I had a really, really good day today. Nothing spectacular happened but it was the kind of quiet peaceful goodness reigning within your heart that you know it is coming from the Lord God.
The day started out with a frantic desperate search for a cab but to no avail. I had a 10am church meeting that I did not want to be late for and the time was already 9.50am! Taking a bus would mean having to take two buses and about 20mins to get to church. Hence seeing that I didn't have much choice, I boarded the feeder bus that approached.
However to my dismay, due to a massive traffic jam leading to the Woodlands Checkpoint, the bus had to stop at the T-junction and all passengers had to alight to walk to wherever as the bus was going to make a detour. I waited at the nearest bus stop and prayed and asked the Lord to please send a bus (or a cab!!) so that I could make it on time but all buses just zoomed past the bus stop as they were filled packed with people from the earlier bus stops, who were affected by the jam.
In my despair and desperation, I prayed and ask the Lord to please help me, and quickly as I really didn't want to be late!! I gave up hope on getting a cab as there were already two people ahead of me trying to flag down cabs, all of which had their red 'HIRED' sign on. So you can imagine my surprise when a red 'HIRED' cab drove by and stopped by the two people ahead of me to ask where they were going. The cabby turned down the first person and as I watched my eyes moved to the 2nd person. The cabby asked the 2nd person his location and apparently, it wasn't where he was headed to and so he turned down the second person!!
And then, here comes the cab as I started flagging it down like a 'siao char bor' (aiyah desperate lah). The cabby stopped and asked where, and I told him and PRAISE GOD ALLELUIA AMEN!!!!! He said OK!!!! (hehe ok that's just me typing in caps to express how freaking excited and exhilarated I was!!).
The Lord NEVER fails!! Ask and you shall receive. Pray from your heart, not from your head! I may have been 10mins late but given the dire situation I was in, it could have been a lot worse!!
The meeting was a fruitful and blessed one and we were able to accomplish some work, had a wonderful lunch with church friends at Causeway Point and then I headed to Novena Church thereafter. After that, I made my way to Holy Spirit Church of Sunset Mass and it was a pleasant surprise that my Mr. could join me. It was the Feast of Corpus Christi and I am ever grateful for the Lord 's love for me. After Mass, we were both ready for dinner and decided to bus down to Yishun for some ARNOLD'S FRIED CHICKEN!! OMG, IT WAS SOOOOOO FABULOUSLY GOOD!
On a serious note, today could have gone the other way having started the day with the 'bad jam-no cab' situation, and any spillover negative emotions from the past days. However, a simple prayer led to a day filled with so much peace and joy.
For all that I am, all that I have, all that I know, I am truly grateful, thankful and blessed.
