my mum and i caught a taxi after grocery shopping...and the driver was sooooooooooooo nice... he helped us with our bags and was really polite and friendly...he even opened the passenger door for me! he was so nice i wanted to tip him!

later on my friend on msn asked me where my mobile was...(i had left my bag in the living room so if my phone rang i wouldnt have heard it)...coz a guy had picked it up when he called it just then...and i was thinking...dad's not home?...and neil wouldve told me if my phone rang...so i checked my bag...and it wasnt there...

so i called my phone...(something i dont do very often)...so when the person picked up i had no idea what to say...like do i start convo? as in ask how the person is? but i felt so weird and awkward...so i just said "hi...this is my phone...which ive lost...uhhhmm...what do i do?"...i was half scared hed start doing something stupid or hang up on me or say something like "muahahaha i have your phone your never gonna get it back!"...but instead hes like "yep im actually the cab driver...did u want me to drop it off?"

HOW GOOD IS GOD? how NICE is the taxi driver?! the next thing i knew he was at my door, giving me back my phone...i wanted to tip him or like...i dunno...give him something for being like THE BEST taxi driver ever...but all i ended up doing was saying thankyou...=\ i guess part of me wasnt frantic enough...i had no idea it was gone! O_O

this is the 2nd time ive left my phone on public transport...the first time was on the bus...i usually check my bag after i get off the bus or outta the car or whatever...and i couldnt find it anywhere...i was about to leave it and just call the sydney buses company or something...but my mum said the buses turn around and come back the opposite way...so we could wait for it and see if it's on the bus...and sure enough...i found the bus that i was on, got on and was about to explain to the bus driver...when i saw this guy pick up my phone and look at it...so i ran in and asked him for it...and said thankyou...like...a hundred times...to the guy and the bus driver...and God!

i think ive exhausted all my "good luck" (i.e. Gods grace/blessings) with this phone...it's already been two strikes...i need to be more careful!...God seriously has been gracious...i mean what are the chances?? seriously shows you his soverignty! none of that coincidence crap...

i dunno what id do if i actually lost it...i hate the idea of getting a new number...getting a new phone is the only good thing about losing your mobile...but everything else sux...and itd be harder to trust in the fact that God is doing everything for the good of you who loves Him...coz it's just a major inconvenience...and youd totally forget hes soverign...and start doubting the fact that hes always been gracious and good...

haha...im gonna have to look back on this post when things go haywire.
