It has been different ever since I opened up about my intentions for next year.
There is more peace. And even though difficult things abound, I am able to see them objectively and more important, brave up to face those difficult situations.
Milestones were made. Last night I initiated to sit down and talk with my brother on his situation. It was a very eventful sit down session. As family, we rarely sit down to talk over things like that.. In fact I think we never talk like this. Somehow in our family, we think problems will disappear by themselves. I believe this is something passed down by my father. He doesn't seemed to be bothered by the problems and how it affects the family. And yes, they did go away, but it was my mother who acted on it.
Anyway,, I thought last night was good.. using his job-seeking experience as a key, it has given me a platform to help him see how he has handle and sees things, that are reflected in his job-seeking venture. Some comments I can see are direct and hurtful, but necessary. He has to learn to see things out of his own angle. That things are not as simple as he thinks they are. And change is necessary.
Anyway, I think i did quite well. I did not make it feel as if I am talking down to him, and tells him he has made progress, but more can be done. Anyway, that's my own review...
Next milestone... I am affirmed of my career path. 1st of all, my edit of chinese translation received approval from the client, with 95% passed! It was one of the things I asked God to confirm to me if I should go take up the translation course. And this morning, before I asked, B. asked me over MSN, before he board the plane, if I would like to help him translate his brochure.
How closer can I get?
I am just so thankful and glad that when I decide to close a door, another is opened.
Also, when I met PGH for lunch, I was undecided whether or not to tell her about my decision at the end of the year. Before that, she was saying if it is possible, the youth ministry welcomes me into the ministry. I finally told her, just before we parted ways. And surprisingly, she told me, I am not the only one who has express that thought. In fact, I am the 2nd person she knew of today who has express possibility of leaving QBC... Which means.... I don't know. Is God trying to put something across to the church?
There's so much changes going on, and happening very fast... What is our response to them?
