And the day began with the knowledge that there was a great deal of work to be done. It kept me very unfocused and led me in all directions. What a confusing day at the office! Can you imagine being torn from one end to another, then only to be pushed forward and pulled back all at the same time? Now I know what Mr Fantastic feels like! Haha! 
It’s amazing how I can still crack jokes even through a day like this. But really, that was exactly how I got through the day! I came in, smiling from cheek to cheek, making “smart alec” comments, cracking jokes. My staff knew I was stressed and they really helped me to get about all the work. Each tried to attend to their individual matters, drive their own issues, clarify their own thoughts. They also willingly (or at least, I hoped!) attend meetings on my behalf! I found that I was able to rely on them to get things through and this eased some of the load off my shoulders. But yet, more work poured in. Oh well, that’s how things go. In all this complex confusion, how does one find the time to sit down and rest? Or even reflect on what to do next? Almost everything seems to be instinctive! How does one remember inner peace? It had also been said that it would be better to spend that time to seek God and know peace before the hustle and bustle of work! Rather than to have the busyness of work take our precious time away from God. Which should we choose? I think I chose wrong this morning :-/
1. My boss affirmed me for my work and effort for this first half of the year. He told me that he could see how I had managed to bring the team together and how I had questioned many of the assumptions of the existing processes. It felt really good to hear his!
2. Lunch out of the office canteen! So-so, but it was the environment and company which made it so enjoyable.
3. Remembering God during of Life Group this evening. His presence. His grace. His love.
4. At our Life Group, we touched on the subject of anger and I remembered how I used to be really a short tempered person. When I blow up, I really can BLOW UP! And usually, at least 1 person will get hurt… either emotionally or physically or both. Yeah, that’s me. Little known secrets of me but God has changed me so much. I am definitely not the same person.
5. Who is like Thee, O God? No one! Thank you for instilling my identity in me
