It's Monday again. Although a part of me still need to be dragged to move, at least my mood was not as bad. Aside from the slow business at least God blessed me with 2 new appointments for tomorrow. I guess it's true you have to claim God's favor everyday. My current boss said that usually from 10 cold calls that you make, most likely that you will get none. Well today, from the 3 I made just now, I got 1 1/2... the half part is because this client may want to see us again to clinch a deal with us, but he was too busy and I have to call him up to remind him. Hehehe. At least he didn't cancel, right?
Yesterday I listened to a great sermon about facing your day. Know how to live your life at rest. Too much relying on your self is not good. You got to rely more on God and actually believe that He will come through for you. I know it's kind of lame to have to be reminded everyday that His provision is always sufficient, but sometimes facing the dour faces of the people around me makes me remember that we're still attached to the sucky world.
I went to a job interview last Wednesday. I still have my current job, but I think the more I stayed here the more I know that this is not what I wanted. Sometimes I wonder if there's such a thing that really fits me best. But I guess there are lots of jobs out there yet to be ventured so why not. Now, the message yesterday really speak to me about when God didn't open the door, that means it's not for you. The best one is yet to come, although you thought that it may be the one that you need to take on. The result from my interview was not revealed yet. The lady... I think her name is Catherine, told me that she might give me a call either "Friday or next week..." Friday passed with no call. But the "next" week has just started. For some reason I was happy after the interview last Wednesday. It's quite a short one, but for some reason I thought I did good. But no matter what, God will provide. I just need to believe more in Him and also myself.
Some of the funny things also the fact that some of my clients are also offering their job openings to me too. Am not being headhunted... not yet at least :P, but they let me know that there is an opening, or just asked me to try their offices. Some clients are just nice :)
Also I learn more to be more sensitive to God's voice. He can use the simplest and mundane things to let us know that He is in control. Great thing is that Jon is starting to experience those sort of things also. For example... Mid August, around my birthday time, I became unwell and I'm having a hard time focusing on my job (you can count this one also, hehehe). My head was woozy most of the time and I became absent minded. As much as I would like to try my ability to multi task, the other part of the details start to fall apart. It's like trying to scoop water and trying not to spill any. It's doable, but again my hand is small. If you get my gist. On that Thusday after the hiccup on my project, that's not my faulty, I left the office, heading to Takashimaya to pick up certain items for my client. As I entered the taxi, my cellphone battery beeped. It's dying. Not even a single bar on the phone battery. As the journey was close to approach my destination, there's a still small voice talking to me... "Check your wallet..." I did. And I panicked when I noticed that my wallet is nowhere to be found. And I couldn't even remember whether I took it out from the bag. Again the voice said, "Call home..." I used my last energy on my cellphone to call home and good thing was my family is around to help bailing me from the taxi bill. I went home rather than go to Takashimaya. Later on my mom took me there and help me gather item for my client.
The next day. The weather was really bad. It was raining and I have to carry 2 large frames to my customer's place. Jon gave me some money for cab, because I have to meet with my client first before going to office. This time the attack was targeting my handphone. Not that I forgot to bring them, as I was carrying out my duty, the phone drop from my pants and inside the taxi cab without me realizing. My client was late, but again, there's a nudge... "Call your client..." And because of it I realized that my phone was not with me. I tracked down the taxi and later got my phone back safely. As much as I want to claim stress for the day, I got myself some adrenaline rush to perk myself up. And proving God was actually going to work with me. I told my experiences to my colleagues, who are non Christians. I didn't even quote God in my story. One of them saying, "There must be an angel looking out for you." With the remark, I became a bit bold and actually admit it. Yes, there's an angel sent for me. Thank God.
