It was to a warm, gentle sunrise that one awoke this morning. Trotting off to work with my laptop in the soft orange-yellow light that suffused the sleeping world brought one to the desire to spend time with Him again, cosying up to Him to soak Him in again in the morning, with a peace that made the bustle about me seem uncharacteristically non-singaporean and slow.
I arrived at my workplace this morning to find that I had been working so hard there is now a space of a few hours where there is nothing for me to do. They now need the few hours to find something new for me to tackle over the next few days, and that is just as well.
In my time with Him I was led to think over my own silliness. =) From embarrassing boo-boos ("George Bush is a Catholic") to my pride which is taking a million years to erode, I have lost count of the times I have been boastful or felt prideful about things so small. And then there is the more serious--sin, idolatry--things I would probably feel an immense pang of regret over wasted choices if my life should flash past me on judgement day. This heart is anything but pure =) I thank God for His gentle reminders and occasional discipline. How humbling! =)
They have found work for me.. =) I must get back now...
5pm:
Tomorrow will be my last day, they say. To date I am the longest employed student worker (the rest have been sent home) and I must not deplete NUS's temp budget. I am thankful for the easy, pleasant company He has given me here. So I must hurry a little with work and do some amount of delegation and organizing. I am now busy helping with student bursaries, reading them and examining the criteria for qualification with the Registrar’s Office…Even so I am glad that by His grace He has walked with me through what has been done here.
Sharing coffee with the office auntie. =) tomorrow we shall go for our last lunch. Lord I ask for an opportunity! =)
