SA: II – knowing God’s provision by Faith

Ever since the first day, God has shown miracles after miracles in our venture. Beginning from the pairing of us consultants to the clients to all the reconciliation and marketplace miracles happened in the venture. Even the very roommate that we have, God has a plan for it and He is truly providing for us.

Looking back to the day I first joined the training, I believed I am one of the first people who went up to Dena, our financial person, to ask her about funding stuff. I was like “omg the training is sooo expensive and we have to pay for the trip too! I don’t think I can afford it” and Dena’s response was “ God will provide don’t worry”. I looked at her and thought “ya right, Is easy for you to say” :P

But still I felt that God had called me to go, so I kept on going with the training and started doing my fundraising. It took me a while to actually get started, at one point I wondered why couldn't God just put money in my bank acc haha!!, but He had better plan. If it was not because of fundraising I wouldn’t be able to share with so many people about my faith. And God has put many people through the past couple month in my life to support me and used my story to touch other people’s life in a way that I would never thing I could’ve ever done it, given the fact that I am not a well-spoken person or someone who know a whole lot about bible or life.

Other than financial provision, He continued to provide me throughout the trip. I remembered there were many times that I wasn’t sure what to do with my client, what to do with my co-consultant and what to do with my scorecard and other deliverable. Everyday, I would pray to God over my problems and the very next day, prayer answered. I had never seen God answering prayer so quickly and so faithfully. I remembered in one of the un-structure day, which we normally we would go to the client’s office and check out the company, meet the employees and work on our scorecard. But that day, my client had a meeting to go, so instead of visiting his company and scorecarding, I together with my co-consultant, went to the meeting with my client. I was going to take some note and observe how he interact with his client. However, due to the limiting space, we weren’t able to sit with the clients and ended up sitting on the other side of the room. I wasn’t able to hear all the conservation clearly, so instead of trying to take note, I started to pray and ask God to come and be present in this meeting. I asked that He will let my client feel and see His presence, He will give my client wisdom and strength on the work he is doing with his client, and He will be with him throughout the meeting. I kept on praying and praying, non-stop for 2 hours. After the meeting was done, my client came up to me and asked me if I were praying for him because he had never had a meeting run so smoothly that they were about to finish everything on the agenda in just 2 hours which normally would take them a day to go through. God, again, answered my prayer right at the spot.

There are stories after stories on how God provide for his people and I actually see that happened in me and also in our teammates on the trip.

Have faith and he will provide!
