TRUST is something which I take seriously. Without Trust there can’t be any relationships or strong bonds between one individual and another. Without Trust the fabric which builds and binds a family will come crumbling down.
Many a times when I feel that I’m ready to give up and throw in the towel I refer back to the Proverb 3:5 when I feel that my faith is wavering. It does help me refocus my goals in life and make me soldier on. It also reminds me to cast all my worries to the LORD and he will help to see me through any rough patches which I may be going through.
It’s more then 10 yrs since I’ve been in Australia. Back then while as a University student I was much more fit and slimmer as compared to today. My status has also changed a lot since then. From a single to attached and now married with three kids a lot has happened this past 10+ years. I can say I have been greatly blessed.
I have more wrinkles and white hairs now as compared to back then as a carefree student. My daily workload is much heavier then before but I’m enjoying it more. I guess that it has taken 12 years to get to where I am now. I have been through quite a bit of life experience this past decade but it has worked to shaped me into a better person.
I can say that now I am more patient after having 3 kids of my own. However there are certain things which I’ve given up being tolerant about which includes being nice to people who are really hard to get along with. I don’t put up with other people’s nonsense and bend over back to accommodate requests/demands that seem ridiculous to me. Doesn’t mean that you are “family” that you are allowed to take advantage of my generosity.
I’m more efficient now at multi-tasking as compared to before. I think it is a skill that is born out of necessity to handle kids, work and household. My focus in life hasn’t changed much. I’m still focusing a lot on the family and it’s constantly evolving needs. I’m more organised and task oriented and have learned how to make use of the time in the day to do my work/tasks effectively.
