God speaks through others

The week that has just passed was rather eventful for me.. In addition to the retreat that we just had, there were also a couple of things that happened during the week at work.. On Thursday, my supervisor just reminded us about the final presentation at the end of the IA period.. And told us to give some thought into what we plan to present.. Emphasizing on the fact that 'it doesn't really matter what you do during the IA period, since it boils down to the final presentation'.. This is because no one knows who we (the interns) are.. The people watching the presentation (managers) will only know who we are through our presentations.. The reality is that we will be presenting to the managers/supervisors from other departments as well.. To judge if we can be 'considered for employment'.. After that, I was quite bothered because I don't really have anything major to present (Since what they want to see is how we have contributed and my contributions are small small things).. The day ended with thinking hard of ways which I can 'work on something' to present..

On Friday, the not-so-pleasant issue was still lingering.. And I decided to have a chat with one of the perm staff there (someone I work closely with).. I was already planning to talk to him the previous week but there was no chance because there were always the other people around.. He was alone this time and I had the opportunity to talk to him.. I really thank God for the conversation that I had with this person because it reminded me about a lot of things and he had something for me to work on.. It was inspiring to hear from someone's experience and he provided advice which I thought was very applicable.. In my opinion, his faith is also something that I can learn from.. That is to seek God and obtain confirmation in the decisions that we make.. Although I’m still uncertain of what direction He is leading me towards, I continue to pray and wait for the time when He will reveal His plans for my life..

On a separate note, the retreat that the leaders just had was a good time of bonding and reflection about our position in the ministry. For myself, it reminded me of why I chose to serve in this ministry and I’ve made certain commitments that will keep me going for at least quite a while.. I pray that all of us will find meaning in what we are doing and enjoy/like it even though we might face difficulties..
