Of Battles and Blessings

The battles I have waged in the past few weeks were interesting enough:

• Our Moodle server wanted to go on vacation after midterm exam week, and I could not log-on and we could not see (read: all of the teachers thought we had lost all their online grades) student exam results;
• I was invited to the Young Hoteliers' Exposition as a judge for mocktails competition, but I was also asked to serve as judge for the praline competition; and lastly,
• I was contacted by one of my clients (Oracle Philippines) to do layout work for their management training manuals with a turnaround time of about 3 days.

Each of these battles has its own interesting story. In each of these "battles" though, I have realized that I have been truly blessed.

• I am blessed with good IT co-workers who know their work well and continually work with me to improve the system;
• I am blessed with enough patience and compassion to see the best in all things at all times; and
• I am blessed with kind clients who continually entrust important and interesting work to me.

I lift up these battles to my Creator, who continually blesses and provides for me beyond my expectations. I pray that my Lord continually guides me in the tough decisions that must be made and challenging projects that must be completed.

I will continue to do all my actions for the love of you.
