post о □ ranch retreat

I am quite happy to be back on blogger and typing again! It is nice to be home early for once to rest up and have time to talk to friends and even blog!

I really want to blog because today I was very touched by God's providence and protection. I was working alone at a client's today and I felt very incompetent. I asked for a document and the client started to question why it was needed and said that there isn't one and didn't know what I was talking about. I explained to her the procedure and she shot me down by saying "I don't understand what you need and what you're doing." Yeah, that left me speechless and hurt. Haha to be honest I felt wounded because I couldn't comprehend why she didn't understand me and it really seemed like I am incapable of doing the work. So I started to pray, praying for love, patience and security because I really don't know how to handle the situation. My senior wasn't there - I was all by myself. At that moment, another senior started to sametime me (i.e. chat) and asked how I was doing. I explained to her what happened and she encouraged me. I didn't even expect to be encouraged. I didn't think that she would be able to comfort me but she did. What she said to me gave me confidence (and I had zero confidence after I talked to the client). After this, my other senior (the one on the file) e-mailed the client and praise God because the client understood him. So I really felt God's providence and protection over me, so praise God! 

Yeah, I'm very happy!! I'm very thankful that I went to retreat. It was a weekend well needed to rest and fellowship. Ah, I'm really thankful and ahh I just feel so blessed because it was so wonderful listening to the small group discussions and people's sharing! I realize how nice sharing is because it really encourages me! I now enjoy to share with people because what God is teaching me and what I'm learning - it cannot be contained!! Just like on Monday, I met up with MW and we shared about what we're learning and ahh such a good talk!! It brings so much joy to me to hear others share! :D :D :D Something else I learned is that I need to pray more. Prayer is so powerful and I really enjoyed praying with my sisters over the weekend - God is so good!! Yo! He is so good! Lastly, from my talk with MW, I learned that I need know the scriptures more. What he said was correct in that we need to study the Word and understand it so that we will know what is right and what is wrong. Haaaah, I think I already forgot what he said but this is what I remembered...aiyaa. :P Haha, alright, time to sleep!
