I want to praise God for His unfailing love and grace upon me . He really taking care of me and never leave me alone. (Psalm 31:1-24:)
2. Work in TSC (How I get to know this kindergarten and work here)
I started working here in January 2003. Before that , I studied LCCI in year 1997. Then I worked in different places; in factory, bible seminary, kindergarten, temporary teacher. Then, in year 2002, I went to study in a Bible school in Seremban for one year .
In fact my study was supported by my church , because I got applied for church sponsor, every month my church gave me RM300 allowance for my study . That’s why I was thinking after I complete my study , I want to help in the church. So I just prayed for it, but I didn’t tell anyone especially my church deacon member or elders. I only told to God. Then , during the term break in September 2002, I came back to Klang. As usual, I attended church service (Chinese worship), after the service, one of the church elder (deacon) came to me and said “Geok Pei, I want to talk to you”. He said “GeokPei, if you think you want to work in the church, it is not possible, you are not allowed to work in the church, go other place and work.” That time I was very shock, because I never thought that he will talk to me like that, so direct and straightforward. Because I never tell to anyone that I wish to work in the church , I only tell to God. But through this incident, I know it is God’s will. Somehow I have to submit to God and tell Him to lead my way.
Later in November 2002, I had a short holiday & came back to Klang. My elder brother working in MBS Klang , his colleague told me that their noticeboard had a vacancy notice (Tadika looking for a clerk). So I asked for the tadika’s contact number and typed my Resume then I pass to Ms. Rina, she’s a MBS staff also and she was a Glad Tidings church member. She help me to pass my details to the principal, (that time was Sister Siew Beng). Later I received Sister Siew Beng’s call for an interview. Then, after I finish my study in Seremban, in final week of December 2002, I went for the interview and got the job. She asked me to come in January first day when the school reopen on 6th January 2003.
I was quite happy and thank God that I have been offered the job. After enjoy my December holiday and the Christmas. Supposed 6th Jan. is my first day to work. But on the 5th that night, I fell very sick. I woke up at 11pm something and whole body sweating, and high fever,. After that, my second brother (that time my elder brother was in Sabah) and my mum brought me to the Klang G.H. We were waiting in emergency department for few hours . In between got people sent to hospital with injury from accidents. I was feeling very cold and tired and started lying in my mother’s lap. After that my brother take care of me because my mum said she ‘s very tired cannot tahan already, so she slept for a while. We waited until 3 o’ clock then finally were able to see the doctor. After gone home, I took the medicine and sleep until the next morning, get up, called sister Siew Beng , informed her that I am very sick and cannot go to work. Actually inside my heart I think that, “Maybe it is not God’s will for me to work in Tadika” , I think I want to quit already , because first day work already sick and absent. But sister Siew Beng told me , ‘you can rest at home in the morning, but you must come in the afternoon ’, I think ‘Ha! I still need to come, ’ Although I was really not willing to come , yet finally I came also, and I had a good time with Sister Siew Beng, she shared with me and also prayed for me . Then she tell me that I can go home and rest, provided that tomorrow must come to work. So I went home and had a good rest. Actually I took few days to fully recover from the sickness but I really thank God because at that time, my mother, my second brother really take care of me. I pointed out this because it is a never-forget memory in my life.
I feel very happy working in the Tadika, always think that this is not merely a school but it is a God’s ministry for all of us. When we serve the parents, the children or staff, at the same time we are serving God also, and I believe that one day God will give us the reward if we serve him faithfully. Actually before I come for this interview, I didn’t even pray very hard for it, because I thinked that I wanted to work in outside company , because I also have an accounting diploma, I thought I want to find a job in Audit company or work as an accounts clerk. But somehow God didn’t open the way for me and ‘because my mum’ encouraged me to apply for this tadika’s job, “o.k. loh I apply loh ” . That time I think if I cannot get this job, I can still go for other options, find a job in other organizations. But, Because of my mum I didn’t go for other interview .
(After 2005 ) I Thank God, if that time I really want to quit, I won’t be in Tadika today. Thank God that He also provide our needs, now my elder brother still working in MBS Bible Seminary and second brother working in Kepong Methodist church (started from March). And also thank God that He gives me a chance to study in Wawasan Open University taking distance learning course, and I have just completed one year of the program. After my mum and dad passed away on 12/10/05; 17/1/06 , I miss my mum very much , I always cry and ever think that don’t know how am I going to continue the days of my life because I was very closed to my mum, she is the only one that really understand me and listen to my problems, my cry and prayed for me everyday. Yet I experienced many people care and love for me , example my second brother, church members, my relatives, and teachers , even my second brother is the one that really taking good care of me. It make me feel that, I am not lonely in the journey.
The most important is that, I have a God – Jesus Christ that is always there for me, He hears my problems , my cries, I can full rely on Him and trust Him because He is trustworthy. He is Forever-Living God, He love me very much and died for me two thousand years ago, forgive my sins and rise again after 3 days, thereafter He never die ! He says He’s Abraham, Isaac, Jacob’s God, He’s my mother’s God and He is also my God. I love one memory verse in Job 19: 25 says “I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God.” 1st Thessalonians 4: 13-18 also gives me the hope , it says about second coming of Jesus Christ , it gives me a hope that someday I will meet my parents again – in the heaven and we will live with God eternally. So I would also like to encourage all of you to continue to live our lives with God’s purpose , and God will award us for being continue walking with Him faithfully. Thank you.

WHEN I REMEMBER HE DIED FOR ME,
TO THE WORLD I WILL NEVER RETURN.
NO ! NO ! NO NO NO!
TO THE WORLD I WILL NEVER TURN BACK,
NO ! NO ! NO NO NO!
TO THE WORLD I WILL NEVER TURN BACK. 后记：每当我回想起5/1/2003生病的那段经历时，我会认为，“那是撒旦的攻击。”若是我在当时真的被“击败”的话（因为我认为是主的意思不要我去幼儿园工作），也许我的经历就要完全改写了。感谢上帝！他保守“我的脚未曾滑跌”，他是一位信实的上帝！愿一切尊贵荣耀都归于他！啊们。
