Perspectives

My first work assignment was scheduled for today, and in modern lingo, I blew it.

I claim full responsibility because there had been reminders about timing, and yet I remembered it incorrectly.

It was stressful having to face the other parties involved and I am told that the way to make up for this mistake is that I need to do my work well.

On the way back home, I tried very hard to examine how I feel. And how I should respond. If I messaged some friends, what was I expecting? For them to console me, make me feel better, tell me that it was because I had been sick and so I made this mistake? Did I want them to hug me and tell me it would all be OK?

That it would all be ok...

And yet, I don't know if it will be all ok when I meet the other involved parties. I may just have to work with their possibly already having a poor impression of me.

But in all things, I know it will be OK. I know it will be OK, because I have God journeying with me, coaching me. The Lord of the universe, (who made the evening sky in those hues!) in Whose safety and shelter is incomparable. He is No.1 in ensuring my heart, my mind is safe.

Perspectives. I may have bungled today's work assignment, but I know that was not all there is to today. The bus home passed by an accident site. Not serious, thankfully. I am also thankful that I am safely home now. As I looked for the picture of the evening sky in my phone, I saw the picture of a little boy some of us had been praying for this week because he had had to do an important surgery.

Perspectives.

Lord, I love when You show me the minute details of Your care. Help me to see more than what I am used to, help me to see the macro that I may be reminded of Your awesomeness.
