Opportunities coming

Back in 2007, I applied for a job. I knew the interview went very well. It would have been for a huge promotion - it was paying $10,000 higher and it was permanent - I was on a contract. Then God gave me a dream. I was on a big black boat at the front and the boat sped through murky brown water filled with crocodiles. It sped into a caged enclosure. I jumped off the front of the boat onto the side of the wired cage and started climbing. I was lethargic and realised I was trapped. I woke up knowing not to take the job, despite how great it seemed in the natural. It was hard trying to explain to the Chairman of the interview panel how suddenly I was not interested in the job I had only just said I was the best candidate for and really wanted! Better to obey God though. The job would have involved allocating funding grants to religious "Christian" organisations. Crocodiles are symbolic of the religious spirit and the murky water was not good.

Then in 2012, I applied for another job, different department. God gave me a dream. I was standing on a platform and had the choice to board a boat. The boat was quite small - it was made of wood and brown and in a really bad shape. It was dirty and full of holes and looked very unstable. As I stood beside it, it capsized twice and then sunk a little bit and then came back up. I knew it would be very dangerous to board the boat. I woke up knowing God did not want me to take the job.

I have not applied for any jobs recently, but then just two weeks ago, I had a dream. I was on the back of a medium-sized boat that was being driven / steered by someone else. The boat was in the river and it was clear water and fine weather. The sun was shining and it was beautiful. The boat was being steered by a very competent person and it was meandering across the river between small boats and lots of things on the water. I was very impressed by the scene and very happy in my heart. I was standing with a guy at the back of the boat - possibly my future husband. I woke up and immediately thought about my last two boat dreams. I am wondering what this dream relates to because i have not applied for any jobs ... but possibly it is a ministry-related dream, as i have felt to transition into a new church.

Dodgy Strata Manager gone

Today a miracle happened that is worth noting down. For the last few months, I have been troubled by the revelation that the Strata Manager employed for my complex is dodgy. Not only is she totally unresponsive to emails and phone calls, but I also suspect she has been taking money from all the villa owners and doing nothing with it. It's been grieving my heart and I have been trying to get advice on what to do about her - complicated by the fact that I am the only owner occupier.

Well, what a surprise to get a letter in the mail today saying she had resigned! Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. I am so stoked.

New season

My wonderful Korean housemate moved out yesterday after eight weeks. Kind of sad but happy same time. She was by far the best housemate I've ever lived with - she was clean, quiet, always turned lights off, filled up the kettle after using it, cleaned up after herself, took care of her room, kept all her things and my things in order, pushed chairs in, cleaned the shower drain, loved my cooking, was always respectful, never made noise despite staying up late at night, etc... seriously, could not have asked for a better housemate. It's like God sent her as a blessing to me to pay my rates and get me through a hard time financially.

PRAISE the Lord.
