I don't think I am able to go Sydney...

I will be leaving for Australia in 2 weeks time to assist in Date With Destiny in Gold Coast. It will be a 9-day trip, but I am not as excited about it as compared to last year. I guess it's partly becos my plan is not going to happen.

I actually planned to hop by Sydney to visit the place and also a couple of friends there, whom I met at last year's DWD. It's much cheaper to do so than to get a ticket to fly from Singapore to Sydney. It costs about S$1200 to do that, but if I were to take a domestic flight from Gold Coast to Sydney, it takes only about an hour, and A$100 (S$120). That's 10 times cheaper!!

Now you must be thinking, what's stopping me? Well, it's my boss. Apparently she is not very happy about it. I don't know why. She keeps saying it's the peak period of our events, and no one should be taking leave. If I want, I should come up with a plan of what I will be doing. It's totally ridiculous.

That's the problem of working for people. You don't get to choose sometimes. Then again, I wonder if it is part of His plan. I did most of the things I could - I asked her twice to reconsider, that I am only taking 2 days leave, and I really want to go Sydney. I prayed to Him to give me wisdom, everyday I asked Him if it is His will, not to let me go. Maybe He doesn't want me to go? Maybe that's why He is keeping this door shut? If it's His will, nothing and no one can stop it.

I must pray more, and ask for His wisdom.
