~ Bernie in Slovakia
Beloved, I give a short praise to my Love, because He is so beautiful and gives peace to our hearts when we least expect it. I have been working in a home office for about two and a half years now, since the spread of Covid-19. Apparently, our company has found that it is quite profitable and it looks like we will continue to work like this (praise Him, in one of my previous praise reports I wrote about how I prayed for the opportunity to stay at home).
We also stopped going on business trips abroad, which is slowly starting to take off. I have to admit that I wasn't excited about it at all. I think it's wasted money for 150 people on flights and tickets, taxis, hotel, food, wasted work time traveling and the like. It was much more efficient when we met online and solved and planned everything in a much shorter time than when we are present in Germany. When we talked about it within the Slovak team, I said several times that I didn't want to go there. I agreed that we would book hotel rooms because it was explained to me that it was no problem because it could be easily canceled and that we would wait with the buying of flight tickets.
A few days later, at a meeting with our German colleagues, we received the information that we will have a survey asking who wants and who does not want to participate in the business trip. But a few days passed before I noticed that the survey was already underway and when I went to fill it out and clearly state my position - that I don't want to go there - I found out that someone had already filled it out for me and with the opposite answer!
I was so angry and didn't understand what was happening to me. Our Slovak colleague filled it in for all of us, despite the fact that she knew I didn't want to go there. When I saw my name and the tick in the box next to it, I immediately unclicked it to make it clear to everyone that I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE!
I immediately asked my Love why it all happened, such audacity, what is behind it? At the end, I had the words in my head: "Do not resist evil". That's when I understood that I am not here to assert my views, but what is important is His will. I clicked that box back and told Him that I was very sorry and that I knew that whatever He had in store for me would be good for me. Whether I go there or not, I leave it up to Him, I give up all struggle and striving because He is fighting for me. My heart calmed down to the point where a smile appeared on my face! I was grateful to be able to apply biblical principles in real life and see immediate results \o/
