WOG - breathe it in

It's been a lethargic week for me since work started after a long break. Been having racing thoughts about the wedding planning and no wonder research says that marriage creates a rather higher stress level of 50. Not that I am already married but the wedding planning in itself was like whoa....I have a newfound admiration for people who have gone through it beautifully. Kudos to them.

The news which came last night brings back the energy in my work. Knowing that I will be promoted to the next level lift my spirits up 2 folds. It's no secret that my job has always been my passion and my calling I feel. This is a huge encouragement to me in my work being recognised these 5 years. God has His timing :) Sure, it has not been smooth sailing but at this jucture, I am certainly grateful for all that I have gone through and survived.

Started on my devotionals today and it was on learning from Mary's attitude towards God, how she sees herself as a servant. God's word was her command literally. What can I learn from her? A simple truth which is terribly hard to apply. I began work today with a prayer to God that in everything I do at work today, it is for him. I am merely His servant. I wish to be as child-like as Mary. No expectations and simple obedience. Ask and I will do. Send and I will go. It calm my heart much more than me trying to do all the right things for the past week.

This is the breather that I need. The word of God in my life.
