Wow.. had a tough time trying to get tickets for honeymoon.
Firstly, it was hard trying to convince my boss that I got to be out of office in September. It doesn't help that it clashes with my colleague's maternity leave. I still managed to get my leave in the end...so thank God.
But it was not really a smooth process trying to get tickets...we wanted to leave Singapore on 31 August...and then return to Singapore on 15 September. If we do that, Tim, Ann and Ian would be around for the full trip... and we will have 12 days to travel around (11 days leave from work). That would be ideal but life is not always perfect (as we should know by now)...
I was rather upset when we could get the tickets and we found out that we might end up paying more for the same dates..but thank God.. an opening came...9 September flight.. return to Singapore on 23 September.. still 11 days leave but 11 days to travel around...Tim, Ann and Ian will only be around for 4 - 5 days. BUT THE TICKETS ARE STILL THE CHEAPEST! hahaha.. NOt as perfect, but we decided to book them anyway!
What lessons have I learnt in this process:
1. God may not always give us what is PERFECT but He will provide what is best in the circumstances
2. Be patient and surrender all plans to God
3. Life is full of imperfections, got to be flexible
I have been learning to accept imperfections at work etc...imperfections everywhere in fact..it's tough cos I am such a PERFECTIONIST! I jump at imperfections, negative emotions such as frustration, impatience etc overwhelm me so easily. Why... because I have not learnt to accept that life will be never be as perfect as I want it to be ... Man are sinners.. where there is sin, there will never be perfection.
Handling a case now, it's messy cos imperfect people created the mess. Long story.. but well..thank God for giving me the strength to move forward.
Have you learnt to deal with imperfections?
