expect the unexpected..

Expect the unexpected…this is the basic rule of life for all of us…

But once in a while I forgot that basic rule. So I’d paid dearly for my silly mistake..
I had no plan B, so I panicked and lost direction; I didn’t know what to do and suffered huge damages and embarrassment... Luckily God created another opportunity for me which I did not expect at all.

Last week, I thought I had enough money to pay for all my outstanding bills but suddenly several of my clients requested extra time to pay me. They all had cash flow problems. They could not make the agreed payments on time. So I found myself in high and dry situation. I became numb and frozen with time. What to do now?

Then, out of the blue, I received a phone call and got a new case and my new client immediately paid me advance monies for the job. Thank God! at least I could cover my expenses and overhead in time.

I realize that God never abandon me but I'm the one who always forgot to be grateful to Him. I believe that miracle does happen. I believe that God will continue to test my faith, no matter what.

I expected my wife to deliver last weekend but it did not happen. I expected no cash flow problem but it did not happen. I expected to see my sisters but it did not happen also. I had plan but God had another plan. And God's plan shall prevail in the end.

One my learned friends used to advise me that “If you fail to plan then you plan to fail”. It is so true. Hopefully after this, I always have a plan B in everything.

Have a nice day folks.
