I was not very supportive of Rebecca applying for attachment to US disney, Florida. So is Anthony, due to dangerous freedom. When one do not know how to use freedom, it becomes dangerous. Yet the past one month many changes had taken place. From writing her 2 thousands words to school interview to US phone interview to now preparing stuff for the 5 mths attachment. She will only be back next year end of January.
Anthony and myself have sat down with her to sort out the matter. As parents we are concerned about the influence and impact in her life there. So we allow her to submit her essay. As I continued to pray for God's direction in her life. Corina, my prayer partner intercede together with me.
Somehow, She seems to find favour with God. I was horrific to know that we have to fork out about $7K for the attachment without including her personal expenses there. Yet the Lord got me to know that her educational insurance will be matured early July which I have forgotten about it. I bank in the cheque of almost $20K which arrived by post yesterday. Just in time, this was meant for her further studies which I took 18 yrs to save. I received at the right time. 18 yrs ago, I plan to help her pay part of university fee because the amount isn't big but now is to pay for her course in US and I believe God has taken care of it.
It was indeed her dream to go US disney for attachment, though the school at that point of time did not have such attachment. She was upset and was telling me about it. I was happy that there wasn't such attachment. She intended to apply herself but did not know the way to go about it.
Yet, for the first time TP managed to get the link. I was suprised when her dream came through.
From selecting polys to getting into TP, she got her first choice of school, first choice of the course she wanted, was amazing enough because I find it smooth sailing. The past 2 years, she struggled over the choices of her side courses at TP, yet most of the time she got the choice she wanted.
Never did God short change her. Even in jobs, she found favour with bosses as she is extremely hardworking. The past 2 mths, she works very hard trying to save her allowance in US as that she has to fork that out herself in our agreedment. I didn't want her to take for granted that everything is so easily provided for, she needs to be responsible for her part in it as well.
Last Saturday 4th July, Anthony got a company bungalow through balloting. We had not gotten one for several yrs. And this happen to fall near Rebecca's birthday on 5th July. So I allowed her to celebrate her birthday and also farewell to her friends. Everything seems to happen in a short time.
I was surprised that when she sum up her cash gift, she had $2.4K, beside her many other gifts. Later, I realised that my brother and Anthony's sister gave her $1K each. I was very shocked indeed. The Lord has provided for her.
I have shared with her that she needs to give her first fruit of her salary to the Lord in the form of tithing 10%. God may not bless you with money but you will know that when you give you will find favour with Him as this is due to God. She has regularly tith since her first part-time job.
The Lord has open window of blessings as written in Malachi 3:10.
So, I told her to stop working part-time and concentrated on her study and preparation. I believe God will take care of her since I have done my part praying for direction for her. I will have to accept what I cannot. Only God knows her destiny. My only desire is that wherever she goes, she must remember God's goodness and mercies toward her. Continue her journey with Him.
I recalled someone asked me, "You allow her to enter Hospitality and Tourism, so you don't mind her working in the casino in the near future when IR is up?" As christian, that person thought that I should have certain stand. This has not cross mind and I only thought that she probably do something about Tourism or Hotel managment. I was dumb founded and did not reply. I do not know what's the future await her. I was thinking that God can still use her to lead guest or tourist to Jesus in area like this. I have heard wonderful things from friends who work in the resort and lead some to Christ. So my perspective of ungodliness in such area of work has changed.
Well! I am glad the Lord has led her in the way He wants it. Rebecca's desires happen to come in line with Him. And she is asking something what He would grant her. So I will continue to pray that God keeps her mind and heart in Christ that whatever she asked she would ask in the will of God.
Lastly, after making a search in the internet where Hampton University is, I realised that it is not very far from my brother's place. He and his family staying in North Carolina with is about few hours away from the University and also Florida. At least, if anything happen he can get there before I do.
God's know my anxiety, yet of all the disney around the world, she is attached there. This does give me some assurance and peace of mind. If the Lord's willing, we might visit her there end of the year. For once I may find meaning visiting US. My husband says, we need to slaughter a golden goose to go. Well! shall see how, as the Lord leads.
