The church announced that there will be a mid week service this week and it was to be on a Wednesday! When I heard that annoucement, I felt my heart sank alittle. I found myself asking, "Why Wednesday?!" I felt selfish at that time since Wednesdays are usually my late working nights since providing my services at SSMC for weight management programmes.
Anyway, I prayed and asked God to provide a way for me. However, early on Tuesday morning, I received a text from SSMC, informing me of the number of patients for my Wednesday clinic and the timing of my first and last patient. My heart sank even more when I realised that my last patient will end at 8pm. I was disappointed! Even my facebook status said it ALL, "Joanna is disppointed that she cannot attend tomorrow's mid-week service. :'(". Anyway, my comment generated some responses and Jenny told me that God has a plan for me and if I cannot attend, it is because God is blessing me to be a blessing to someone.
So, I went about seeing my patient on the list and lo and behold, when I was walking out to call my next patient, which I don't usually do that because the receptionist or the PTAs will send them in, I spotted someone familiar. I took a second glance (or even more), like you would do for someone whom you think looks familiar and found out that it was my primary school form teacher!!! She was shocked and said that she was proud of me and what I am today(since I wasn't a very bright kid in primary school). Now, I find that both of us are in reverse roles, I as the "teacher" and she as the "student" when years ago (12 years to be exact), I was the student and she the teacher!
How amazing is that??!!! Indeed, God blesses beyond what we expect!
Ps: Thanks Jen for those encouraging words!
