I was the only one still awake to do what I was supposed to do; sending out resumes. And just when I thought I found a good contact, then my laptop behaved weirdly. So I had to cool it down.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>While I was waiting for it to cool down, I did the next productive thing which I had been wanted to do; to sort out my papers and books. So I took out a box, then started to sort through my &#8216;precious&#8217; books.<\/p>\n<p>I had quite difficult moments to decide which one to give away and which ones to keep. And somehow, as I glanced on my collection, I can&#8217;t help but notice that they belong to theme of Mission and Jesus. Basically, from all the books, if they&#8217;re not about Jesus, then they&#8217;re about Mission.<\/p>\n<p>It took a toil on me because it took longer than I expected to decide on the books to be given away. So I resumed my resume activity. And after a short time, my laptop behaved weird again. By this time, I had no choice but to give it a rest.<\/p>\n<p>And I started to sort out my papers. It was easier, I threw out quite a lot. Then I read a news update from OM. Somehow, my eyes kept reading from one story to another. And at the end, I thought I recapture my long lost passion back. Something within me that burns brighter and stronger than looking for IT jobs.<\/p>\n<p>But I know that God has put me in IT for a purpose. And I could only pray,&#8221;Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.&#8221; I felt challenged through the reading of the newsletter. What Hudson Taylor said,&#8221;God&#8217;s work done in God&#8217;s way will never lack God&#8217;s supply.&#8221; And today, my eldest girl has already 5 years old. That means I&#8217;ve not looking into this arena of mission for 5 years. How time flies.<\/p>\n<p>So I took the first step, to pray. The next steps would be to give and to go. The next step would be our family thing. This thing won&#8217;t be only about me, but something which we would commit together as a family. May God help us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The children had already long gone to bed, and my wife was on bed too.
