| Outside the dim sum place all waiting to get in. |
So yesterday, I needed to go to the bank cos my ATM card was blocked (pls don't ask why!) and I needed to apply for a new one. The moment I entered the bank a sea of ppl greeted me , all are back with a vengeance after the Cny holidays.
Quickly I caught hold of the bank executive whizzing past me to get some advise and explained my predicament. He punched out a ticket number (3053) and dutifully told me to wait my turn. I looked at the screen of numbers on public display and noted my ticket was at least 30 numbers ahead.
Hmn, do I hv enough time to go for a dim sum brunch? U bet.
(i had already sent Linda ahead to get a table)
So off I went to join another crowd of waiting ppl all hungry and wanting to eat dim sum as well.
Another ticket, another waiting line (this is cny after all) . But finally after 20 mins, we walked in to a table.
After fully satisfying the inner man, i walked back into the bank at 1pm (1.5hrs later, ) and saw i was still another 10 numbers ahead.
I decided not to wait, instead headed on home as I had to leave for an appointment at 2.00pm ( to get to Kota Kemuning at 2.30)
But at 1.40pm with the bank ticket in hand I decided once more
to 'try my luck' at the bank. I knew it was a looong shot as I didn't have time to wait at the bank (even if it was 2 numbers before) , and definitely a no-go if my number got passed.
But being a person who likes to challenge the odds, I just took my chance.
I reached the bank at 1.50pm. As usual, the area around the bank was filled with cars and I didn't bother to find a proper parking.. instead told Linda to just pop into the bank to see the latest '4 digit' on the screen. I found a lil bit of space in betwn the parking boxes and waited to observe Linda. Almost immediately she rushed out and signaled to come out of the car (which was parked illegally btw! )

Stunned.
Immediately just as I entered the bank, and the automated voice called out TIGA KOSONG LIMA. TIGA

Omg omg .. WooHooo!!!! Omg PTL!
I got my card replaced and was out of the bank in 10mins and on my way at 2pm.
Do you believe in miracles? . Just a few days ago, I was hearing a message about how God is actively 'working' in our midst, but many times we are oblivious and we tend to dismiss it as 'coincidence'..
but no.. He is in the 'small things' as well as the big.
We just need to be cognizant and expectant that God's extravagant grace is CONSTANTLY coming at us.. all the time.
I feel so blessed even as I pen this 'mini coincidence' that fell miraculously in my favor. Some will brush it off as a chance of good luck, but to me this is more than luck , it's God way of arranging things to remind me as a child of God, Papa is always looking out for me.
This kind of 'happenstance' , money oso kenot buy.. Haha.
His supply of Grace and favor is always, .. always coming at us.
Just be a ready recipient!
Remember that andrew!
