2nd Day

Today is my second day to the rest of my life after college, I arrived at office 7AM, I started in the facility construction group, they showed me my office, it was huge with one side of the wall as window looking towards west Houston, I was just so full of awe, full of God�s goodness and his love. I remember a years ago I was in the same building upstairs as an intern, one day after finding out that Kerr-McGee did not hire anyone how had below a 3.2 GPA myself had a 2.8, I was thinking to myself �Oh Lord, why are you doing this to me, why did you put me here, why do you want me to taste something that I can not have, in my heart I have this burning fire to bring your good news to every corner of this earth and seems to me you going to use my job as an petroleum engineer to do that, but how is all this going to work out?�

I didn�t know who it is possible, but I knew that to God all things are possible, He brought to me his words, �1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual[] act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.� - Romans 12:1-2

I felt God was telling me you need not to be anxious Huan, come to me my burden is light and my yoke is easy, offer your self to me Huan, you don�t need to figure out your life all on your own, you don�t need to plot how you going to advance in your life, just come to me, and obey me you will taste my good pleasing an perfect will. I took His words and I hold on to it, last October He give me a gleam of what part of that will is like, Kerr-McGee offered me a job with salary that is top 3 in the whole department of petroleum engineering.

This week as I started my job, God just been throwing His goodness at me one after another, as a bridegroom impresses his new bride with all his riches. After I got into my office, they start to put together a computer for me, in the afternoon I got it, and it was a brand new ThinkPad, even better then my new laptop I brought last year, I was just so impressed, wow God you are just so faithful, and today I found out my annual salary had been raised by $2k more before I even did anything. And you know what is amazing, I been hoping to have some Christians around the office, and the platform I came to Christ two years ago is actually build by this very same group 8 years ago.

I felt so undeserving, that I really don�t deserve all this, there are guys in petroleum department what has the same GPA as I am, working in west Texas, in the field cranking the spool to lower logging tools into newly drilled wells, here I am sitting in this big office with air conditioning, I totally don�t deserve this, if it wasn�t for God�s graciousness I am still in the little town by the desert in China pumping gas at gas station with my childhood friends.

�Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things-and the things that are not-to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him. 30It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God-that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."
-1 Corinthians 1:26-31

I just fell like Gods hands had been guiding me all these years, putting me at the right places and right times so that I might finally be able to see Him, repent and finally come to a relationship with Him. That He is faithful to his words, and He is who He say He is.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." -Matthew 11:28-30

I know that difficulty will come to us soon, and I know when I am weary and burdened by things of this world and when I turn and repent and seek after my Lord my savior I will find rest, for his yoke is easy and his burden is light.
