It’s been one month since I started work, yay! Am thankful for the people around me whose company I am beginning to enjoy more and more, the manageable work load for now which gives me time to read and learn & my mom who has been packing breakfast for me to bring to work. This dear colleague who sits opposite me loves to feed me: apricot, chocolate chip cookie, banana fritter… & I gladly oblige. Sometimes the after lunch sleepy syndrome just propels you to munch on something (chocolate, pocky, chewy junior, bubble tea…) to keep your brain alert. Which sadly, is making me gain weight, slowly but surely :( Been very reluctantly jogging to make myself feel less unhealthy. I hope I keep at this.
Still learning to be patient with myself and asking God to open up my eyes to the needs around me. Been praying specific prayers and God has been answering, in His time. Reminded again and again that people matter to God and no matter how much work I have accomplished that day, if it means it takes my eyes off the people around me, then there isn’t much to feel satisfied about anymore. So easy for me to just jab at my keyboard all day long, and be consumed by the need to finish that report, finish replying those emails, finish understanding this difficult concept or just be stuck in my comfort zone.
Still excited though, like Mr Greenie upstairs, to discover what this new stage of life brings. Eagerly anticipating the wonder when I realise and understand God’s plans in this season.
