life?

location : office.. duhh..

time: 11:11 AM

country : Cebu, Philippines

Well, I'm just sitting here. Trying to figure out what I'm actually doing. Sometimes I wonder why I go blank in a while, and then not think about anything. Is there really too much going on in my mind or there's just nothing going on in my mind?

I really have an issue of being discipline. These couple of days seems so dull. :( I don't know why. Maybe because I'm missing home, thinking about Salatiga, what I'm going to do when I go back home and such.

Last week was much better. My walk with God was also good. I think I need to spend more time with Him. Really, He does give you joy in your everyday activities. Sad to admit, I know that He is my fuel, my saviour and my redeemer but somehow other things still distract me from Him. Oh Laura.. :(


I really wish I could be one of those passionate people you know?
That really have a heart for the Lord. I do have, but sometimes I'm just too selfish to give my time for Him. I think more about my social life and not about my eternal life with Him. I should really use the time I have in this world to build His kingdom and glorify Him. But somehow everything we do here is just trying to glorify ourselves. tragic,ey?


Lord, I really need you.


I miss my family. I miss Salatiga.

I still don't know what I'll be doing. But I trust God and I am willing to go anywhere He wants me to be. What I wrote in twitter today:

'There's a God-shaped void in the heart of every man, which only God can fill it'.

I want that void to be filled. By God himself. Not any worldly things.


Have a beautiful day everyone!


Love,
Laura :)

office work?

Location : Cebu, Philippines

Time: 13:46

So.. right now I'm in my office.. I know, OFFICE.. i just graduated high school, oh my..

But living on board Logos Hope really give me lots of opportunities to grow in so many different aspects. From cleaning bathrooms, to being a receptionist, now I work in an office.

hehe.. as the Business Centre Administrator..

So just a bit background, I'm responsible for all the outgoing and incoming mails, printers, laminations, stationaries, ect and I do some administration work too. It's quite different to think that I've never had any work experience and such but it's also a great privilege God has given me.

I learned so much! I love the people that I work with and even though it was tough at the beginning but I learn to love what I'm doing. I don't know work could be so exhausting. The first month I was here, oh my, my head couldn't stop thinking. There were so many things to think about and to consider in the actions that I do.

But praise God he was with me through all those times.

here's the picture of my desk in my office.. I love it! you're own personal space besides your cabin (room onboard).

Well, I work from 09:00 -17:00 everyday, except for weekends.

I kinda miss school.. actually, I really miss High School.. Sometimes I think that school was hard, but actually, it was so FUN! Especially the friends I have.. :)

Oke, now this is like a job description kinda post.. haha.. sorry..

Owh well,

Have a wonderful day everyone! May God's joy be with you always..

"Those who look to the Lord are radiant" - Psalm 34:6 (NIV)

always,

It's just amazing how God really brought us to where we are now, despite all the struggles we are facing with our engine and things. We keep on praying..

In Penang, Malaysia my dad and my brother, Peter came to visit. It was a blessed moment together.

In Singapore I met my whole family!!! oh my gosh! my mom and my sis! I miss them SO much! we had Christmas together onboard.. it was great.. i love them to bits!

they left just before new year, i was kinda devastated but I got through with it. i know that I'll see them again soon.. sooner than I think I will..

Uurgh.. there's just so many to tell..

i'm sure i will write more..

we'll be in the Philippines for 6 months! wow! I just pray that God would really work in my heart to really have a servant heart and really love the people i see there so that his light and hope will be shown in the country. :)

Enjoy your day everyone! :)
