命。 神帮助我除去了生命中很多不好的事物/人，并恢复和更新了我生命中的很多事物/人。 最重要的是，神更新了我与他的关系。
尽管我觉得我的生活失去了很多，尤其是去年以来。 神正在恢复我的健康，我和孩子的关系，我们住的房子，和别人的关系等等。虽然我去年被解雇了，但我什么都不缺。 今年二月至三月我什至有机会去了马来西亚、新加坡和日本。 我在新加坡过农历新年的梦想实现了（我已经18年没有在新加坡过农历新年了）。 这次旅行是由我生命中一个不太可能的人赞助的。 我的儿子Ryan在马来西亚期间受洗了，我的女儿最近也认识了主！ 现在，我什至在经济不景气的情况下找到了工作！ 我看见了神的良善！ 我所到之处，都看到神的手在其中！
让我告诉你一些我找到的这份工作的情况。 自从去年三月被解雇后，我就一直在找工作。 我祈求上帝指引我的道路——关闭错误的门，为我打开一扇正确的门。 我只在加拿大的两家公司工作过。 自特朗普上任以来，加拿大的就业市场并不是最好的。 我从我申请的公司的人事部那里听说，平均一个职位有700到800人以上应聘。 现在加拿大有很多人失业。 当我被公司拒绝时，我自然很难过，但神不断提醒我祷告，为我关上所有错误的门，为我打开一扇正确的门。
还记得我之前说过我只在加拿大的两家公司工作过吗？ 我将回到第一家公司工作，担任同样的职位，但薪水更高。 我记得奥利维亚牧师曾向我预言，我将回到以前的公司工作。 那大概是2024年我去清迈看望他们的时候了。 当时我就说：“不行！”因为我对那家公司的人有一些不愉快的想法。 自从奥利维亚牧师分享了 30 天宽恕的挑战以来，我一直在祈祷宽恕那些伤害我的人。
5月4日，在我从人事部那里听到有关新录用信的消息之前，我正在祈祷上帝的眷顾。 我问上帝为什么这两位非基督徒同事得到了为他们设立的职位，而现在他们的职业生涯却做得这么好。 而对我来说，我感觉自己被遗忘了，被抛在了后面。 就在那时，我感受到主的回应浪潮。 他向我表明他对我的恩惠和恩典并不少。 相反，尽管我经历了一些非常困难的时期，但他给我的生活带来了金钱、晋升或地位都买不到的转变。 这四年很艰难，但我逐渐看到神的爱在我的整个家庭中流动。 他除去了坏的，并用他的良善取而代之。 我的孩子们一个又一个地回到主身边。 他还没有完成，还有更多的事情要做！
Olivia牧师和Joshua牧师给了我很大帮助，为我祈祷，陪我走过人生中最黑暗的时期。 我非常感谢上帝将他们带入我的生活并将我引向耶稣。 他们的言行确实向我展示了耶稣的爱。 我感谢上帝每天给予我的爱和支持。 一切荣耀归于神！！！
