Dear Father God,
I just felt like letting out some random rambling off my mind today. Pardon me if my thoughts are all over the place this round...
It's been more than a year I join World Vision Malaysia as business analyst, after I took on the advise from my pastors to go back to normal working life where my skills and talents can be used again by You. It wasn't easy at first because I have not touch database scripting language for more than 15 years, plus the fact that almost the entire world is forced to work from home most of the time due to the C19 pandemic have been in one way or another delayed my job learning from my superior. I thank You, Father God, for many supportive and helpful colleagues to teach me in my work when my superior is not available.
Today I received a SOS from a colleague on certain Word template is not displaying the right information while I was busy in a meeting. I have to admit, as age is catching up, I am not as agile with multi-tasking compared to 20 years ago. It's challenging to try to be focused in a meeting and attending to questions from the other side simultaneously. In the end, I decided to just leave the meeting and focus on the SOS call.
I was attempting to find out the reason and rectifying the error, this colleague suddenly private messaged me with advise to use the checklist to ensure all templates will be working correctly. Although I knew the original work is not done by me, I just said thank you with OK and thumbs up emoticons. Years ago, I probably would have retorted at her message but I don't seems to have that negative thoughts now. I guess the "humble yourself to learn and win" phrase is etched on my mind that I just automatically responded with the happy emoticons. After all, I believe she is genuinely trying to be helpful so that everyone can work efficiently without having errors popping up here and there in the future.
I personally think there are many ways to respond to every situation that happen to me everyday. I can be reacting negatively or positively, depending on my mood during that time. "Speak life" - a term that I learnt from my pastors and godly friends - thank You Holy Spirit, for reminding me always to speak life in my speech. Each day I am given choices to use words that builds or destroys relationships... I pray that I am building and restoring more relationships than the opposite each day. Thank You again Lord Jesus, for setting an excellent example for me to follow each day 💖
