Department-Alone

Many of us had experienced home alone. I have been alone at home since i was still in Primary School, which was just for few hours everyday, when my parents went to work.

What happens if all your colleagues in the office takes leave & you were left all alone for up to a week? Even the head of department went for holiday.

It happens to me just a week ago. I dreaded this day to happen. When the bosses approved my colleagues' leaves, i feel happy for them, but AT THE SAME TIME i felt .. "Why do you guys leave me all alone????" Then they told me not to worry, because the manager would be around, sharing my workload. Then i had a strong feeling that i would surely be bullied...

I prayed that God will be my provision, & He will provide me with angels to assist me, although at that moment it seemed not so possible since the most likely person to work with me would be my manager, who is someone higher authority than me. But i still let God take care of the situation. I even prayed that the workload would be miraculously lesser.

Well, I really thank our Almighty God that He has indeed provided me with an angel.. a trainee in the Technical Department, who eventually became my assistant during the week. She is such a helpful girl & I like her a lot. I really can't make it without her...

Managers & others kept asking me how am i doing handling all things alone.. My answer was always "OK i'm fine". They were surprised & couldn't believe me.. My manager started to give me a "superwoman" title which i think i'm far from that. Well, I'm glad to hear that actually.. All honor & glory be to our Father in Heaven!

I have also found out later that the office was ghosted that week. That week when i was department-alone, i went home around 7pm every night (ALONE), doing my work with most efficiency. I have found out later that the whole office knew about it except me. They said because they did not want to freak me out as they know i would be leaving the office late every night (AND ALONE, & switching off the lights, locking the doors ALONE)

Really thank God for all His provision & protection! God is our refuge & strength, always & forevermore.

This leads me to Psalm 23, where .. though i'm alone, "I will fear no evil, for You are with me".

May God bless you all.
