My eyes rejoice in God's creations / Mano akys džiaugiasi tavo Kūrinija, Viešpatie


I was lucky today to work at home.
So I could rest well.

I woke up, however, with the pain in my stomach.
It was a difficult day yesterday, it felt as if all my energy was dragged out of me...

Sometimes I think I am too instable
because I let my emotions overrule me and mess up my plans.

On the other hand, I am learning
how much I depend on God's mercy and people's kindheartedness.

And that I still need to learn just to love myself and accept myself the way I am :)

It is totally true that we can be the cruelest judges of ourselves.

I showed to my manager what I have done so far,
we've had a discussion in Dutch! and he was glad with my work.

But then we went to the meeting with the client
organization and the Head was speaking so fast while my task was to put

down the important items, to understand them and to direct him
in the direction what we need to hear and find out.

Which meant fast decision of what I should say and
formulating it precisely in Dutch.

Luckily, my manager was there. As I couldn't always understand
what Mart was telling.

I am grateful to God for this job, at this moment
it is an interesting challenge and rich learning, it will get better.

My stomach still aches, I don't have any painkillers.
But my mind sings a song. At first it came as a melody,

but later I could remember the words:
"Why so downcast, oh my soul? Put your hope in God,
Put your hope in God!"
