Mondate with God

During my prayer time this morning, God told me to go with my mom to Antipolo Cathedral. I heard him say, "Kristine, Let's have a date!" :p

On our way to church, she was telling me how to drive. I can’t understand what she’s saying but I smiled to the thought that she’s making an effort for me to learn the basics about driving.

When we arrived, I went to the adoration, took out my bible and read the book of Jeremiah. (I don’t know why but something’s telling me to read it)

All I know is that God has his reason why he wanted me to be there and why Jeremiah.

STORY

One of my grade school friends added me in facebook last week. It’s been 5 years since we last talked to each other. We decided to go out and catch up. He reminisced about our grade school days. I can’t even remember some of it. He reminded me the things that I have intentionally forgot about which made me feel the pain I had before but I know better & God knows best.

Anyway, my friend opened up about his problems.

He just got his heart broken by a girl whom he loves for 4 years now. He told me that he can’t take it anymore, that he doesn’t deserve what’s happening in his life; how he wants to be alone because he thinks he’s a burden.

He listens to my advices but when he’s alone, he would tell me that every one is different and that he knows what’s best for him.

I’ve always wanted to help others & to be honest, I felt bad that he doesn’t want me to help him but I always keep in mind what God wants me to do and BREEEEAATH! :p

Like my Mom, God teaches us not necessarily to be the driver of our lives but to show us our way, the right path, the right solution. Most of the time, we can’t understand what he's trying to say. It takes time for us to decipher it. But God asks us to walk by faith and not by sight.(I love this verse!)

My date with God was a blast! I even forgot that I was not able to eat lunch yet. I didn't feel how hungry I was until after our date. 

I was filled with joy. I can't thank him enough for this day. It's like he surprised me with a box of airheads but told me to eat one per day. :D 

Thaank yoou father!

“Blessed is the man who trust in the Lord, whose hope is the Lord. He is like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out its roots to the stream; it fears not the heat when it comes, its leaves stay green; In the year of drought it shows no distress, but still bears fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8
