ashamed.

day 246.
someone gave me a pretty coloured map of the workplace, way better than the black and white I had. I stared at mine, looked at the person sitting beside me, remembered that she had to look over my desk to look at the map, and gave it to her. What i didn't like was the fact i had to think about giving it to her. hahaha :\ she was surprised that i gave it to her, but hey, better than always leaning over to look at the map :P

other than that, i spent non-billable time talking to an admin guy. he is really talented, i see the gift he has from God, to be able to draw so well, to have such a creative mind. Thank you God for giving me the time to spare and talk to him :) to be able to know more about him and his interests! haha I want him to draw me a nice picture of me in lego form, hahaha just a random thought.

Anyways, i had my audit review today and it was good. my thoughts were different from the senior in that I thought i needed to have more confidence when interacting with clients - i felt so scared asking questions, especially when i don't even know what i'm asking -.- but the client felt i did alright (hahaa) Praise God :)

Something else that's on my mind, ummm friends in the workplace. I don't even think I have friends, reason being I don't really hang out with them. And I guess I envy the other co-ops that have developed a real relationships with the seniors - they eat together and go to the gym together. If you think about it, it's actually pretty fun, but I don't know, for me, I'd like to go home and eat dinner with my family. I think people at work think I'm really quiet and not out-going. hahaha I think i'm upset at the fact that i'm missing out on these social events...but at the same time, I like the quiet time I have. I haven't figured it out yet. To be liked or to be right with God. Then I read Andy's post which got me thinking. He paraphrased it: "If anyone is ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of him before my Father" (
Mark 8:38, Luke 9:26). It is scary. And to be honest, sometimes I am ashamed of Jesus...it's true :( and there's not a reason why I should be! God's so good...I'm the one He should be shameful of. But He picked me up and called His own. So overwhelming. Praise God!

Hey Doris,

This post really touched me.

But do you think you have to choose between Jesus and other people? Don't you think we can have both somehow?

Still, even if you must choose, I agree with you and I'd stick with God too. :) I support you in this! We are free to stay with the truth and the right no matter what other people think. :D

Oh yeah. You should definitely get him to draw you as a lego figure. And email that to me. :D

Serena, you cannot please people of this world and Jesus at the same time. Read James 4. emphasis on verse 4. :) talk to you soon?
