February 14th is a very special date for me. No, am not into the crazy romantic love celebration thingy..
Somehow, this date have a significant impact to me, because I believe God spoke to me very specially on this date, both 5 years ago and today.
Exactly five years ago, God revealed the company name that He wants me to register and start operating. I had no names in mind until minutes before I stand in front of the company registrar to register for a new company.
God revealed the word “Audentia”, which means boldness in Latin. God spoke to me and encouraged me to be bold and courageous to step out in faith and believe in God to provide for me. God is my boss and financial provider, not the secular world.
Five years have passed and God have never failed to provide. I have learnt new technical skills and my confidence rose. Though without stable income, my husband and I managed to pay our house rental and eventually, miraculously, purchase a home.
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
Interestingly, my clients are mostly Christian, not by my selective choice, but by God’s special divine way of connecting me with them, and working for/with them. God is faithful to us from the moment I stepped out in faith to quit my full-time job and start my own companies.
For many years, I didn’t think that I will get married one day, especially, after had many bad past experiences. Every year, since I got married, my husband who is actually a very simple man, never fail to sweetly surprise me with flowers and simple sweet gesture. His actions remind me of how God truly love us. Simple gestures yet with bountiful love.
This very morning, God revealed the name “Overcomers by Faith” for this blog that I have desiring to start for years. I have been waiting for the right name for this blog, but somehow, I could not to find the right name. I tried to start a blog few times before, but the name just does not feel right. Finally, this feel right and perfect.
Having said that, I don’t need to celebrate Valentine’s day to remind me about God’s goodness and love. But I will always remember Feb 14th as a special date that God impress upon me to push forward and step out in faith to start a new journey with Him.
