Sniff.. sniff.. lost me glasses in Spore... How could i ever lose something like that??? Careless me... sigh... gotta buy one soon... my long fringe + no specs is causing regular headaches..
TWO - Perfect job?
Nothing is perfect and certainly no job is perfect... Even if there is a perfect job one would either become 1) workaholic from loving the perfect job or 2) no challenges/difficulty thus nothing new to learn. Hardship is not a nice thing to go through but it is only through hardship do we mature and be better after passing that hardship - bottom line dont give up easily - eventually you will look back - laugh about it or either be amazed how you got through it.
Sigh... i shall have to remind myself that very thing... Hang on to the boat in the storm as any storm WILL eventually let up... and of course the footprints story..
THREE - Work Worries
We spend most of our lives working. And we are told not to bring our worries of work back home - get home and just before you enter hang them and the door, and pick them back when you are out to work the next day.. How do you do that lar???
Naturally i always forget but I shall need remember to trust Him in my worries and not to handle it all alone:
Encouragement 1
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?
Encouragement II
"The task ahead of you is never as great as the Power behind you"
FOUR - Counting Blessings
Hardships at work has been plaguing my mind particularly the "on call practically 24/7 bit". Its not a nice feeling to be on your toes all.... the time... and to have to be the technical solver as well! Mentally and physically tiring... I think am just getting to old for all these late nights data centre work.
And as I was thinking about the situation and how i can be in a better situation like another "***" .... then CG leader's mum and her family are going thru a even harder time unimaginable to me compared to my hardship. Her Mum had a mild stroke, got her to the hospital and she was alright and talking in a few hours. After a day observation at the hospital she had a heart attack and the doctors were doing all they could. Her mum got thru that and was conscious from the anasthesia for a while then stomach started to bleed internally and the doctors are targetting medcine to stop the bleeding. Father in Heaven, please take care of Alice's mum and their family thru this hard time. Please grant speedy recovery to Alice's mum and alleaviate any complications. And sustain the family in You and family unity thru this trying time. amen.
So when i think of it my hardship it is not really a hardship in comparison to that. Instead i need to count my blessings more like a decent job, wonderful colleagues than i could have asked for, wonderful friends and for healthy loved ones.
