I will never leave you....
When its time to go, its time to go....
On my first day at work, as I walked up the stairs for the first time, I knew that the day would come when I walked down it for the last time. I knew that God had opened the door for me to work in this company, however one day, He would require me to move on.
When did I know it was time to move on? I didn't. Every two years, I would ask God whether He still wanted me there. God had me move from position to position and program to program. As soon as I mastered a position, I was moved on to the next, no time to be complacent or complain.
I started as a producer of children's programs. I became a production coordinator of live shows. Then a production manager of drama serials. Whilst training to be a production manager, I assumed the duties of assistant director and facilities officer to understand the job scope. I even became the scheduler when no one wanted to do it.
The programs I was involved in were varied. Happy Times with Ronald McDonald, Disney Club Singapore, Live On 5, Roadshows, WTO Show, Growing Up, Triple Nine, VR Man.
When I finished season 4 of Growing Up, I felt that my time in TV was coming to a close. I felt the need to take stock and re-evaluate my life in the light of eternity. My time and energy could be better invested in things that would last into eternity. TV production is very temporal. My friend Siew Lee used to say, you are only as good as your last production. Out of sight, out of mind......
In fact, one day, my colleague came to ask me how long I had been in the company. He remarked that I was one of the few that had remained in the department for so long. Many of those who had joined the company at around the same time had left. I reflected and realised that I had spent my "20s" in the company! I had invested some of the best years of my life in this industry.
As I prepared to leave the company and after I left the company not knowing exactly what the next step was, God assured me through the following verse which came to me three times. Once in my personal time with the Lord, once in the material I was studying with the teen group, finally in the BSF material I was doing.
"I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" Hebrews 13:5b KJV
God was reassuring me that as I left the security of my comfort zone. He would never leave me nor forsake me. He never has and He never will.
Truly God is Faithful and True. He is dependable and reliable. He is El Olam, - the Everlasting God. To God be the glory!
