Last Saturday after church, I decided to walk from Festival to Alabang Town Center. I usually go there cos there's a bus that goes straight to BF Resort and it's normally traffic from Toyota Alabang up to Moonwalk kaya mas masarap mag bus kce kahit traffic at least hindi mainit. I walked not because I was broke (hahaha! defensive), I walked kce gusto ko lang mag muni-muni.
While walking, I was texting a very good close friend of mine na si Shade (hindi po nya tunay na pangalan wala lang gusto ko lng Shade para unique). He told me na he's been in the hospital for 5 days and got admitted because of a serious back problem.
He was asking me to pray for him cos of the series of tests that he'll be undergoing this week. I felt na timely yng message na narinig ko sa church so I texted him:
Hi Shade! Just got off church. I wana share something lang that hit me... Life most of the time does not make sense. And when it doesn't, we try to find answers by ourselves. And when we do try to find answers, we are left with more questions. I learned today in church na we really cannot and will never find it by ourselves. We need to let God do the revealing for us. Because in the process of our waiting He is teaching us something. As we wait for Him to reveal the answer to us, we need to live a life of faith. And by living a life of faith, we need to read the bible, understand, be obedient to Him and live His word. Let go of your worries Shade an let God. He is greater than anything. :D
He replied...

Amen. This battle is not mine but God's. I just need to hold on to Him all the way. Trust in His word. I'm giving my 100% trust.
I was surprised when he sent me this reply. Cos I wasn't expecting something like this from him. While reading his text message (and while walking astig noh multi tasking ahahaha!) it brought me to tears. Aside from the fact na naoverwhelm ako sa text nya, God made me realize something. Sabi Niya... anak wag kang masyadong matanong at atat (these past three weeks kce hasn't been ok. but things are better now) basta be in faith and trust in Me.
Ang amazing lng kce yng sagot ni God sa mga tanong naten always comes in a way na hindi mo ineexpect. I guess its His way of making the answers na we are asking for fool proof. Yun bang sure tayo na sa Kanya talaga galing yng sagot at hindi lang nilikha ng isip naten. :D
Para sa mga makakabasa ng blog na 'to kindly include Shade in your prayers. Totoo kce ang kasabihang the more the many-er. Nasusulat yan sa Matthew 18:19, If two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there Am I with them. Please pray for strength for Shade and his family, for healing and for God to reveal to Him why he is going through this.
He will greatly appreciate your prayers.
