Preservation

There are people who propels you up, and there are those who bring you down.

There are also those who seemingly crushes your confidence but exalts your potential to where it's never been. On the other hand, those who catapults you to a higher platform (with good intentions) can cause you to fall from a great height.

I have yet to meet the former, but I may just know two particular persons in the latter category.

A chairman and a senior. ECA and work. Passion and direction.

Independent yet closely linked, conflicting yet parallel.

Not pointing fingers at the latter type, but rather as a reminder to myself that they are potential hazards to my character. A character that is easily conceited, over-confident, and proud.

But I thank God for His grace and mercy, that in spite of it all, He never once let my pride and self-importance overcome me to wander far from Him. Even as I struggle to wring myself out of those excruciating circumstances, He never budges and let me have my way. I hold strongly to the faith that if I am in His will, He will preserve me where He wants me to be. Wherever.

Here I am to stay, and stay here I will. Be it in this abbreviated committee or that abbreviated organisation. Till He paves the way for me to go.
