Thanking God

It just came across my mind that I should thank God for being busy at work.

I realised from my update to my facebook status field that I had been very busy at work for the last couple of months. In particular, I have not had a chance to allow my mind to go astray during working hours at all for the last few weeks. Every morning after I have arrived at work and had my coffee, I sit glued at my desk for the rest of the morning. And every afternoon when I have returned from lunch, I am again occupied with my work to the full.

I do thank God, even though I have been so busy, that I have sufficient work to do to occupy my business hours. And equally importantly, just the right amount of work so that I could leave the office reasonably early (7pm or 7:30pm). Although it is still inhibiting me from attending cell group gatherings (starts at 8pm but it takes 45mins to 1 hour to get from work to church), it is not eating into my sleep and rest time too much.

I do pray that God would grant me a job that allows me to call it a day at 6pm-ish everyday. But if that's how God wants me to be at work (faithful and give my best to the job), then so shall it be.

I trust that God is giving me the best even though it does not seem that way in my own eyes.
