Our heart ache for this change. Who would have thought there were so many memories only you and I share. From CFN to CC, from CC to PLBC, we grew and witnessed God’s fathfulness through it all. He provided more than we needed and wanted. We’re thankful for the friends we made along this journey. As we sail away to our next phrase. Let’s just say that the changes is good, but it scars us and brings us pain. This mark will forever in our heart. May God remind us your goodness and faithfulness when this mark tugs our aching heart. We’ll continue to bring light to this world. May God be with us.

What dinner?
Five day ago when I met Miss L, I lightly suggested that maybe we should have dinner this coming Sunday with other families. Life goes on, school started, and I was exhausted with two full days of school. I totally forgot the dinner …. It’s Sunday today and got her message in the afternoon. She told me that the dinner is confirmed, but she forgot to tell.
First, I forgot about the dinner. Second, she confirmed the dinner without letting me know. Third, I felt like I was blamed not showing up since I started the idea for dinner. I can only say that there’s miscommunication in between…. However, it still bugs me when I think about that… it interrupted my thoughts on writing paper, that sucks!
Lord, I admit that I am wrong not confirming or even forgot about the dinner. Will you help me to ease the anger within me. Although, I would like to know why I’m so mad… I don’t have time for this right now. Can you kindly give me peace at heart so that I might finish my paper tonight? Thank you Lord!
The End of an Era
After about a year and a half of looking, sending resume, interviewing, and waiting, the CRA has offered me an entry level audit position. Although this is a contract position, I was assured that with the increased budget, it is highly likely that the agency will offer permanent positions fairly quickly.
PLBC has been a great place to work at. Yes, there are many areas that can seriously use some improvements, but all in all, the work is meaningful. Nothing beats working with a great supervisor.
I pray that as PLBC continues on its path to accreditation, it will also grow in maturity – in its policies, procedures, and internal communication. I pray that I will be the salt and light at the CRA – be professional, integral, and personable.
Judging
Sometimes I’m amazed at how much a person can and will judge another person. For things that don’t go along with one’s idea or flavours, she will judge someone because she’s not satisfied with rejection. Calling out someone being self-centred, she hits her own blind spot with seeing herself as one. The conversation is full of contradictions from beginning to the end. It’s all about herself, how she’s more mature in dealing things, having ideas for doing business, or how she sacrifice herself to do others. I found that it’s all BS when indeed she’s looking for returns of flavours.
Maybe I’m not mad when I heard her judging and complaining someone. Rather, I’m amazed at how sinful we are when we lose sight of God. Was He in the picture when she’s complaining and judging? Was he in the picture when she’s planning her new life for the next six months or so? For sure… I don’t know. He knows and He will definitely show His heart, in His time.
Hubby and I did mention that we do not want to get into someone business unless we are asked to help. Nor did we want to state our opinion unless we are asked to speak out. There’s time for everything. Meanwhile, have some self-control and live your life like Jesus.
The Idea of Divorce
I’ve never thought that I’ll be facing it one day to deal with my friends divorce…. or the idea of divorce. Although, there was time I talked to Mrs.C and spent a long time to talk to her convincing her to see a counsellor. It turned out their relationship is much better today, I’m glad I was there walking with them.
Since yesterday talked to D about her idea of divorce, I still have no clue how to help. It’s funny I’m on the crossroad between going to work or start studying again. Many hints popped up reminding me how lack of skills I am when dealing and counselling with people. Maybe God didn’t need to me earn money? Maybe that’s not His idea for me at this time? I mean seeing my best friend facing divorce today, it hits me harder than dealing with anyone. I do admit I want to be a better counsellor, a better listener, a better problem solver…
So I guess I have decided now? Are those hints obvious enough for me to pursue education rather than money? humm…..
