Thankful Thursday

Thursday, May 1, 2008
Okay, I got my new phone the other day but I found out that it was defective. So I had to call the cell phone company that issued me the phone to replace it. They agreed only later they called back to inform me that they didn't have an available unit of the same model and asked if I wanted a different brand. I said no, not unless they'd replace it with an iPhone. Yeah, I know, I was being a bit difficult, but I was nice really. They promised to do eveything they can to find me a replacement for my N95 and would get back to me as soon as possible. I guess that's settled. Anyway, tomorrow would be a whole new day for me because I'd be in a new office, my own office space, my own room actually. There still has a lot of work to do but it's alright.

Oh, did I tell you that I have four plants at my balcony? One pot is a horsetail bamboo and the three others are from the family of carnation. I don't know what they're called. I'll take a picture of them later on. I wanted a pup or a kitty but no one's going to take care of them while I'm at work. So I took up a new hobby and that is growing greens... for now.


This week I thank God:


  • For allowing me to know the answers to questions I've been having in my mind regarding some people from my work place. I've been feeling odd for quite some time now and couldn't shrug off some issues that were bothering me. It was my last day at work in that office yesterday and I was surprised when one of these people showed up at my condo and confided in me. Of course I was glad to be of help. I'm also glad that those issues I had have already been resolved and are now a thing of the past.
  • For Cherry, my broker, who helped me relay my request to the unit owner to renew our contract every six months instead of yearly. My request was granted. Thank you, Lord.
For more Thankful Thursday, visit Iris over at Sting My Heart. Have a happy weekend ahead y'all. God bless! =D

Hi Pia, I really enjoy your TT, I look forward to it every week. I'm glad things are working out for you. Too bad about the phone though; and I really don't think you were being difficult (well, maybe a bit). Have a lovely day or evening I guess (it's 10:45 am in Nigeria}.

I hope they find a new phone for you (or else replace it with an iphone! :) ). And I'm glad that things got resolved at your job before you left too...I really don't like having unresolved questions/issues either...

I had to laugh when you said "unless it's an iPhone.." I hope things will work smoothly for you as you move in a new office.

Thanks for sharing your grateful heart.

andrea: they got to or else... *sob* haha! it's hard to work when there are issues in the office. well, it was petty but at that time it felt like the whole world was crushing down on you. thank God they were resolved.

mama meji: this cell phone company hasn't signed an agreement/tie up with apple yet for the iPhone. so i was like saying it's N95 and nothing else... or just in case they already have an iPhone that i wasn't aware of yet, it's an N95 or an iPhone... nothing else. haha!

laurie: thanks for dropping by. God bless you, laurie.

dawn: you're sweet as ever. thanks for the visit. blessings...

amrita: oh sorry to hear that. hope my bamboo would last a little longer.

lynn: hey girl. miss ya!

Hi Pia,
"All things work together for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28) We must trust God that everything that happens in our lives is by His purpose and He wills only what is good for us. Just dropping by to say hello to you my dear friend. God bless.
