Have a great weekend all!!

me & night shift

i'm not good at this... 

working night shift... 

working against the biological clock...

 i'm a real sucker. 

i yawned through client meeting last night...

my boss gave me some serious that better be your last yawn looks.

it's no fun working when most people are asleep,

and sleep when the rest of the world is awake!

i had the toughest time staying alert at work...

got lost toggling between my computer screens a few times... 

i pulled up one application, stopped 

and stared at it for a long time... 

cause i forgot what i was looking for... 

what i needed from there.

 the office is more quiet and peaceful

i love that...

yet i can't help but wish 

for this ordeal of three months night shift to end!

 i'm trying to do better...honestly.

i hope to do better.

i think i can... i believe i can...

because...

I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. ~ Philippians 4:13

p.s: i lost many comments... i don't know if it happens to y'all too. but it happened a few times for me. i don't want to be a rude blogger who doesn't return a favour. if you have left me some sweet words and they are not published please don't mind. i couldn't figure out how it happens. i hope blogger fixes this SOON!! 

thanks for visiting me!!

God's perfect time

The story of Joseph, the son of Jacob is one of my favourite stories from the Bible. Last night, i was reading through the book of Genesis again and felt like delving into the life of Joseph a little more.

In the prison of Egypt, the chief cup bearer and the butler both had dreams. Joseph interpreted the dreams, which happened exactly as he interpreted. Joseph told the Cup bearer "Only keep me in mind when it goes well with you, and please do me a kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house." ~ Genesis 40:14 . 


But what did the Cup bearer do? He promptly forgot all about Joseph. "Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him."    
~ Genesis 40:23. 

What happened then, Pharaoh had dreams... he needed interpretation but none could. and...."Finally, the king's chief cup-bearer spoke up. "Today I have been reminded of my failure," he told Pharaoh."  ~ Genesis 41:9

Many times in my life, i felt forgotten, i have been blamed and wrongly accused. i look back and felt embarrassed about the way i reacted during such times. I forgot to let the situations be taken cared of by God... i didn't do my duty... to love Him and trust Him and be righteous. i had tried to take care of the situations and tried to turn things around for my conveniences and the end results were only devastating... that left me wounded.

While being in prison, wrongly accused and forgotten, Joseph would have gone through bitterness, pain and anger. But he chose to love God and continued to be a righteous young man. And God moved for him, in His perfect timing. In His perfect time, God made the cup bearer remember Joseph. 

Be assured that when your time comes, God will cause the right people to think of you!! i'm linking this post to Spiritual Sunday
