AT WORK ON A SATURDAY EVENING
Fancy working on a Saturday evening?? That's what I'm doing now. Where most people are probably out with friends and family or attending to other commitments, I am right here in office preparing PowerPoint slides for our staff planning retreat next weekend in Bintan.
The idea to come back to work after cell group only popped into my mind today. This morning, I had ad-hoc work duties cos I was helping out with registration for a talk on ADHD conducted at the nearby CC. After I was done with that, I came back to office to do other stuff before going for cg. Cg ended around 4pm and since I didn't have any plans, and considering the fact that I would be away on course again, I gathered that I was very rushed for time to do up my programme's team discussion and report. What's more, I am slated to do a presentation on one of my training courses next Thursday morning. And the retreat is next Sat-Mon.
Have been feeling very stressed because of these... at times I feel at a loss with so many things to prepare and with many different things demanding my attention lately. But at cell group earlier, I felt God speak to me, telling me that I just needed to commit to Him whatever situation I am in and trust Him. I felt very encouraged, and I felt myself getting ready to trust God to work a miracle in my situation. I sowed an offering to the Lord, and it is the first time I sowed this specific amount in a cell group offering. It surprised me. In spite of feeling a pinch in my heart, I felt good about sowing this amount at the end. And I am happy that I gave.
We have heard that it is not the amount, but the attitude of the heart. Yet I also believe that God looks at our faith. Faith is an act and faith moves God. I believe God will grant me the wisdom and knowledge and provide me with all I need.
So here in office, I have done up to about 4 slides so far. I'm listening to Sun's songs at the same time hee... and being surrounded by my cute little soft toys, so much so that my colleagues recently commented that my workstation is fast becoming like a zoo!
Okok, it's getting late (and dark), guess I'd better not stay around for long. Going home for dinner with my parents. :)
