This has been a day of God’s Grace and Mercy! George Muller was right! No matter what happens, it is essential, imperative that one takes care of one’s soul first and foremost at the start of the day! It puts us in the right place and at the right time.
I woke up late this morning, giving myself barely an hour to shower, breakfast at the fabulous Marriott Breakfast buffet spread, and have my QT with Daddy God. After my shower, I realized that I had only half an hour; it was already 8:15am and my first appointment was some distance away (I learned about 20 minutes away given time to get a little lost and landing up in the wrong office building, only to wind up at the right one after consultation with my client).
It was a toss up between having my breakfast or my QT. I chose QT and let me tell you; it’s true! QT a day, keeps the devil away! And all things work in tandem with His Perfect Will and Perfect timing.
I got my cabbie to drive me to my customer’s location, and it was a simple enough meeting. My customer was very friendly and I ended the meeting in barely an hour. My cabbie was good enough to circle back to collect me again, and I thought I had no further appointments for the day. Thus I headed back to Marriott, making a quick supermarket stop to pick up some water and some potato chips for the afternoon. I also had time to grab a Colonel Burger which was really a tiny little piece of bun with an equally small chicken patty.
But I was certainly thankful, having not even had a cup of milo or anything the whole morning.
Back in the hotel room, I promptly sat down to take care of my email and trip report. I even managed to have some time on msn.
By 2pm, I was still on my email, and at 2:07pm, I received an email from a Consultant who was looking for assistance. This wasn’t any Consultant, but a major Engineering company and consulting for Shell Sarawak. I had been trying establish a connection with Shell Sarawak but could not find any leads. The Consultant was writing to me from Miri and explained that they needed to have someone contact them. It was indeed very fortuitous that I was indeed in Miri at that time. Of course it was a little bit of a task to change back into my working attire, having already peeled them off and got really comfy in my shorts and tees, but this was an opportunity which can only be described in the words of the wise – Divine Appointment.
I made the appointment and it was a good meeting. It looks like Miri shall be a regular stop for me hereon.
Ok, the cab to that appointment reminded me of how cars in Singapore used to be in the 70s. The back seat was protected by a nostalgic patchwork “cushion”. I haven’t seen that in a long while!
Oh yes, and all the other pictures of the food are what I had for dinner at the Marriott Miri. That’s my concluding excitement for the day.
