God is in the picture

Friday, July 21, 2006


i overslept and woke up at the time i was supposed to work. imagine my horror when i saw the clock display 8am!!! anyway i was also feeling sick in the stomach...felt like appendicistis (is that how u spell it?) and i was so worried...thought abt the worst! that i would have to go for operation. ha...i'll nv know right? health cannot be taken for granted.. but thank God it went away later in the day. though my day started on an off key, i have things to be grateful to God for.

I can see God blessing each day in my life.
1) friendly colleagues
2) nice working environment
3) I like kids, I see them at work!
4) Financial providence
5) Happy mood at work
6) Non-critical and easygoing supervisor! Very impt cos he will be the one to assess me and at the end of the day whether I get to stay.
7) A workload that is manageable for me
8) Nice food at the coffeeshops nearby!
9) My breath today!
10) My health today!

A person appeared at my workplace yest. His sudden appearance freaked me out! I did not know what to do…I do not wish to see him. He lingered in the store for quite a while, while I stayed in the kitchen, not knowing what to do...and i kinda talked to God that i wished that he would leave the store...i dunno what would make him leave but i just told God anyway. then u know what?
while i was still panicky in the kitchen, my manager came and told me he left!!! i almost wouldn't believe it cos that guy would always wait nfor me till i finish work and send me home. u mean he is gone? gosh...but this incident taught me a very practical yet essential wisdom- i should not disclose my address easily or let acquaintances send me home, esp males. i've learnt. learnt the panicky way. and i will remember, cos no more next time for me!!!

i've come to realise an important lesson which i believe God is convicting me about- it is as if God is saying to me " hey dear, i love the one whom u sat beside on the bus this morn, yes the one whom smelled like he hasn't bathed for days. i love the one whom you see are not very capable or able according to the world's standard."
ps: yes, it is true this guy who smelled so bad i wished i could just stop breathing, of all places, sat next to me on the bus!!! and i tolerated his stink for the whole 25mins till i drop off? and he dropped off the same stop as me!!! how bad can it be? super duper suay lor!!! and i think i was very stupid to have stayed in the seat!!! but i thought, ok la, just put up with it, i must be accepting mah, i am a Christian. ha...quite lame excuse right? but that is what i thought. cos i actually think God placed him beside me for a reason! for what reason, i dunno la! but what happens is God's will, so i submit lor. Hope that smelly guy go bathe before his next trip out man, and spare stupid folks like us "pollution"!!!

i led cell today and i felt good during and after the cell. reason cos i think i did a pretty good job of teaching the lesson! ha...so bhb right? but i was really happy with myself when i saw them reflecting upon the topic and being able to give answers which were honest and true, answers which were supposed to be the answers. also, the discussion touched on personal issues and each of us were willing to share our fuzziness and confusion about God's vision for our lives. I thank God that he use me to spark off that meaningful discussion. I thank God that he ministered to us in this lesson that i taught. haha...okay do i sound super bu yao lian to keep mentioning myself? ha....no la, God should get all the glory!!! Amen! and i was feeling so tired before cell but left refreshed! Praise God for being with us!

how great you are
how great you are
You are the mighty KING
and You've come to REIGN in me
give thanks with a grateful heart
give thanks to the HOLY ONE
give thanks
because He's given JESUS CHRIST his son
