Today was a truly amazing day, I really saw God fitting the little pieces bit by bit, creating the "perfect" day for me. So full of "coincidences" I know it has got to be more than mere luck.
Sissy texted me around 1130am, asking if I could go online to video-call her. I was in a bit of a dilemma because I'm fasting from 12-6pm and I promised myself no getting onto the computer till after dinner. Worried that it's urgent, I decided to just come on to talk to her. While I was contemplating whether I should make it fast and get off by 12noon, I remembered that the other day when Yvonne and I were signing up for our fasting slots, we were "interrupted" halfway and a few of the younger ones "stole" one of my slot away... and it happens to be today! Which means, I didn't have to fast today.
Being an addict, I decided to stay online to chat for a while longer and just as I ended my conversation with Sissy and came back from lunch, Christina talked to me and asked me to proof-read a few chapters of her book. While I agreed readily, I recalled with guilt about the last time I said "Sure!" but the mail she sent me is still unread. This time, I prayed to kick away the lazy bug and get down to it immediately.
So, with my glasses on and feeling all nerdy, I spent the afternoon reading through, thinking very hard and "editing" the 50 pages she sent me! Got it done in about 2 hours, which amazed both Christina and myself because I'm usually a VERY slow and impatient reader who gives up midway. It've been awhile since I felt this good. Helping people really makes you happy.
During my short "work" breaks, I kept seeing Yvonne on FB chat and told myself that I'll talk to her if she's still around when I'm done... and so I did! I shared a little of my joy with her and unknowingly, it really encouraged her. God works in an amazing way huh! :D All these wouldn't have happened if I didn't "break" my fast (okay, technically I still didn't, but you get the idea) and come online.
Coupled with my evening jog, pardon me, but I feel fantastically radiant today! ♥
Truly & faithfully, thanks to God ♥ ♥ ♥
