I almost did not make it. The phone lines were busy and once I got in it just kept on ringing. Then I finally decided to go down and leave my apartment and hail a cab on the street but the sun was shining brightly in this very fine day that I just couldn't afford squinting so much in fear that I will damage my eyes. I dialled again. It just kept on ringing for a good five minutes or so until a robotic-sounding voice answered. I thought the guy on the other line was playing a joke on me because seriously I really thought I was talking to RoBoCop. It was beyond comprehension. I just relied on the familiarity of my name and my building number as he kept on murming and trust the heavens that a taxi will indeed come to fetch me. Oh well and so it did in less than five minutes when the driver called and said he's reached the traffic signal and he will be at my building in no time. And surely as soon as he hunged up a taxicab stopped and I immediately ran with my 3inch-heels while holding for dear life. God really works behind the scenes and His ways are always the best.
I haven't visited my church since November. My roster always fall over the weekends. And I can definitely feel like a candle light slowly fading away. I feel this great lump in my throat growing for not making the impossible possible to spend quality time with my churchmates worshipping. I still believe that spending my "alone time" with God in my own place anywhere else in the world is not enough. I feel a greater and deeper connection wih HIM when I'm communing with the rest of believers. I don't know about others and I am in no position to question anybody about their faith. For me religion is a very delicate subject to talk about. All of us are entitled to choose whatever works for us. I am no fanatic of religion. But I am confident enough to say that I always long to have a meaningful relationship with Jesus. That what works for me always ever since. I grew up in a very religious family but nobody imposed me to believe what they believe in. We were given the freedom to choose. I think my parents were just really great role models in instilling what faith in God is all about. Until now, I still feel my heart swell whenever I see my Dad every single day in the wee hours of the morning praying. We really feel fortunate to have been blessed with parents who love God. I also pray that God will give me a godly-man to spend the rest of my life with. I think no amount of money or achievements can protect us from the ups and downs of life but it's having a solid rock to hold on to when the going gets tough that matters.
Today I've been refined like silver. I feel like my battery has been charged full. And I am all set for battle. Hearing the gospel and listening to our Pastor preaching about Jesus made me realize that I have so much things to work on. Giving my 100% to HIM no more holding back. And having a generous spirit, to have hands always willing to give. I can't see why others need to take drugs to feel high. This Godly-high is definitely so much better than any other illegal narcotics available.
If only I can encourage more people to seek HIM. For life is indeed much sweeter and lighter this way. Having Him taking charge of everything.
Y.O.L.O. (you only live once) Correct. We only live once. But if we live it right, ONCE is enough.
I pray sincerely that each of us will find HIM.
Have a blessed weekend everyone!
