Mercy
I was very stressed about the workload in the hospital, the amount of backlog reading I have, some annoying politicking and unfairness going on in the department; and then my phone decided to be silent on me.
There was no ringtone at all but I could hear the caller from the other end of the line and listen to music via the earphones. This was like one tiny bad of the day but it’s tininess is enough as the last straw to break the camel’s back.
I sat there, tired of it all and was wondering when should I drive to the mall to get it looked at, avoiding the crazy fasting month traffic. My mind just couldn’t work so I just sat there, totally helpless. Then I do the one thing that I know how even when my mind and body give up. I prayed.
I said to God, I don’t need big miracles I just need the smallest burden to be removed from me for the moment because it’s too much for the day. If it is His will, I added of course.
When I opened my eyes, it happened – my phone rang with a received SMS.
Praise the Lord!
Was unworthy, but He gave anyway…

A prayer a day, keeps the doc away..=)
My cousin once told me that it takes 3 people in an office to form a political group. How true it is.
Keep your passion in doing your best. We can control ourselves, but not others ( I keep reminding myself these days as I am pretty irritated by ppl who do not bother to clear up the kitchen daily basis.
