Let go, let God

It's not easy to let go of what I used to be and what I used to have, especially on the worldly possession. This year, I have learnt so much through the process of letting go and trusting in God's provision.

Before started my own family middle this year in Malaysia, I was working as a scientist in Singapore. I loved my work, especially when it gave me so much opportunities to learn and to grow my scientific knowledge/techniques as well as career prospect. I loved the projects which gave me a lot of satisfaction every time I completed them. Boss and colleagues were nice to work with as well (although not all the time ;P ). I was nominated for promotion and would have been promoted this year if I did not leave the job. I was at my most comfortable state already.





However good of all these, however comfortable I am, I had to let go. Frankly speaking, it wasn't easy at that point of time. Very difficult to let go, very difficult to get out of the comfort zone, very difficult to let go of the salary, career prospect, promotion and friends back in Sg. I was so near to my career goal already and I had to let go.

I might sound resentful. Yes, I resented in the beginning because I had to go against my self-centeredness, but soon, I came to realised that letting go isn't that difficult after all. By letting go, I have gained so much of what I have now. Not monetary, but a husband, a marriage, a new home, a new family, new relationships, more free time and closer to God. Sometimes, we just have to let go of certain things to gain more things in life. Change is scary and uncomfortable, I know, but that’s where growth lies. Letting go is hard work. In our case, it requires intense warfare against our self-centered nature. I'm very grateful to God for his teaching, provisions and his promises.

Year 2015 is really a good year. I can now bid it farewell with a smile.


Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.


I am so ready to welcome a new year 2016!
