I want to share about God's blessing at my workplace yesterday. At the end of lunch I called Je to talk about goign to cinema on Sat, as she had requested. However she indirectly hinted that I shouldn't be going out to meet Ja on Saturday as it is "Je's" day. I felt Je was not very understanding that Ja needs someone to talk to at this time (he'd just split up). Also Je tried to reschedule things for me, telling me I'll need to take mum shopping earlier and meet Ja earlier. Even asked me how long I'd be talking to Ja for.

I couldn't take it any longer and I told her to stop as I felt so restricted and I don't like to be controlled. Je apologised and said just to forget the cinema. I said we didn't need to forget cinema, it's just I cannot confirm plans until Aaron confirms what day/ time is suitable for us to meet him so Je can talk to him about studies etc.

After we hung up I felt very unhappy and angry. Yvonne walked passed on her to way lunch and asked if I'm alright to which I responded NO. I shared what just happened to Yvonne who encouraged me to do the right thing and go see Ja, that Je should understand. Yvonne told me not to let these things get to me, as I haven't quite been myself recently. I thanked her for encouragement and went back to type stuff on a log for Je.

At the end of her lunch Yvonne came up to my desk and put a bag of Aero Bubbles onto my desk. I looked up to ask her what it was for and Yvonne told me it was to cheer me up. I found that really kind, sweet and caring of her. Really, she didn't have to do that. I was very touched at this kindness and I thanked Yvonne countlessly. At that time, words could not express my gratitude.

I later prayed to God, thanking Him for sending Yvonne to encourage me. I really didn't expect it at all. It just shows that God can use anyone to encourage and support you, esp at times of need. I am reminded I need to smile and be happy as God loved me very much =)
