Feb 22, God's sign

I was in a hurry. After a half-day in the office 8:30-12:00 work, I have a Freelancer Career Kick-Off to attend at 1pm. My officemate advised me to just take a Van routing FTI-SM Makati. Thanks to her idea. I don't have to experience the hassle of riding an overcrowded bus as well as climbing the stairs in the overpass. I always avoid such scenario because I will for sure have breathing difficulty or will be getting tired easily. My husband actually never let me go alone when traveling because of my rheumatic heart. He decided to accompany me in the event it so happened that my two nieces have their scheduled classes so no one to take care of our two daughters. I have no choice then but to go by myself.

Immediately after office, I went to the terminal to catch a van going to Makati. I was a little hesitant because there's only one passenger. We need to wait for another 10 passengers so the van can leave. Checking my wristwatch every now and then, I can tell, I'll be late in the event because no other passengers willing to wait and they were riding the bus instead. What to do then; to wait for more 10 passengers which will take another 30minutes perhaps, or to ride in the bus?  Confused, I talk to Jesus. “Lord, if there's even a single passenger to ride in this van at this moment, I'll take this ride and not the bus.” As soon as I've finished praying, there's a lady approaching the van. She talked to the driver.

Lady: “How many more passengers to wait so we can leave?”

Driver: “We need to wait even for 8 passengers.”

Lady: “Ok, I'll pay for 8 passengers.”

Wow! I exclaimed. You're so good Lord. You answered so fast. Thank you!

God's blessing didn't end with that. In the event, I wasn't lucky enough to be drawn in the raffle for t-shirt or with the Ipad Mini. I really like the shirt. A participant next to me was lucky. He has the shirt and he was kind. He gave me the shirt. It's another blessing sitting beside a very considerate man. He even accompanied me in the way to terminal since I wasn't so familiar with the place. I just realized that he was actually supposed to stay to meet a certain group of attendees after the event. He just didn't say no to me. I was a little bit shy upon knowing that. But, I just prayed for him. May he be blessed, too; because that day, he's a blessing to me.
