Jesus Calling: A bible series, 187/365

 

Good day Lord,

I felt so energized today even if I didn’t go for a run last weekend. I had a sudden guilt not running and quite fussy. Paul said that it was okay but I felt a little anxious. I did a home workout though so just to overcome the guilt I did a few strength lifting and to mention my 2-km walk going to church and back home was an addition. Last Friday after work, Paul and I had an opportunity to go out and have some few drinks in one of the local bars in Datchet so I blamed him for not getting up on Saturday morning. Hahaha! But overall, we had an opportunity good night. We were both off last Saturday, I went to Slough and grab a few groceries and I was pretty calm and sweet last Saturday to be honest. Yesterday after church, I did laundry and the new fab conditioner that I bought smelled so divine. I cleaned the house all day after I had a quick call from my mum. I was a lil bit tired but satisfies because I cleaned the house which is fulfilling and satisfying in my part. I love making the house tidy and neat as the saying goes, ‘Cleanliness is next to Godliness’ which is true and correct. 

Today, Monday, 9am weekly catch up. Fair enough to ask me how was my week and how do I get along my work and colleagues. 10am, I had a call from Dan, our HR Director and we had a catch up regarding how was I settling in. I said I was ok, it was overwhelming, too many information to absorb and I am quite lucky to be with professional people and supporting people at my back. There are so many things to do and learn and I strive to do it one step at a time. So one thing I need to do is do my Canadian visa for my upcoming training so I can thrive better and do fulfill my duties as an office/sales administrator. 

I am very excited about it aside from that I can travel on the part of the world. 

This is all because of you Lord. It opened to so many opportunities because of your gifts. 

Today’s verse conveys that showing generosity and compassion to those in need is viewed by god as giving a loan to Him. It highlights that acts of charity are not merely social obligations, but hold spiritual significance. In return, God promises to repay or reward the individual for their deeds.

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!
