God works in mysterious ways

I am happy today. =) It just dawned on me that even God knows when to take a break.

Initially, I kinda started this day with a not-so great feeling. For one thing, sira ang sched ko. I originally intended this day to continue doing the model I was doing for sideline and tomorrow, I get to attend design class. Kaso, something came up at work that required me to get moving and meet up with our structural consultant right away. Dali dali ko pang tinawagan si Tricia.

So Trish and I met up with the consultant today. Buti available sya and his assistants. So ayun, yesterday evening I already decided to miss design class because I won't be able to maximize today.

For some reason though, I had time. We were done with the structural consultation meeting before noon, and I could have gone home to proceed doing the model. But Marvin texted me and invited me to attend mass in Tagaytay with Ma'am A and Shawie. Hmmm....under usual circumstances, I would have declined, since I had more pressing matters to attend to. In fact, Marvin already asked me the previous day about Tagaytay, and I think I said something that tantamounted to a "no" because I was thinking of all the things I needed to accomplish.

But today, I leapt at the chance. I missed my honey, and heck. Priorities. I already decided to devote an entire day to the model. I also need to devote some time to myself and the people who matter the most to me.

We went to the mass at Pink Sisters and then we ate dinner at a popular restaurant along the ridge. Super fun, even if I was chattering throughout the entire meal because of the really cold wind.^^;;

I just want to say I'm really glad I decided to go. I had the chance to connect not just with Marvin but with old friends. Office issues kung office issues (fave topic of conversation). And I got to attend mass. It's almost as if God is telling me to take a break, even providing mass as a refreshing change from the daily grind.

One of the things I prayed for while I was in Pink Sisters is the strength and focus to continue what I do. I feel naman na God is giving me that strength, yung psych resilience na I could do it and finish things on time. Not just the model, but also with my work in the office and of course, review. I'll be the first to admit I'm not the fastest worker around. But I am confident that God will help me handle things. I have a lot of things to be grateful for. I just want to make sure na I make the most out of everything and balance things. Ngayon, I'm just trying to see the good side of things based from the output. I may sacrifice some things like missing a class or not being able to stick to a regular study schedule for now, but I refuse to panic. I know that God will provide me with extra focus sa studies because of this, and I'll learn a couple of things along the way. And He'll provide the breaks too, just like today, which was totally unplanned.
