God has its own way of cheering me up.. and well.. it is way, way better than anybody else’s way of making me happy. Now, im feeling better.. yesterday was one of the saddest moments of my life and i dont want to remember it..
i thank God for my tutees..even with yesterday’s circumstances, my tutees’ conversations made me feel better.. and shax.. today’s adventures are very good– even if i got almost stranded in a place that is out of town.
i want to be a missionary someday.. and well.. i guess, what I am doing with the youth ministry right now is my very first step in achieving my dream. Every Saturday, I have decided to go beyond Davao City’s borderline .. to go to Tagum to facilitate the youth ministry of our local church there. In Tagum, I am serving around 15 young people and well, for me it is already a big and significant number. I have rescheduled our Saturday meetings– That instead of afternoon activities, we will do it in the morning.. this change is due to my piano tutorial lessons in Greenbox every 2pm til 4pm in Saturdays.. and this change would mean waking up earlier than usual to go for an early bus ride bound for Tagum so that I’ll arrive there on time for the Youth Activity.. The YA starts at 9am and ends at 11am..
Anyway, this morning was our first time to try the morning sched. I arrived there before 9am. I have to ride a tryc pa before I could get myself to Mankilam (church loc).. It was my first time to ride trycs that I am really unsure of where I am going.. and darn.. ang sikip2x.. oh well.. If I really want to be a missionary, I should learn to become content of what the place has to offer. I should learn to adjust. I am doing this not because of self interest and/or happiness, but I am doing this to glorify our Lord. .. =)
fast forward…>>
After the activity, I decided to head back home so that I will not be late for work @2pm.. I went to NCCC Mall Tagum first so that I could buy a Chuckie and a cellphone cord/accessory/(looks like an ID holder..gets mo na yun..)..anyway, when I checked my wallet.. All Ive got were receipts from past purchases, nothing more and nothing less.. When I checked my pocket.. all i have were four one-peso coins, three 25-centavo coins, and two ten-centavo coins.. Take note, the minimum fare for a tricycle ride is 7Php..and even if I go back to Mankilam and ask for the elder’s help, the change that I have wouldnt be enough, and if I will ask them to pay for my ride, it would cost them 20Php kasi "pakyaw" eh plus the bus ride is around 60 pesos pa.. so.. I got horrified. I am almost out of cellphone load and away from home. I almost freaked out.. but.. thank God, I managed to clear my mind up! So.. when I checked my wallet again.. I found out that I brought along with me my MTV Debit Card (swipe me baby..=>) hhmm.. I asked the security personnels of NCCC Tagum if they have a METROBANK or an EQUITABLE PCI BANK in Tagum.. and good thingy! there is! and well.. luckily, these two banks are only located to just one place.. near the Tagum Centro.. but wait.. it is about 2.5kms away from NC3 and remember.. it was 11.30am then.. I am under the heat of the sun..!! haha.. awesome! so.. I have no choice.. I walked my way to Equitable PCI.. withdrawn cash and went for a bus ride bound for Davao.
While I was on the bus, I kept on remembering on what happened to me.. and what God was thinking of me while I was there confused on what to do.. and well.. I thank Him for He made a genius and a very patient person out of me.. I dont feel so alone anymore.. not like yesterday.. God proved me that He is there for my comfort and rescue..
and I thank God for making me laugh today even if it’s myself that I am laughing at.
No ZINGER please.. haha..
