Wagyu beef burger

Today, Dad made me a wagyu beef burger. Even though there were only 2 for our household of 6, I got 1 of them. He didn't even have any.. And i know he will really love to have a bit of it.

Thanks Dad. Even though it is a simple buttered burger, it tastes better than all the beef burgers I've eaten.

Amazing Amazon and His great love

Two things to be really thankful for today is..

- The surprise of receiving an email from Amazon telling me that one of my books have been shipped first at no extra charge. And then another email saying that the rest of the books have been shipped too. Amazing Amazon! Their success is really inventory management, being the wiki store of books and such, and over-deliver on expectations. :)

- Being greeted by a magical night sky! After a really tough and stressful day at work, I thank God for sustaining me. But just when work overwhelms and clouds my vision, God steps in to comfort me with the sight at my balcony. A very bright round moon lit night! I could just make up the clouds among the pinkish dark hues, and the soft breeze enveloping you and reminding us just how human and small we are in the bigger scheme of things!

Stars! In the skies! They speak of His glory and His promise to Abraham to make his descendants numerous like the stars in the sky and the sand at the sea. How precious are His promises.

How they comfort me in times when I really need help, as work traps me in a concrete building, as I toss and turn over life's decisions, as my heart cries out for help. Only He hears, and only He can deliver me.

Dreaming of the next holiday. And extended happy times with loved ones!

And as always, I thank God for K.

A sense of..

I don't know what it is called but maybe it is apprehension. After all, there are many changes around me and i have never really liked it especially when it comes to work.

One of my colleague is leaving, while the other is on half year in another office. Not that I have been very close to them but.. It's also at a period of my work life that I should grow more. And not stay stagnant.

Growing not in work hours, please! But the last raise was a year ago. I know in order to increase that.. I will have to do more.

Sighs. But is this the right place for me? Whenever I get the sinking feeling to leave and pray really hard about it, the other options don't seem so viable now while.. At the time of uncertainty, something new shows up at my door. It is me.. Do I want to take it on?

Do I want to pursue growth? If I do I cannot take a back seat.. Being the most senior one here at the moment, it is an opportunity indeed. But can I? I need a lot of help from God indeed!

And it's not impossible but God.. I just want a holiday sometimes. Yet we reap what we sow and we have to work hard for your glory. Whatever it is we are doing as a occupation also reflects His mighty glory! Being a Christian in the secular world and shining as a light in a place of darkness is also important.

Personally then, oh God please draw me to you. And may I be able to draw from You, the source of life. The source of love and wisdom.

Seriously. Help. But I need to get out of my comfort zone in order to grow.

Love,
