I'm theming my week "Lunch with Wonderful Colleagues". I have lunch appointments with at least three pairs of colleagues - Mon to Wed :)

Pair #1: Monday (today) - this was really abrupt because I saw a former intern who came back to work for yet another short period. Then I realised another intern whom I also know has came back with him. We knew each other in May - same job training batch.

Pair #2: Tuesday - tomorrow, I'm gonna lunch with two colleagues whom I've known since American Express days. This means I've known them for about 20 months. One of them will be leaving and yet, the other has just rejoined the company last week. It's so bittersweet; this separation & reuniting thing.

Pair #3: Wednesday - this would be lunch with colleagues I got to know through a fire drill in October. :D there had been relocation for many departments this year and theirs was one of those affected. We sit just less than ten workstations away from each other.

I've come to see how God works in very amazing ways. Ways you and I can not imagine. It's just beyond us. He is creative, mysterious and always love surprising us.

Three different groups of colleagues. Three different ways of getting to know them at three different phases of my life.

For each pair, I've prayed and asked for God to bring the friendship to a higher level. For each pair, God did.

You know we'd never know how each person can change our lives or the impact we can make on each person's life.

I didn't think I would meet the interns after they left months back. I didn't think I would see a former Amex colleague come back. I didn't think I would get to know the people I so wanted to befriend with at a fire drill.

God is divine..and so is everything that He's got a touch on. :)
