morning person

morning everyone... haha... tho it's either really wee hours of the morning or late into the night that most of you read my posts...

just a very morning person... slept well so thought i'd wake up to do some stuff before i head off to work today. yup... need to work today... but it's a photography course thing arranged by my colleague... so should be fun... nothing high tech or extremely cheem i believe...

work's been great this week. been busy and given some tasks that i've never been given before... and the authority to do stuff with it... not just a liaison person... so praying that God will grant me wisdom and lead me through, and hope it'll bear fruit... =) it's great working knowing that you spend every minute doing work... decided on and was very convicted at how i used my time at work... so basically set out to use every minute to worship and honour God by giving of my best at work. slip up now and then, but that's just the time to confess my sin and set my focus right and get right back and serve Him at work.

it's amazing how He works when i go with such an attitude... Spending time with Him opens new perspectives for me and i thank God for revealing such impt truths to me. It's truly all Him, and none of me...every blessing is wonderful, every problem an opportunity to be moulded... when i look at life this way, everything's good... and indeed it is... cos He gives good gifts, He knows my every thought and His ways are above my ways, His plans above my plans.

All i can do i to love Him with all my heart, my soul and my mind. that alone keeps me busy and yearning everyday...

Praise God for His bountiful love and grace... Have been learning about patience this week. Makrothumia... it's patience in dealing with people with mercy... i am ashamed at how merciless i can be towards pple. left unchecked, i believe we all judge others almost everyday... but as the Word says, we often make a big deal abt the speck in someone's eye and blatantly ignore the plank in our own... seeing how unmerciless i can be, i look to God and realise how merciful He is to man who have snubbed Him, blamed Him, bochapped Him and grieved Him... We probably will never be able to comprehend the full extent of His love and grace, but we can appreciate it and learn not to take it for granted.

May we glorify Him with our lives in everything that we do. May our lives be a sweet sacrifice unto Him daily... Through us, may He do great and marvellous things... May He work through our unworthy lives to bring glory to His name and others to know of His goodness and grace.

I thank God for my loving family, wonderful fiance, great friends, colleagues who care and for every single minute of breath.

thank God for a complaint

  1. to receive a complaint means i'm alive to receive it
  2. to hear the complaint means i can hear
  3. to take the call means that i have hands that can hold the phone
  4. to cry means i have eyes and tears
  5. to be overwhelmed to tears means i am not an unfeeling piece of metal
  6. to be at the brunt of a complaint at work means that i have a job

i know that God has a plan and a purpose and i thank Him for taking the time to teach me valuable lessons.

For I know that He is with me and to be able to view a seemingly unfair situation through His eyes is truly an amazing eye-opener.

So thank God for the complaint.

Looking at a complaint this way really shows me how much i have to be thankful for. I'm not complaining... =)
