Exactly a week ago today, mum and some of our relatives went to
Before mum left for her vacation, she already prepared so much food to put into the freezer so that we could just heat up whatever food we want to eat. We are so blessed by her.
Hope she is enjoying her two weeks away from all of us.
This morning I told the office boy to help me to pass the car keys to my mechanic whose shop is below my office for him not only to help me pump the tyre but also to service the car. He was going to check on something as well which is not functioning well.
I am thankful that he does not charge me anything to do this sort of service.
When you send out SMS to either people in your own mobile network or to people using other mobile networks, the confirmation of message sent does not mean anything at all.
What I mean is eventhough you receive the confirmation from your mobile network, the recipient may not have received your SMS.
Recently I sent out some SMS to friends from my own mobile network and also to other mobile networks, but there was no reply from them. When I met up with them, I asked whether they received those SMS and they told me they did not.
Some of them also asked me the same question and I told them I also did not receive their SMS.
This thing happened not only during the recent festive seasons but as recent as a few days ago.
So if you have something important to tell a person, making a call would be a safer thing to do.
On a side note, since the beginning of this year, I have been receiving a lot of "rubbish" sms on different offers available and most of the time they are not from my mobile network.
This morning in the midst of busyness at work, God was doing an emotional open heart surgery on me. As much as I wish to be in the familiarity of my own bedroom so that no one can see what an emotional wreck I was, I had to continue to pretend everything was fine with me but my heart was aching like no one’s business. I think the last time I had this kind of feeling was when I had a broken heart. I had a hard time in controlling my emotion. Out of a sudden I felt like weeping but I managed to control it.
After all the things I have done for the people who have hurt me, I thought they appreciated all my contribution but in fact I was not prepared for the worst. Not only they do not appreciate what I have done for them, they think the worst of me. I have learnt not to put expectation on these people because the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. As the years progress, my expectation of them has become like zilch. But yet the truth that came out knocked me off completely. I would never have guessed that is how these people see me.
I cannot get rid of these people who are sucking the living daylights (or in another words ‘get rid of the sucker branches’) out of me because I come into contact with them quite often. In order to protect myself from now onwards, I just have to distance myself away from them.
I wanted to sms some close friends to ask them to pray for me but somehow God is stopping me and at the same time telling me to forgive these people who have hurt me. He wanted me to confront the matter head on so that when I obtained victory, I can only give glory back to Him and no one else.
The ‘angel of light’ is very subtle and he will attack us on those things that we feel vunerable the most. He wants us to live a defeated life. But instead I was resolute not to allow him to do so. I did not want to allow the negative emotion to rule over me. Instead I want to live victoriously so that my life is not ruled by my emotion/s.
I thank God that He helped me to overcome my negative emotion and I was back to my normal self after a quick snooze during lunchtime. All glory and honour to His name.
