Working Holiday

Normally school holidays are pretty quiet and I only pop into the office averaging twice a week and even then its only a couple of hours max. But this year I am popping into the office almost daily and for longer hours too.

It's half way through the holidays now and my stress level is still on the high side. Every other day something would just crop up and there are days I wait with bated breathe for the outcome of decisions. Needless to say, many SOSes have been sent heavenward for great favour and grace.

Just last week, I had to do a power point presentation for the Ministry of Education and guess what... my school does not even have anything remotely resembling a power point to begin with, so we had to start from scratch. My victim...is none other than Philip. I know nuts about computer and he had never done a power point before so he had to get cracking. It's one of those times in the history of our lives when “I don't know how” is just not acceptable. He managed to complete it in time and I was simply amazed!!! It was beautifully done and I almost wanted to put in a slide to thank him!!!


So many unexpected things happened at work this holiday. I really need quantum of solace and also yearning for a break. In the midst of all these challenges, I am learning to have peace and to trust God for every decision made. It's training myself to take every thought captive and not let it run like a runaway train. Tho I may not like some of the circumstances , yet I can't deny that it is in these situations that God is moulding and teaching me His precepts for abundant living. Knowing His word is one thing but to put into practice is another thing. It's really all by His grace.
