Protected by His favor...

Thank God, Praise God in all circumstances!

Though I only managed to catch the last 15 min of last saturday's sermon.

I was still in my head office at 5:30pm!

Just today, one of my colleague, a christian, and the only christian on my worksite. He told me some things that was going on but that I did not know.

I drove to my site office on saturday. Promised my brother that I would return the car by 1pm. Then a urgent call came in from the head office. I was stuck in office till nearly 3pm. There and then, I prayed that I would be able to return home by 3:30pm.

That's exactly what I told my supervisor," Can I go back early?"
He said,"Okay".

I thought it must have been my prayer answered!

But the story did not end there.

The truth is I did not quite finish the task I was asked to do on that day.
And i actually have the guts to ask to leave early. Though i did explained to him that i had to return the family car.

My christian colleague told me that I must be out of my head to ask for 'early departure' on saturday! And left my work undone. In hushed tones, he then related his own past experiences to me... He and another colleague have been reprimanded severely in the past for mistakes at work. He advised me to watch what I do and say. And I thank the Lord for sending him to tell me dese.

For the record, I always work conscentiously so that I will be a good testimony to all. I may not be the smartest or most efficient worker. But in everything, I do my best. I do make mistakes. But on that saturday, the Lord must have granted me favor in the eyes of my supervisor. He did not railed me at my request to leave early. What could I say? Its must have been His protection!

I reached home at 3:30pm. Parked at home, took MRT to my head office to do my time sheet. They got new electronic time sheet, that's extremely annoying bec the system is ultra-un-user-friendly. Grrrrrr... that's why I was so late for service & only heard 15 mins of the sermon. But still got the essence of it all.

"Praise God!"
