Surprised Recognition

Sharing the status I posted on Facebook:

My story started exactly January of 2017. I didn’t know anyone here prior to joining so I really started establishing relationships from scratch. Being an introvert, it would’ve been a struggle but our team is so accommodating that you’ll easily feel at home.

I am so grateful to have very supportive bosses. I’ve been working for almost a decade and I would say that I’m lucky to have a mentor, a friend and a critic all rolled into each one of them. I’ve learned so much from you and will continue to look up to all of you as I take on new challenges and opportunities. You’re both instrumental as well in my continuous improvement.

To my teammates and colleagues who always try to make every single day a joke time no matter how serious our work is, thank you! I was wrong to think that we always need to be serious in this industry. With all your positivities, who would’ve thought that we can be productive without stressing ourselves too much. I’m sorry for being your complete opposite though - the serious and boring one. Lol! I’m closing 2017 (I know it’s not even Christmas yet but who cares? Lol!) with high hopes. Thank you for the recognition. I truly appreciate it. 

Lord,

You surprised me today. I was really not expecting that. Thank you!

I know I did a lot of things at work. There were times that it feels like I'm not getting any credits but You still encouraged me to go on. There were times that I wanted to quit because I feel like I'm not being valued but You never let me quit. It was You who gave me the perseverance to continue running my race. And now, this.

Thank you, Lord, for believing in me and for your gifts of talent and wisdom.

Help me, Lord, to continue to be humble. Allow me to honor You for my every victory. Teach me how to be generous and share your blessings with those around me.

Amen.
