I was given an offer by my colleague to take over her position as a representative in the Quality Department. Having seen her going back to work even on off days and staying late for the weekly(?) every other day(?) or daily basis meeting prompted me to say a big N-O! I have no contradictions with people changing from one desire to another; in fact for me, it's a positive sign for personal and professional growth. When I came here to work, my focal points are on capitals letters':EXPERIENCE (from being independent, living on my own rules to no rules at all, traveling a destination outside my comfort zone)
MONEY ( to reach out for those I want to offer help--esp those listed in my short term-long term goals)..
But being away in chase of my purpose, I found my calling instead. And yes, it's in serving I found greatest joy. So when she laid down the offer, I have no doubt of saying no. I don't want to serve papers, I want to serve people: reaching out to them, relating to them, communicating to them (even just a trying hard copycat). Although I want money, I want my peace of mind moreover. "Sometimes good things distract us of what we were made for" my sister told me. And so I'm careful of the "good things". I don't want it to rob away from me my found joy in being a lowly servant---of God's beloved.
What's your good thing? Keep watch!
