I agree that it’s about time I updated my blog.
I have experienced the power of laying of hands. First hand! And it was on the car! No one knew what was wrong (except God) cos nothing seemed to be wrong. Our kind neighbour even tried to jump start the car but nothing worked. I was due to send my application for AA the next day (which I diligently did after what happened :S). And His miracle the following morning. I went out to the car just before leaving for work and laid hands on the car. And the car started as I turned the ignition! AMEN!
I’m working as many of you would know. And working life has just been so different from studying life (obviously! ;P). Have always enjoyed school and so i guess that makes me miss it even more. It has been very challenging and busy. This week, we're working on a 4 people dispensary but many thanks to J who's helping us take scripts in. I find it very cute how he, in the long white sleeve formal shirt and pants, brought the choices of nail polish removers from one of the customers. Everyone's pooling in resources and chipping in to cover each other. I have been allowed to do more things in the dispensary and this i can only attribute to His grace and favour. Favour He has granted me in her eyes. I can only kneel down and say "Thank you God".
I am so used to picking up the phone and greeting "Good morning/afternoon, Unichem Knox Pharmacy. Angela speaking" that sometimes i forget whether it was me who made the phone call or answering the call. I was calling Bond Center and the first thing i said when they picked up was "Good morning (and my mouth forming the "U" for Unichem).. and stopping myself to say "I'd like to ask about...". That would have been very embarrassing i think.
And my "How can i help you?" followed by the how-can-i-help-you look, anticipating the "Yes, i've got a problem..." or "I'm here to pick up a prescription...". A young man came in later in the evening and after the formalities (I was at the front computer scanning through a script that S was typing through) and said "Can i use your toilet?". Nothing wrong with asking (i know i've done that a couple of times) but it caught me a bit off guard but picking up where i'd left my train of words, i pointed to the public loo just outside Pharmacy School. When he'd left, i smiled to myself at how unexpected the question was and S nugdged me. I looked up smiling and said "What? I wasn't expecting it!" She was smiling herself.
Prayer works wonders because it's the BIG GUY we're talking to. Remember Him? The one that holds all the dust on the earth with His hand.
It was beach weather yesterday, too hard to resist so we headed to St Kilda. We didn't realise that the wind was that cold until we were out on the beach. All in shorts and i-dont-need-a-jacket mode, the only way to keep warm without our extra insulation was to run around. We played PepsiCola and tag, two games i havent played in ages! The last time must have been in 2004, when we went to Brighton Beach with Jamie and Susan... The "Bad" guys won: Eunice and Martin. Good strategy Mart! We were so poofed by the end of that short game, where is my stamina?!?
