More than a month has passed and I am still adjusting on my graveyard shift. I keep on praying for the Lord to deliver me to my new work schedule and provide an opportunity for me a less stressful environment and whoala! Here goes my vertigo…it's attacking me. So ironic, last year I promised to myself that I am going to improve my health so that I could better serve my family and our Community. (one of my main goal). Unfortunately, here I am, stuck in a graveyard shift and struggling to adjust my body clock to be awake in the evening just to do my job well. However, for several weeks, I found myself so challenged by learning my new environment (I considered it new because of the time) that I would think back on my previous schedule.
Last night, I was browsing my old e-mails on my Filing Cabinet folder and saw this one with a subject line “My Lingkod Family”. As I opened it, I saw faces of brothers and sisters then and now. I could not help but smiled and my mind raced with excitement as I reminisced some unforgettable happy moments on the picture. Somehow, this picture served as a reminder that I would temporarily forget my hardships at work, most importantly, my many cries to the Lord for deliverance.
We sometimes look back, thinking that what we had was better. We may even want to go back to the familiar environment. Instead, we can remind ourselves that when the Lord answers a prayer for deliverance, we are to keep moving forward in faith.
God often astounds us by turning endings into beginnings. That gives us faith to look at the future. Because we know God will not abandon us, we focus our eyes ahead to see where God is calling next, knowing God will be there too. So I say to myself and to you…”Let go and let God”.
God bless us all! :)
