MIA = Missing in Action

I know I haven't been blogging much of late. There are so many factors.. firstly work is just.. indescribable. It's so busy and with the steep learning curve, I just feel like ohmygod most of the time. I know (and still believe) it is my answered prayer but sometimes I just cannot fathom how an answered prayer turns out to be... so.. different from what I thought!

If we read about Joseph in the bible, his life wasn't a smooth sailing road. But if you continue reading, it says that "And the Lord was with Joseph". And Joseph was faithful and did his best in whatever situation he was placed in. That eventually he became such a great and important man. I can almost safely say that without his unpleasant experiences building up on that level of maturity, he wouldn't have become what he was in the end. Like what Sarah said, this might be my season of pruning and growing.. God is preparing me for something great. And so this is my source of encouragement - The story of Joseph.

I don't wish to whine and moan too much about my job anymore because I don't want to dwell and build up on too much negativity around work. Plus once I step out of office, I just switch off all work related stuff and look forward to what the weekend holds for me. Am praying that this season will be over soon, and that I can look back and say with conviction "The Lord was with me". I know He is right now, but it would nice to say that when looking bad at my tough times in life to see how He brought me through.

And then there is the internet issue at home which is driving me nuts. Three of us girls moved in September/ October and the old internet contract was supposed to end, and we were to start a brand new contract under our names. For some weird reason, SKY just refused end the old contract giving reasons which I am not even sure of anymore. Marcia is in charge of getting our internet/ TV things running so.. I am just relying on her efforts because I don't have the time and energy to do that after work. Thankfully I can come over to K's place (like now!) to use the internet but seriously, without internet in my life is just impossible. I believe it's the same for everyone. I can live without a TV (yes I did!) but not without internet. Spoke to Marcia tonight and it is highly possible that we will only get internet up and running under our names next year. How ridiculous.

But then at the same time I do wonder.. how many people do read my blog nowadays? (Other than my family, that is.) I mean, afterall I've been here more than 3 years and it's natural to drift apart. Especially in down seasons like this, I feel like I am forgotten by my friends back home. And then I feel depressed thinking about it... Actually who knows? Maybe I am just talking to myself here?
