The song 'Amazing' played on this blog has been aptly chosen, maybe also by divine appointment I believe. Everytime I listen to the song, it never fails to remind me of God's grace, taking me back to that place where I truly belong.
Whenever I walked the arrogant, proud way, the song never fails to 'slap' me on my face because it reminds me that my main purpose on earth is to worship God and all I live to do is really to worship Him. It might sound cheesy, but it is not.
I haven't had the same privilege as I did when Matthias was born to be with Ruth, seeing her day in day out for a whole month. I will not have that privilege to see her grow in her toddler years, and I truly regret that. I cannot do anything about it, because circumstance is such. As for Matt, well, the privilege has somewhat lessened, and will come to an end soon. My dear babes.
For the past 1.5 months of working, it has not been easy, particularly in adjusting to the working lifestyle where little time is left for myself. It was mainly about work, and I really questioned whether I was giving too much of my life to work that does not explicitly bless or make a difference in the society. In my mind it was mostly, "Is this what life is for?" kind of questions.
It was so timely that Pr Daniel had to preach on work. The series started last Saturday and will last for 3 weeks. Work is ordained by God. There is no dichotomy in the secular or God's work. They are the same. "Fwah!!!" And so I am slowly changing my attitude towards work, yet at the same time I know there is a limit too. I am learning and beginning to really enjoy my line of work, and have learnt so much. My boss is great, she is very gracious. I don't think I can find another boss like her outside. Although much is expected, she does not forget to give grace. So this is really a divine first job for me. I'm learning about video production, advertising, designing, copywriting, event management, catering, stress management and many more things, all at one go! It's very very challenging!
And the best part is, I am having loads of fun amidst all the stress. Did I tell you that we had a baking lesson too? More to come I suppose!
Aren't you amazed too that I actually spent so much time for the first time since July typing such a long post? ;)
grateful,
