...this make my heart skip a beat...don't know where this Heidi heard the news from...Heidi heard that I resigned...I suspected...is because...Miss Chew is easing back into the Marketing Department by The Chief...appointed to lead the Revenue portfolio...I also think it's a good thing...relief me also...so many things that The Chief is asking of me...I also cannot cope...so having an extra pair of hands; even though is Miss Chew's is better than nothing...I know that I didn't take on the opportunity to step up...thus either giving Miss Chew the opportunity to slip into my territory or giving The Chief; the reason to replace me soon...sigh...so I guess in a way as Miss Chew's title is graded as the General Manager...naturally, logically...Miss Chew takes the lead back...

...kind of reassuring though...hearing from one of the Promo Communication Executive that it is a less stressful working atmosphere now...if Miss Chew really does leads us back or from the beginning...with all of Miss Chew's screaming, unkind words and sarcastic tone...it will be very stressful indeed...

THANK YOU GOD, PRAISE TO THE LORD, BLESS YOU GOD! 

Before I head off to hike Tour Du Mont Blanc - The Chief told me not to resign...hahaha...I guess...I still have a job when I come back...a lot of things can happen in 3 weeks time with Miss Chew back in the picture...with Samuel & Mr. Horton's Secretary will not acknowledge me...I don't know what will happen when I come back...

...I remembered that Christopher shared with me before...that the new owners like me...but which one is it...there are 3 Kingdoms here...hahaha...Christopher also mention that the new owners also speak highly of me...hmmm...what was their content then...or did Christopher make the entire thing up? I certainly don't feel special anymore...hahaha...

Ergh...this is not good...Miss Chew's CRM management have been scrapped off...the new owners do not plan to overhaul the current POM system at the moment...so, meaning that Miss Chew will be easing back into the Marketing Department...and now the team will have a more heavier head count cost...1 General Manager...3 Trade Planning Managers...2 Assistant Managers...

And I also remembered...Samuel's stirring for the fourth time...in the Strike 2 meeting...Samuel is so happy that during a group discussion - Miss Chew is in the same group with us...

Haiz...this Samuel is stirring again...the third time...Samuel actually ask me...for the Hat Yai study trip...why I did not extend the invites to Miss Chew...instead, I offer it to the Promo Communication Assistant Manager...Mr. Horton's Secretary answered for me...that Miss Chew should be automatically be called up by The Chief...I offered to the Promo Communication Assistant Manager is base on seniority...as Miss Chew's position in the Marketing Department remains vague...

Fine...I admit, I am not doing a good job here...I am clueless...I certainly don't know how to lead this team going forward...I am weak, I am incompetent, I am not capable, I don't know how to motivate the team...nor do I know how to inspire the team...I am bad in projecting myself as a leader...I have no charisma...I am not convincing enough...I am not knowledgeable in the area of Marketing...I can't influence nor persuade...every day is a torture...I don't feel like going to work...I hate being in the workplace...I still cares on what people think of me...no doubt that I have stated several times - its ok to hand over the position or let Miss Chew to lead us back...but it's hard for me to swallow...I want to come out from this wilderness...haiz...  

Pressing Pause To Pray

When we make prayer a first resort instead of a last, we invite God's direction, wisdom and blessing. 

Finish Strong

Don't become weary. Don't give up. God will provide what you need to finish strong.

Help me keep going on this journey, Father. I want to finish strong so You get the glory for my life and journey.   

Longing For A Home

Don't hesitate. Talk to God as much as you like. He won't mind. He delights in our hearts. In Him you'll find a home.

Help me, God, not to hold back in talking with You when I've got something on my heart. Thank You for Your listening ear.  

Growing In Faith

Sometimes it's easy to praise the victories and triumphs in our lives without similarly acknowledging that growth in our character comes through time and struggle. 

James instructs us to consider pure joy when we face trials of many kinds. But what could possibly be delightful about trials? 

God will sometimes allows us to go through challenges and hardships so that we can be molded into who He's called us to be. He waits in anticipation for us to come out of the trials of life mature and complete, not lacking anything. By staying grounded in Jesus, we can preserve through any challenge, growing stronger and ultimately allowing the fruit of the spirit to blossom in our lives. His wisdom gives us the nourishment we need to truly flourish each and every day.

Dear Heavenly Father, sometimes the trials I face seem unbearable. Please give me the strength to preserve, and help me as I grow in faith and develop into the fruit-bearing believer that You've called me to be.  

Pulled To Safety

Maybe today you feel opposition around you.

Reflect on how God has helped you in the past, and then praise Him and ask Him to do it again!

Thank Him especially for rescuing you by bringing you into His Kingdom.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for coming to my aid so many times. Help me to know I can face any battle with You by my side. 

His Peace

For several months, I coped with intense workplace politics and intrigues. Worrying is second nature to me, so I was surprised to find myself at peace. Instead of feeling anxious, I was able to respond with a calm mind and heart. I knew that this peace could come only from God.

In contrast, there was another period in my life when everything was going well - and yet I felt a deep unrest in my heart. I knew it was because I was trusting my own abilities instead of trusting God and His leading. Looking back, I've realized that true peace - isn't defined by our circumstances, but by our trust in Him.

God's peace comes to us when our minds are steadfast. In Hebrew, the word steadfast means to lean upon. As we lean on Him, we'll experience His calming presence. We can trust in God, remembering that He'll humble the proud and wicked and smooth the paths of those who love Him.

When I experienced peace in a season of difficulty rather than ease, I discovered that God's peace isn't an absence of conflict, but a profound sense of security even in distress. It's a peace that surpasses human understanding and guards our hearts and minds in the midst of the most difficult of circumstances. 

Thank You for the perfect peace that comes to me when I choose to trust you.
