someone who believes in you...

I had a good time of sharing with my boss last Fri when she came up to help with the infant side and so did I. Thought I'll share with you some things she said that speaks to me. She had mentioned earlier to me that she had wanted to speak to me. She drew the baby she was rocking to the middle of the room, while I took mine too to face her =) And the rest of the babies surrounded us, while my other colleagues stayed at other rooms.
She corrected me on something and gently explained to me the reason why. Others would have thought she would have sounded me for that. I thought so too and was prepared for it, yet I know her a little better now that she's not that sort. After all she 'scolds' or corrects us quite often. I believe Esther and Jofid would have gotten a share of it even though they'll only part time staff. Heh-
The one thing she said that really touches me was when she told me she likes me. It really didn't occur to me for a boss to tell that to an employee. One may be very careful with telling this as the employee may take advantage of it having known it. Instead of feeling important I felt loved and humbled. I thank god for wonderful colleagues who makes me laugh and that helps me a lot when I'm really tired. I'm certainly not someone who have it all together, she tells me that too. In fact lots of area I still need to work on. I love it when she told me that to really love a person, she'll tell them their mistakes. And she's very direct. I think no one has ever been so direct to me like her before. It hurts at first but I'm used to it now and it helps a lot to correct on the areas she highlight. She once told me I have saving grace haha- Grace :) 
She said she have higher expectation on me esp more when I've studied physio before and am a Christian. The next thing she said that amazes me more was because I'm ambassador of Christ in my work place. And our body language speaks the loudest. Wow. Little did she know that I serve in Ambassador(Befrienders) in church. And that spoke volume to me. How true that our non-believer frens sees most how we interact with them and others around us. For a man looks at the exterior.
I shared to her too about what I've learnt during the four days I was back with my nephew(previous post). She shared to me her life story too and it confirms it. That when Jesus is the center in your life, nothing can move you.
"Do you know how I can handle the centre everyday", she asked me. "I pray every morning before I come to work" =)
Awhile later, the person in charge stepped in and looked worried as we were going to be shorthanded for closing. With calmness, she told her to pray. Have faith =) And the lady is actually from New Creation too. Heh.
I'm grateful to know I'm in good hands. For me to be extended mercy in my mistakes, have taught me to extend it to others as well. It's not easy at times, but what makes me think that it was easy for others as well :) But they did it anyway.
