16 March 2005

Two weeks ago in cell group we kinnd of decided to have a cell group social on Friday 18th March. That would have been fine since I am rota'd off duty on Sat so I could hang out late and sleep in on Sat.

However, Ling organised a surprised 23rd birthday/ farewell for Shawn on Fri night in Chukoku. A few people are going to that so cannot go for social and it got changed to Sat (19th). I am rota'd for 07:30am start on the Sunday so would mean I had to leave early on sat or go to work knackered on Sunday morning. Kinda worried.

Aaron called and asked me to bring some sort of salad dish to the social as Lily and Joyce were bringing drinks. I thought 'aiya!' I can't cook and don't really know what to buy. However, Aaron called again and said change of plans, I could bring drinks since the girls would find it too heavy to carry. So that's excellent! Praise God! Even mum said that God 'sek' me. =)

That's one thing sorted, however, what about the shift leh? My plans to try and email my colleagues, offering those who were working on Sat a day off and asking them to work my Sun. Prayed about it a few times.

Got to work and asked Paul for the staff list for Sat and Sun so I could see who's on in which days and emailed them. I discovered there were more people in on Sunday compared to Saturday and Pat McNicol is away to Canada for a couple of weeks.

Therefore, God gave me the wisdom to speak to Paul and offer to take Pat's place since they would be short in numbers. Paul liked the idea and agreed. Very happy indeed! Prayed to give thanks to God.

Spoke to and confirmed with Karen and Frank. Now it means I finish work 3:30pm on sat, come home, pick up drinks, hang in cell group till late amd can go home sleep in on Sunday AND go to youth group! Hallelujah! =)
