"Unless you are faithful in small matters, you won't be faithful in large ones." - Luke 16:10a (NLT)

Life is a test and a trust. What begs the next question - how do we know with what are we tested and with what are we entrusted with? I think the key is in the verse above - small matters. We are to be faithful in small matters.

Oftentimes, we think that we should and can do big things for God. Sometimes God calls us to courageously step forward to accomplish great things for him; however most times it is the small matters that really matters to God. The seemingly insignificant, mundane, common stuff of our life:

- Showing care and love to our parents everyday by helping with chores, being respectful and even just spending time with them;
- Being a good student by diligently doing the work required of you and by being honest;
- Doing what is expected of you at work by working hard as if it's for God;
- Giving thanks to God for the little graces in life and living life with gratitude and cheer; and
- Many others seemingly little things.

Small matters, but they matters to God. For it is in the small matters that our character is built, one small thought and action at a time.

That was from Ollie's blog..
It reminds me of what my mum said to me about how she cant trust me with heavier responsibilities when I cant even take care of the little things at home. (like keeping my room tidy..-_-") Mother's words.. be it biblical or not.. Its always to certain extent, true... N I shall try .. to do the small things that pleases God and my parents. consistently...*

I've been complaining and complaining about how boring my job is.. only to realise it now that im in fact very fortunate and blessed. God blessed me!

1. I got this job when I decided to just let God lead me.(was frantic about my unemployed status at that time)
2. Wanted admin. Got admin.
3. I'm entitled to msn, surf the net, listen to fm. (God gave knowing that I cant stand the monotone..)
4. the entire office listens to class 95 all day. (like Wow!)
5. there's recreation room where we play soccer on PS during lunch time.
6. entitled to use the little gym facilities.
7. wanted a job that allows me to take leave for church camp..went Batam and back
8. I can almost leave as n when I wan to since my pay is via 'per hour'.. (ok tats not really a plus pt.. no work means no pay... haha)
9. now that I'm sick of admin. its a mundane job, esp when its temp.. God gave me rest. Though it also means my pay will be $72 less.. still its rest. N I suppose I need it. My boss says that I do not have to work the next two days. Praise the Lord!

Then I'll have the time to stay at home, do what I have been wanting to do.. Rest in the day for night cycling on fri(hopefully..).. SEE! what more can I ask for!? God has already given me the best! hmm.. so I shant complain...about my job :)

Argh.. my back is aching... (just right after i say I shant complain). Its aching for some unknown reason:S pray for me!!!! Im getting old i suppose... o well. hee
