i am thankful

because i can do all things through Him who strengthens me

these past few days have been very hectic for me...and that means work as early as 8am till as late as midnight. i've woken up each morning only to feel blur and blue... with ever increasing work load , and   pigheadedness among peers... it has been aggravating and passion for work is a remote feeling. i've been mulling over many unpleasant interactions...gripped by utter contempt.when all i feel is crushed and dejected, my boss assigned a monstrous project! projects are fun but its deadline makes me panicky ALL the time.  so, when she said "Ruth i couldn't think of anyone more efficient than you are", i thought  "yeah right, like i don't know you take advantage of me when i show some respect and obey." 

but this morning, before i swung myself out of the bed... i lay a while and stared at the ceiling.... in my mind, scheming how to go about with the project.  and something clicked....!! i was angry 'cause i always had to do the most... was always picked when urgency calls. and now i know why... 

and how, oh how could i be still and not thank God for promises so great as these? ~ Ps 112:7 & Is 41:10

"thank you God... for Your faithfullness...

morning by morning i see Your new mercies!

thank You for making me realize 

that when my boss gives me projects 

and says she trusts me,

she sees NOT ME but YOU in me.

 i'm sorry i took time to realize that! 

i know i can't do this alone 

but  YOU and I, together CAN... so lets go!!"

 and today, i'm joining Mama Hen at Mama's Little Chick  for Thankful Thursday... i hope i'm not too late..:)

Sweet Mama Hen,  thank you so very much for these two lovely awards. I'm so honored! Its really kind of you to think even think of me.. i'm thankful for a friend like you... i really am.

  Hmm for this sweet You're Going Places award, 

i'm suppose to say what i see myself as in 10 years and then pass this award along...

so, in ten years i see myself a wife, a daughter-in-love and a mom to a beautiful boy

and i'm passing it on to 

Katie at I Am Wonderfully Made

and Erin at Dropped Stitches

Now, the Versatile Blogger, i'm suppose to list 7 random things about me...

so..........., i'm a book worm

i love going for a long ride in the wee hours of the morning

i love being alone and i can't stand boisterous people

i'm not very fond of animals... but i like birds

and i detest talking over the phone.

sometimes i intentionally don't answer calls and i end up feeling guilty..:)

i thank all of you for stopping by... your sweet comments have overwhelmed me .I'm thankful!!
