During the year-end all hands (All employees meeting) our business leader did not have any slides! (The session is usually a run through of some numbers and colorful graphs in the ppt) So we were in for a surprise and he said that he was going to talk about “Transformation” of each team. He became our business leader some two years back and he spoke of how each team has transformed itself from what they were before to what they are now. An interesting thought!
Now that one more year is gone by, I think it is a good time to look back and see our own “transformation” story! How did we start this year? How we have progressed so far? Where do we stand now? When I look back at my story this year… (Flashback)
The first thing that comes to my mind is I had joined a new team in Feb with a promotion. New role, new responsibilities, new technologies, new team, new manager, new cubicle J new projects (Till mid-year I was handling the old project too) It was a big transformation for me. And God helped me to accept it all, to learn so much, to bond with the people in my team, to speak out my thoughts, give my suggestions (which I had never done previously) I feel that over the last two years I have transformed from someone whom only my close friends in my team knew to someone whom most of the other team members in our sub section came to know (at least by name/by sight). Through various events and roles, God paved a way for me to gain “visibility”.
So that was all about my office. Now coming to my personal qualities, how have I transformed? Are my qualities more Christ-like? – Am I kinder? Do I help others more? When people see me, do they see Christ in me? Am I just a religious person or do my actions speak out of the transformed life? Because when Jesus comes into a person’s life the old things are gone and all things are new and we have to be transformed by the renewing of our mind.
How has my personal relationship with Jesus been? Are we more intimate than before? Do we spend more time together? Do we share the secrets of our hearts? Do I trust Him completely and give Him the Lordship in everything, or do I still hold things back? How have my doubts and questions transformed? Do I doubt His existence or His goodness or His faithfulness? Do I know Him more? Have I tasted more of Him in my life this year?
Lots of questions on my mind and I don’t wish to answer it here. Some have yes and some have No as answers – my God knows! I know I am not yet where I have to be but I am glad that I am not who I was! Hoping that I transform more into His likeness in the coming year – Have a wonderful and blessed New Year everyone!
