New Job

As I have said I have recently started a new job and today and tomorrow I am on a 'train a trainer' course. Today was really interesting as we looked at MBTI this is a psychomatric test to assess what type of person you are. Basically you have to answer about 80 odd questions and then it put you into a specific tyoe. I actually guessed accurately what type I was before we did it which shows I know myself quite well and that I accept what I am. So I am ESFJ and if you know me well and take the time to read the hypolink then you will see its very accurate.
Its really good cos now I can see why I react in a certain ways to different. Wht dont you check out yourselves, you'll be surprised at how accurate it is.

Also on another note I have found out that our CEO (chief Executive Officier) at work is a christian and he is currently sorting out having discussions at work about faith and has invited staff to come to a talk. I emailed him as I had an interest in this and I am having a meeting with him next week to look at getting involbed in this. I have just realised again how amazing God works. I have as you know quit Alpha at church as I felt I didnt want to be involved in it again at church for now and also that tied in with me getting a new job means I can not always guarentee I will be around every week to lead it as I may be away with work. So whats happened??? God's arranged something else for me to get involved in which will fit in to my new working load as it is a work thing.

about me

I went to church again on Sunday this week and had a much better reaction this week. I went for prayer after the service and felt much better about where I am with God at the mo. I do think its down to me to draw closer to God for him to draw closer to me.

I had a lunch meeting with my new boss and then the director of our department the other day, it was quite interesting as we got on to talking about me being a Christian and that was the discusion then for the whole lunch. Its nice to talk to work collegues about my faith I think becuase its not often something that happens. I dont make a point of shouting it off the rooftops to all who want to listen so not all my collegues know but at the same time I dont hide it either. I just tend to go with the flow and if it seems right to discuss it then I will. Neither of my collegues are christians from what we discussed but it was interesting to hear their views an opinions even if we disagreed on a few things. One of them had even been on an Alpha course! But I dont find these situation can sometimes be difficult as I dont want to rubbish someone elses views as I wouldnt expect anyone to do that to me but at the same time it is difficult to not want to try and make people see the benefits of my faith. I do often find as well that I end up getting in a situation where people will ask me questions to perhaps understand me and why I believe what I do but then I dont have the answer. I figure then that they find flaws in my faith as I used to try and do with my christian friends before I became a christian.

New job is going well though, I am in a situation at the mo though where because we're a new department theres not a lot I can be getting on with until other people have done stuff. This is not me at all, I think some people would love this, get paid for an easy job but I'm not like that I like to be kept busy and get stuff done. Things will pick up though in the next week or so, I'll just have to sit tight. Like my new boss as well so thats always a good start to a new job.

Valentines day coming up next week and I have booked a cottage for the weekend in the cotwolds for me and my boyfriend. Really looking forward to going on nice country walks and coming back to a log fire! makes me sound really old but I think its just things like that that can make you really content.

Then I think we may be going away with my boyfriends parents to Egypt in April so I have nice things to look forward to.

My sister in Law (well would be if my boyfriend asked me to marry him, hint hint!) is pregnant at the moment and she sent me a photo of her scan today, it was nice to see and the baby was sucking its thumb. I call it 'IT' because they dont know what it is and dont want to find out so that its a suprise when it arrives. I think thats a nice thing to do!
