Thank God it's Friday!

My first week in my new work is so amazing. Ben, my managing director was so friendly. Matt, the sales director is so friendly and all smiles as well. The team is not that big 95 percent of the time, I am all alone by myself. They really don't mind what I am doing so I am quite fussy sometimes if I look idle or doing nothing. But because my managing director is not always at the office because he lives 3 hours away from here. Even the office is so energy efficient, the lights are motion sensored so we don't need to turn them off after working hours. The little pantry room is so cute as well, almost like an apartment type. I was a bit dissapointed at first because the first lady who I took over didn't even cleaned her desk before she went away. The cupboards too, kitchen cabinets and the storage room too. So the first thing I did this week was to clean my desk, the cupboards, the pantry area and the storage room. Girl! What a relief! My work space is so amazing as well as I am in front of Victoria Barracks! Amazing view from my window. 

Yesterday, Ben asked me if I have travel restrictions because they were planning to conduct a training for me in Canada. So they asked me to apply for one but I there are no dates yet. Hopefully before or after my booked holidays. 

Colossians 3:2 states, "Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth." This verse encourages believers to focus on spiritual matters rather than earthly concerns.  It emphasizes the importance of prioritizing heavenly values in one's life.

Today's verse talks about not being too materialistic and focusing ourselves to what is more grateful. I am actually trying my best to practice this. Buying only what is essential and beneficial in our end. Tomorrow is my off, a weekend reset. Thank you Lord!

God bless us all!

Today is my 4th day of my new work and I am the luckiest! 

My Big bosses are the kindest and the friendliest. My office space is the nicest thing that ever happened to me in my whole career especially here in the UK. It's so quiet in the office especially today that my big bosses are not around and they don't mind me doing nothing so what I did today is I cleaned the pantry cupboards, I descaled the kitchen kettle and I cleaned the coffee maker. I also try to make coffee and to see for myself how it works. They also have a dish washer which is pretty convenient if we have meetings and I need to set up the table and I wash the glasses and mugs. It's very posh. Joshley, the IT guy was friendly as well. DJ, he was the one who did the induction last Monday and he's American from Las Vegas, who decided to stay here in the UK, he is so helpful and friendly too. In our team, I am the only lady, it is not scary though because I am working with professionals and friendly people. 

Luckily, I am blessed and comfortably sitting on my nice chair in an air-conditioned office while outside is scorching heat. UK heatwave is crazy!!! Yesterday, when I went home, I was literally melting. That sweat was a lot I could wring my clothes dripping wet. I had a cold shower and I placed an icepack all over my body. This heat is crazy. I can't wait for next week! But some people were saying we need to enjoy the sun while it lasts, because the sun is UK is not forever. 

Proverbs 16:32 emphasizes that true strength lies in self-control and patience, suggesting that managing one's emotions is more commendable than physical power or conquest.

This verse is so relatable in regards to patience and self-control. I admit to myself that my patience is not that long especially to my husband which he annoys me easily. I always pray to Mother Mary to intercede for me and give me patience all the time because I am easily annoyed and angry. I need to practice self control and anger management. Yes it is true that one's emotions is more commendable. Our emotions are very strong and once we knew we need to lose it, we need to keep in mind that when Elijah was in despair and he had enough. God commanded him to eat and sleep. God takes over our life when we surrender everything to Him. God knows better than we do so do what God says. Take it easy. Life is for us to cherish, not to be in despair. 

Today, is a beautiful reminder for me to take it easy. Because after my trainings, I will be as busy as a bee. But I love being busy. I had cleaned up everything around me so when I start getting busy, I am at peace. 

God bless everyone!

Good morning Lord, thank you for this wonderful day. The first day of being an unemployed. Jobless. 

It was such a wonderful feeling for me honestly but thinking that I have a new job waiting for me and I am starting on Monday. I only have a week to rest, reset and regain my strength. I was so relieved. One week of rest and regaining my eager to be on a different field of work is the most exciting part. Luckily, this week is going to be a lovely week. Slow mornings is my favourite part. Running plans. Making my own breakfast and a deep fresh air. Today is a lazy Monday though. No plans of going out just rest and reset.

Thank you Lord.
