Jesus calling: A bible series, Day 176/365

 

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!
