Gw dapet email ini dari temen kantor, right after I got back from Banti (another exciting and thrilling experience yang akan gw ceritain lain kali). Gw suka banget ama kata2 dalam email tersebut. It had me at hello (halah, kok jadi kayak jerry mcguirre).
Jadi isi emailnya adalah Mazmur 23 yang dimodifikasi untuk orang-orang yang bekerja. Here is the verse:
The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want — I’m wondering why everyday I always want something in my job, this is it. Because I haven’t made God as my Boss. Even, sometimes gw lupa kalo gw harusnya bisa mengandalkan Dia.
He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me. This is just sooo God. Yeah, after looking back to the past, chaos was coming over and over again in my job, but still I have peace when I think of Him.
He gently reminds me to pray and do all things without murmuring and complaining. This is he part where I always fail. Yep, He really always reminds me to pray when chaos was coming and I’ve been completely mad at my job, but I always say, God now is not the time. I’ll do it at home when I have a peaceful time. And then I start complaining. i’m such an idiot!!
He reminds me that He is my source and not my job. He restores my sanity everyday and guides me decisions that I might honor Him in all that I do. Hahahahaha, thanks God, that You restore my sanity everyday. Because if You don’t, then I’ll be one of the craziest people in this town.
Even though I face absurd amounts of emails (which is happen to me almost everyday), system crashes (no comment dah), unrealistic deadlines (another no comment), budget cutbacks, gossiping co-workers, discriminating supervisors, and an aging body that does not cooperate every morning, I still will not stop – for He is with me! His presence, His peace, and His power will see me through. Amen! That’s all I can say about this part. For He is with me, that I can be as I am now.
He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me. He claims me, as His own even when the company threatens to let me go. Slap me right at my face!! Wake up, He claims as His own Ki, how come and how dare you be so complaining about this permanent thing.
His faithfulness and love is better than any bonus cheque. His retirement plan beats any 401k there is! When it’s all said and done, I’ll be working for Him a whole lot longer and for that I bless His name!!
What a psalms! Give me strength to pass another day in this jobsite.
