Lost Wallet

Today i got psycho-ed to skip Probability Lecture.
Guess I've learnt the art of justification.
Everything seemed so logical, haha :)
Before long I was headed for Boon Lay.
We ended up at the fd court and decided on Pepper Lunch.
$5.90 Student Set with a drink included.
When it was my turn to order I realised to my horror that my wallet was not in my bag!!
Within seconds I knew what happened - I had left my wallet at the toilet in sch ><
A rush of panic flooded me and instinct told me to chiong back to sch.
I hurriedly said my goodbyes amidst shocked faces and left.
Walking towards the bus interchange my mathematical mind started to work furiously.
I calculated at least 5 different possibilities on the location and state of my wallet.
Somehow I 'cried' out to God, willing him to return me my wallet.
Obviously my wallet didnt drop from the sky.
As I boarded 179, I juz took out my ear piece and plugged it into my hp.
Played 'I See Grace', cos I thought tat's exactly wad I needed.
I needed grace to get back wad I prob dont deserve to get back.
Thankfully, after a few mins I began to calm down.
I thought thru the various items in my wallet.
Prob. the most impt would be my I/C and Matric Card.
Both are essential indications of my identity.
Then a random thought entered my mind.
And I thanked God that I didnt lose my identity in Him :)
I could never actually, but for tat split second it was a comforting revelation.
It was then tat the peace came.
Exactly like Jesus said.
'Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid' John 14:27 (NKJV)
I alighted and made my way to the 'lost' scene.
Somehow I knew the wallet wouldnt be there, and it wasnt.
But surprisingly it didnt matter that much anymore.
I was still believing that it would be found.
But even if it wasnt it didnt seem such a big deal anymore.
Now dont misunderstand.
That wallet had sentimental value.
And it contained Psalm 91 :)
But I suppose Jesus' peace transcends all worry :)
I msged Jade to ask if there was a lost and found in sch.
She referred me to Rui Xiong.
Who told me abt the Student Affairs Office (SAO).
What I did next may seem completely irrelevant.
By that time I was hungry, so I reviewed what little coins I had left.
It was enough to grant me lunch :)
Somehow I thought if someone found my wallet it would still take time for it to reach SAO.
Besides it was pouring out there, and I didnt want to deprive my stomach.
Old Chang Kee's curry chicken.
It was a satisfying meal :D
Then I went to the library to read.
Philip Yancey captivated me.
Grace IS divine.
And unique to Christianity.
Finished up a few chapters and headed down to SAO Level 6.
'Nope' I was told.
No reporting of a lost wallet.
I made a report anyway, thanked the lady and left.
Amazingly, at this juncture I was still believing that God will restore my wallet back to me.
Even as I got onto the shuttle bus which took me out to Pioneer.
***Fast Forward***
I reached home ard 6 plus and was soon in bed.
Had abit of time to catch some sleep b4 tuition.
Mum was gracious enough to let me drive to Joel's hse for tuition.
Minutes b4 reaching my phone rang.
Some odd number.
Then it striked me.
Had my wallet returned?
Couldnt pick up cos I was driving.
After I parked the same number appeared on the screen.
A sweet voice asked me if I was 'my name here'
My first thought was, 'How can a lady find my wallet in the Gents?'
What she said next made more sense.
She said something to this effect,'My grandma found your wallet; she works in that NTU toilet.'
When I heard tat the pure joy tat I felt simply could not be expressed in words.
Any attempt would be an understatement.
I was beyond euphoria!! :D
Jade was elated when I told her.
And I realised that the whole grp had been praying for my lost wallet during Devo :)
God is so good! :D
All the time! :D
I got back my wallet in a way that I could nv hav imagined up till the point in time when I realised I was indeed going to get it back :)
Thanks to all who 'worried' with me for a few hours.
Glad tat all's well that ends well :)
Gonna slp le.
Few more hours.
Wallet here I come!!! :)
