26th March 2007,
1.30pm Monday. It's lunch time and I was really hungry, not able to skip today's lunch even though I've taken breakfast earlier this morning. Today was alright, was working on Training Program for CDR. Another 2 to train up. Almost done, good job Shirley! Giving a little pat on my shoulder :PP Our new setup gonna be completed soon.
Yup, lost and found. Have you ever experience your treasured possesion being lost and couldn't able to find back? Let's imagine how it feels: a dear friend gave you a present, and you didn't use it, then out of sudden, you use it, and then gosh..it's gone, you've LOST it! How will you feel? Something dearest to you, and out your carelessness, it's GONE, it's gone! How does that work? Urrrgghhhh..!! Just careless, you must be cursing yourself: How could that happened? Where is it? How come it's just gone, a twinkling of an eye, it's gone. Sob sob sob!
That's what happened to me yesterday. I had a gift from a close fren- a pearl braclet, and it's the first day I am wearing it. Yup, that Sunday, I thot of wearing the pearls braclet, with pearl ear rings, thot that's nice, suit my blouse, and feels nice, I looked gorgeous. It's okay to dress nice to church, I am not wrong yeah?!! Woke up early, dressed up, and still have time before church starts. So I drove to Car Wash Shop beside Macro, and put my car there, and walk happily to church. Half way through, met Becky and Edmund, my Phillipino's frens and they asked me to join them for breakfast. I agreed, and join for chat but not eating coz I've taken my breakfast at home. Half way talking, I realised my braclet is gone! Oh Lord! How can this happen? What that I've done wrong to deserve that? I was so sad, and off I go, trying to reverse back to see if the braclet drop anywhere. Trying to figure out, where it possibly go, making my way to Macron, looking down at the road side, it's like taking a magnifying torch..trying to scan for the precious pearl.
I couldn't able to control my feeling, and a tears just gushed out my swollen eyes. Again, Shirley crying like a baby. It's like my heart broken into pieces, all shattered...I prayed, Oh God, please help me to find the pearls. And I search and search and search..few rounds. Like a little baby crying and walking around searching for mummy. I couldn't believe my eyes when I finally went back to the Car Wash place, and here lies my braclet. My whole face lifted up, and I just smile with such unspeakable joy.
It's just so unpredictable. I've learned that the more I wanna keep something, with earthly posession, if God don't will it, I will loose it. Nothing is permanent in this world- earthly posession, our wants, our need? In a twinkling of the eyes, you will loose it.
Jim Elliot's quote is very relevant. "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."
