Before enrolling in 611 Bible school, I was a senior nursing officer.
… “Our identity is found in being a daughter of our Heavenly Father and the rest of our identities will disappear.” God knew that I had been fearful of losing power and identity. He untangled all the knots in my heart, helping me to lay down all my stubbornness and enabling me to enjoy my identity as a daughter of our Heavenly Father.
From my teenage years, I had been very sure about being an “angel in white”, to help and look after the sick. God had also guided me into doing medical care and health services, enabling me to help many people. I thought this was my life’s ambition and God’s destiny for my life, as it was my work passion as well.
In 2020 God called my husband to study at 611 Bible School. Due to the pandemic, the lessons were held online, and as a result I was also drawn to the lessons. Every morning my husband would get up early for morning devotions, and online sharing with his classmates, with joy and interactive discussion. A fire for God was fanned into flames as he became more humble and more submissive to his authorities. He always encouraged me to resign and study with him in the Bible School. Out of my admiration for my husband’s experience at the Bible School, I presented my request to my institution. I requested one-day of work per week in order for me to study at the Bible School, while keeping my service at the institution. Praise God that in 2021 I was admitted to the Bible School as a full-time student.
The lessons taught us that our faith came from our interaction with God. We ought to listen, respond, discard our old selves, and put our trust in God alone. In the “Breath of the Tree of Life” class, the most thrilling class, our three heavy-weight pastors taught us in an easy and interactive way. This teaching deepened my understanding of the submission to authority, and the application of the Truth of God to real life.
Bible School was not only the place where I was taught Bible knowledge, but also where the Holy Spirit kept confronting me and touching me. I was stirred to ponder about returning to the marketplace once I finished my studies at the Bible School. Finally, God gave me the answer during a lesson. The teacher said, “Our identity is found in being a daughter of our Heavenly Father and the rest of our identities will disappear.” God knew that I had been fearful of losing power and identity. He untangled all the knots in my heart, helping me to lay down all my stubbornness and enabling me to enjoy my identity as a daughter of our Heavenly Father. For this reason, I resigned from my favorite job last September, pouring my whole heart into Bible School. Above all, unexpectedly and gratefully, my husband and I were called by Pastor Joshua and C-Mo to become co-workers at the church. We are now being nurtured in the community of the Tree of Life. The pledge I made, when I was young, to serve God has now also become a reality. (Before admission, she was a senior nursing officer.)
