note to self #220908

it was lunch break today when my colleague and i were discussing on some Bible passages. i praise and thank God for her interest. we sat at the long bench in front of the north sydney's chamber of commerce. an hour passed by quickly. and we walked back to the office.

an email was sent. the time-stamp was 12:38 pm. somebody left their their mobile in the ladies room. as soon as i sat down, reading this email, i realised that i couldn't find mine, nor my wallet. so, i enquired by replying whether the color of the mobile is a pink one. seconds later, i hadn't the patience to wait, so i came to the person sending the email and quickly got the answer that it was someone's else, and it had been claimed, and no, it wasn't pink.

half running, i rushed back to the bench where we sat five minutes ago. very close, at the traffic light, waiting for the pedestrian's light to turn green, i saw a guy making a phone call in front of the chamber of commerce. the light turned green, i walked on, the guy entered the building. i can't see my mobile and wallet on top of the bench.

so, i walked in, hoping to ask around if somebody had dropped them in. no mere coincidence, the guy was about to hand in what he just found to the lady over the reception. so, i told them that those belong to me. the guy told that he just gave a call to a friend of mine using the mobile, to inform that i had lost my mobile.

i check the time-stamp of his call. it was 12:38 pm (there was a slight minutes of difference between my desktop and mobile), and he was infact calling andreas (bro-in-law). no, nothing was so obvious in the call logs that would make him call andreas anyway. i must say, things are a bit odd, though in a positive way. i restrained from saying that it's a bit spooky, perhaps i should say instead that it's rather holy-spirity (though i don't know what i'm talking about). :)

all i'm trying to say is that nothing happens outside God's control. if it turns out that i've heard of some testimonies of how God led people to trust Him, i think i have only a little room to be left completely untouched by those stories.
