In between penning down reflections on anniversary and various happenings in school, I was just thinking how glad I am that my career advancements and other developments in my measly life are in the hands of God. School is probably as harmless as any workplace can get, but the extensiveness of human fallibility definitely reaches it as well, sometimes to even greater impact. So there are all these things going on in this little world, and sometimes it makes one wonder why and how. Starting work also has prompted me to see the kind of competitiveness that takes place in this arena, and hearing stories from other friends about their workplaces and their colleagues make me very thankful for mine, albeit still mildly wary in case I overstep the fine line between friendliness and friendship.
Thus it is definitely reassuring to have one thought to go back to: my days have been fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. (Psalm 139) There is no need to want to prove anything; whatever is given to me is given to me for a reason, and I shall learn to do them all with the same spirit of excellence I see in those around me, given to me.
