Something strange happened last night

On Sunday we had our meeting in the auditorium at church basement, in the corner nearest to the collumbarium. We had a great time preparing for the Children's Day mass with the deco work and after that headed for drinks. It was all gooooood!

That night, I turned the lights off for bed and instantly I knew something wasn't quite right. Something or 'someone' was in my room and my heart was gripped with fear. I tried closing my eyes and praying hard but it was too scary that I had to quickly grapple in the dark for my glasses and turn the lights back on. I held my rosary tight and opened the bible to Psalm 91. I read it out and prayed for the Lord's protection and for him to please please cover me with his precious blood. After that, just like that, the fear disappeared. Of course being the coward that I am (still, hehe), I tried sleeping with the lights on, but it was just annoying. So I turned it off and drifted soundly into la la land.

PRAISE THE LORD! :)

p.s: Always refer to Psalm 91 when faced with danger or fear of any kind. This prayer was taught to me by my father during a difficult moment in my life, many years ago. The Lord has never failed me. He is always there for us, keep trusting in Him!

9 months in the 'new' job

After 9 months at the 'new' job, I am already looking for another. For reasons such as poor job fit, zero job satisfaction and me dying a social death, I decided to tender my resignation.

This move actually brought about peace and no mixed feelings (as with the resignation of the prev job a year ago). Actually this whole experience made me realise that no amount of tangible perks (expensive meal treats, high-flying events, freebies, fantastic staff benefits etc) in a branded university can be compared to sheer job satisfaction and the other many intangibles that I've experienced before in a social service sector.

I'm not sure what the future holds for me now but I can only ask the Lord to continue to guide me in this journey. Sometimes I think He placed me in this 'new' job as a place for me to realise which industry/sector I belong to as well as a refuge place to restore my spirit and regain my strength. Well, the 'new' job has served me well and I hope I have done the same :)

"Lord, please guide me in this search for the job that you would want me to be in. I trust in You O Lord to place me in a role that can best make use of the gifts and talents that you have given me. I make this prayer through Jesus my Lord. Amen."
