The way God works is.. as I try to observe.. very peculiar.
He seems to dislike our habit of counting the eggs.
Being human, I would now and then assess how many potential clients I have,
how many of them would close the deal, etc etc.
I notice that many times.. when I put high hope in some of the cases,
it just doesn't work out in one unfortunate way or another.
And many times.. when I just unassumingly do my part, and let God decides the outcome,
things work out- in one amazing way or another.
I asked for 2nd promotion before 2009 ends..
when i entered Dec 2009, I had few cases with high chance of closing in my hands.
Counting my eggs, I thought I could not only get the 2nd promotion, but also hit my sales target by the end of the month. I was very excited.
Unsurprisingly.. I got it wrong.
The cases just didn't work out.
And there I was, 29 Dec 2009.. totally accepting the fact that
I will neither get the promotion nor hit the target.
I got one more case in hand.. and yet.. I knew I wanted to be home with my family.
I have chased the deals for the whole Dec.. giving up on my China holiday and my plan to return to Jakarta.
But on 29 Dec 2009.. I decided to rest.
So me and Ika bought our tic that night. And the day after, we flew back to Jakarta.
And on the night of December 30th, God amazingly closed that one last case I was working on. Without me there.
Yes.. thanks to my very loyal client and friend too.
And yet.. more than that.. God showed me what He meant when He asked me to just be still.. and let Him act.
That last case.. though wasn't enough to hit my target,
was just enough.. to earn me my 2nd promotion. Right before 2009 ends.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us..
-Eph 3:20
to Him be the glory and honor forever and ever.
He always.. always.. go the extra thousands miles..
when it comes to you and me.
