It is Not a Coincidence [I]

I have always wanted to post an entry here, but work these few days did not permit me to do so. We started work on Wednesday; oh, what a good break that we had. However, we have to back to the reality.

I had a good time this holiday. For the first time, I wore a Saree. I really felt comfortable wearing it and it was quite interesting to learn about the process. I really thank my friends, MGA and MAD for their company on the first two days of holidays.

It was also the first time I attended a Catholic Mass. This is a very different experience all together as their rituals are totally different from ours. Well, I think it is a good thing as I get to learn about something different from my own culture and practice. It is definitely an eye opener.

I had a good rest on Monday. Dad slipped, fell and injured his arm. There is no one to fetch me to the station in the morning. So I took some driving practices with my brother and it did not turn out too bad, bearing in mind that I did not drive for the past eight years.

On Tuesday I went out with WJ. For the first time since many many months ago, we had 'our' time, i.e. a time just for the both of us. Although it felt awkward at first but I guess we managed to go with the flow.

So, what is meant by "it is not a coincidence"?

For some reason, I wanted to look for handphones as I thought it is time to change my 'smart' phone (s).

For some reason, we just dropped by at one of the stalls.

For some reason, we chatted with the sales person for quite some time (more than half an hour).

For some reason, we talked about his personal experience (s).

For some reason, we introduced God to him.

For some reason, he showed interest in what we were talking about.

For some reason, he did not reject when we asked him to join church activities.

For some reason, we became 'acquaintances'.

Of course, I did not really talk with this sales person, KF throughout the whole conversation as I was busy thinking about my 'new phone(s)', so it was WJ who talked to him most. I believe it is not by coincidence that we get to experience this.

As he did not have his lunch yet, (at that time, it was already near dinner time), WJ went to buy a bread for him and he told WJ that he was touched by the small deed. I believe small deeds such as this will be a great blessing in the future. As the saying goes, we must go around to plant our seeds, and God will determine the time to harvest.

All in all, I really had a good time this holiday. Although I did not really rest physically but I had a good time with friends whom I seldom get in touch with.

I hope that I can continue the story about KF in the future and the story will go on and on to encourage all of us that God never forgets about us, even in our times of despair, He is always there for us. Even if He is not there, He will send someone to convey His message to us. All we have to do is to focus, to focus on His direction, on His voice, on His light, on HIM ALONE.
