Please take me home

Father Lord Jesus, it is my fervent prayer that you take me home in my sleep for eternal rest at the age of 37. I ask for 7 more years of fruitful abundance and then home to you for eternal rest. Let me not be a burden to others but instead be a blessing. Let me come home with my work complete. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.

God's promise for Warren

I asked the Lord, "why did you give me yet another son, when you know that I want a daughter badly?"

The Lord answered, "I know each of my children even before they were conceived in their mother's womb. I have them in the palm of my hand. Be still and know that I have my divine plan for Warren. He will be great and influence many before his time is on earth is done."

I stood humbled because my Lord sees both the beginning and the end. I shall keep faith and know that my little Warren is and will be a conqueror in Christ. I only ask that I be given the wisdom by the Lord to groom my children for what lies ahead.

People come and go, the Lord never does

My heart chills at the callousness of some people. One day you can be the crown jewel, the next day, you are just another piece of junk to cast away.

And in being treated like a disposable item, you will feel down, dejected and basically unwanted and unloved. In other words, a broken heart.

But our Lord God is faithful. He loves and cares for you. His heart will eternally love you and you need to live for him and him alone.

Our God heals broken hearts and binds up all sorrow. And in doing so, you need him and him alone.

God wants his children to be successful

On Thursday, I got lectured severely by my beloved boss. I admit, I was crushed. My mind reeled. How on earth could I, my boss's golden girl, get rebuked so strongly and so severely?

I remember I once asked my boss, what is it about me? What is it that I did that has brought me his favour? His reply was a bit perplexing. My boss said that there is just something special about me. It's not about looks, but my personality just shines like a sunbeam on a cloudy day. Infectious and exuberant and touches all that is around me.

Yet, I got rebuked and very severely. I thought hard that night and asked the Lord, gee, what happened? In my mind's eye, I felt the Lord give me peace. And it came to me, just like a parent rebuking a child when she does wrong, he does it so that the mistake that endangers the child does not reoccur. In the same way, my boss scolded me because if I had continued to slack off, he cannot do great things through me, and when pride gets in the way, God cannot work through my hands.

Just like Pastor Joseph Prince says in his book titled Umerited Favour, it is not what Joseph did that gave him favour in Pophitar's eyes, but the Lord's work that was done through Joseph's hands such that everything was blessed.

And I too realised that when I walk the closest with Jesus, it is then that my boss shows me the most favour. So actually, it was never really about me, but about God. It was not my shining personality, nor my God given physical beauty, nor any of my ability or what I have ever done. It was what God did through me when I was at my most humble and most God fearing.

So Jesus, work through me, make me your vessel such that all that is made and touched by me are blessed into unceasing fruitful abundance in your name. May all of the promotions, collaborations and all that I touch be blessed and successful such that all that is good be multiplied a hundred fold even as compared to the best of the previous years. Let our time here at Loyalty Marketing be the golden years because you are with us, Abba Father and Lord Jesus Christ. Cloak us with your robes of righteousness and cover us with your blood. All this I claim in the name of Jesus, amen.

Good bosses vs. Great bosses

A good boss makes his men realize they have more ability than they think they have so that they consistently do better work than they thought they could. - Charles Erwin Wilson

Come on, isn't a boss someone who happens to be your superior and basically just commands you to do and you obey?

Wow. How wrong can i get?

I never could understand how people can get married to their jobs. I mean look, its just something that occupies you for like 8 hours in a day and pays you at the end of the month. Why bring work home and have sleepless nights over it? Just go to work and cone home after 8 hours!

Wrong! Again!

I finally understand the life of a workaholic. And the strange thing is, i enjoy it. Wait, scratch that. I LOVE it! If you asked anyone in my previous job, i bet they will tell you that I have a fantastic work life balance, meaning i arrive on the dot and leave on the dot. And i never ever bring home any work. Why bother? I dun get paid OT!

But the actual fact is, i was probably never really in love with what i was doing. And i had a pretty good boss but i never actually felt that i mattered. My boss would never have said things like "I get nervous when i dun see you." i took that to mean that i am easily replaceable by any tom, dick or harry who next applies for my post.

I am not sure if i had a shift in my perspective since then but i know that i am bringing my office laptop home pretty regularly now. I guess i just like the feeling of knowing that my efforts put in matter and that my boss sees me as a value-add to his team and not just another monkey or squirrel to help with the daily chores.

Call me vain, but i like the fact that my work can actually make my boss smile in appreciation instead of just another task ticked off.

And because i feel appreciated and valued, i honestly want to contribute and do much more just so i get another pat on the back.

This feels in a sense like a rebirth of sorts and i truly am glad that i met such a wonderful boss.

And yes boss, i do mean it when i say i mega heart you. Because you are great, i know i can be too.
