All work and no play makes Rachel a dull girl...
Hahah.. yup.. work has taken a toll on me (especially my health) for at least the past one month. More so in the past 2 weeks. Customer complaints, screenings, increased inspections, reports to be sent out.... Stress, stress, stress...
For this week, my colleagues and customer have told me to go slow.. remember to calm myself down.. hehe.. am trying to do so.. Probably I should have one big poster on my office wall stating "CALM DOWN!!" to remind myself everyday. And to take a breather once in a while.
It's also a stressful week for hubby as his exams are on this whole week, so study week this week. I can see that it's certainly not an easy course, and sometimes I wonder why we push ourselves too much or too hard? Certainly, there should be more than this right?
I know I have not been going back to basics; J-E-S-U-S. I relied on my own strength, and not on His. And I wanted everything to be in my own plan, my own timing, my own this and that. I had a hard time to "let go" of myself and "let God". In the midst of my busy-ness, I was reading ODB at work today (yeah, I subscribed it daily to be sent to my work-mail), and at the end of the whole devotion, it wrote, "God is the master of turning burdens into blessings".
I felt a sudden relieve as I read that.. coz all this while I know I have been strifing.. but for what??? for nothing... Sigh.. As such, I need to take time off to get back to basics... For those of you who have faithfully lent me a ear.. you know what I'm ranting on.. Hehe.. thanks a lot for the great advice, for the shoulder to cry on, and especially to hubby for being just there for letting me let out everything when I know he's busy having his exams... hahaha.. Looking forward to a real break.... :)
