Week 94 - 1st week of internship
What is God doing in our lives this period? I think if i can summarise up mine, it would be 1st day God says, let's warm up. 2nd day on it's go! don't stop! your best! your very best! (Rem Facing the Giants?) Very reminiscent of year 2 sem 1 chuiness.
Brief background about CTI Chemicals Asia Pacific:
- Oil field chemicals company, service provider to companies like BP and Shell.
- Located at Science Park (near NUS)
- It has around 30 ppl in the Singapore branch, bigger fish outside though.
- The HR department has got my direct boss, and me.
- If you have friends in any field of engineering who intends to do Industrial Attachment Year 3 Sem 2, pls feel free to contact me. CTI looking for interns, think chem engineering would be a good course area.
--> God has prepared me for this. I know it. When i first saw this choice out of my 6, this was the furthest and i thought to myself, hmm maybe who knows God will give me this so that i'll be tested. After all, this was the furthest out of the 6.
Really thank God for this week:
- For nudging me to go to work as early as 7.45am so that i can do QT in the office before work starts at 8.15. (Prayer answered)
- For giving me a quiet spot to do work, where big bosses are not around.
- For reminding me about my inadequacies in the field, especially during the 2nd day when i followed my boss to a forum at soem hotel where we were discussing HR issues with many industry players. (Wah piang. Want to smoke also cannot, they know their stuff well.)
- For teaching me how i can support my boss and be a good armor bearer. Having loads of work and not being able to delegate the stuff to me cuz i'm still a noob in my first week of intern and need to learn the ropes first, kinda sucks.
- For showing me once again the realism of life outside from a different perespective, that corporate life ain't the most prettiest sight around when you're looking through the spiritual specs.
- For keeping me reasonably sane. Haven't had enough rest the whole week, but God has carried me through. (All rise to "He is able")
- * For allowing THAT time of lunch when my boss shared about her experience with Christanity with me. Felt burdened. Pray that God will really open up doors for more sharing.
Lastly, God sustains us through His Word. 2 verses that really shook me this :
Mark 13:11b Just say whatever is given to you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the HS.
It is what i term "Living by the Spirit". When we are tired and weary, and still needing to be alert and focused, all the more so if we are speaking to someone who needs to know God, we really need the HS. Want to be more sensitized to the HS, that God's truths may speak through us as his vessels to people in the workplace. True, worldly temptations are all around (i feel them), no matter how much we consider ourselves to be more spiritual than others, we are nothing but mere vessels that can be moulded by God only if we are willing and humble. Love the times God humbles me through His Spirit.
1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect
I may not be that prepared. May not even be prepared 10 years down the road. But with whatever faith i have, i'll do my best. Just pray that we'll be willing to allow God to force the best out of us, just like how Brock did the deathcrawl with his eyes blindfolded.
