Bring it on

Was having these experiences at work over the week:

Had an inter-ministry meeting which was in effect my departed colleague's portfolio. As I didn't have time to read up on it, I had recalled something that he mentioned while I was in the cab. Glad that I had called him to clarify as it was needed at the meeting.

And then I realised that I was the most junior person at the table and the DD next to me asked if I was from the International Relations department. Well, according to the portfolio distribution, I am the only person doing international relations so ...

And then there was this meeting on Monday when we had to invite people from various Ministries. We thought that everything was done and dusted until Darius came and talked about the slides for presentation, then I realised that we made an oversight and did not invite a key Ministry. It was that kind of "Eureka" moment and while evrything is settled at this time, I can't help but to reflect and realise that no one is watching my back (cos we had presented the list of attendees several times and no one noticed anything amiss). Let's say that no one covers the star player because he should be able to fend for himself (heh)

Work is one aspect but there are also other areas where I am battling. I was doing my QT a few days ago and this illustration made by Kenneth Copeland encouraged me. He said that every sports player strives to reach the highest level and when they reach the Premier League or NFL or NHL, these guys meet the toughest and meanest enemies but will not pray that the coach doesn't pick them. Instead, they relish the challenge.

The scripture was 1 Peter 4:12-19

Not trying to spiritualise everything but it is not too difficult to know what came about because of sins and what's not. The experiences now are likely to be of the latter. The harder it gets, the closer it is for me to reach a breakthrough.

I should perhaps start penning a self-help book heh.
