Exact Fare only!

          That moment when you have to pay for your bus ticket only to find out that you left your wallet in your locker at the office. PANIC! 

          Since we don't have a lot of work load last Friday we were allowed to go home earlier than usual, and that is already a blessing. So I packed my things and went to the locker to get my bag and other stuff. What I didn't noticed and my bad for not checking is that my wallet was not inside my bag.

Earlier that Day

Faith and Me

          Me and Faith (a close christian friend in the office) went down to ministop to buy something to eat. While paying for all the food in front of the cashier, Faith gave me 4 pesos. That 4 pesos was not actually a payment nor a change, she just gave it to me. So I place it in my pants' back pocket.

So going back to the wallet.

          Just like the usual "time to go home" bus ride, when the bus conductor approached me to get my payment, that's the time I realized that my wallet is missing! Uh-oh..Panic Attack! I even remember saying, "Ay Manong pababa na lang pala," hahaha... but he didn't heard me so I started searching for "mga natatagong pera." I started to pray that God will provide for my fare, then I found the 4 pesos that Faith gave me earlier that day. But, its not enough so I searched again, at the side pocket, I found a 20 peso bill.. Haaaallelujah! 

          I can't help but smile on God's provision for me. Can't help but continuously thank Him for providing right that very moment. Who would have thought that, that 4 pesos Faith gave me earlier that day would also be a blessing in disguise. Maybe God prompted her to give it to me unconsciously while we were in the cashier... me, accepting it even if i have money... I don't know, all I know is that God really provides for His children. 

    

          So all in all, I have 24 pesos in hand, which is the Exact Fare that I need to pay to be able to go back to the office and get the forgotten wallet. God is really sweet and thoughtful, I can definitely go back to the office by walking, but He knew that I don't like the feeling of "pawisan" and "mainit" so He gave me money instead. (They call me madam boxi, cause i'd rather take a cab than to be pawisan)

          Now I appreciate manong guard in the office. He would always tells us, in his native Bacolod/ Ilonggo tone... "Uuwi na kayo maam/sir? Wala na po ba kayo nakalimutan?" Confident enough, we would/ I would always answer... "wala po." We used to imitate him and make fun of him because of that. I think I owe him some apology and would take him seriously next time. ^_^  

Philippians 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

         

The Blogger

Before and After of my Journal draft entry for my blog

          I consider this day as my Couch Patatas Sunday (taken from couch potato). I have been reading a lot of articles, news, stories, recent and old facts and blog sites since I woke up. So far I am blessed to find good reads, specially christian blog sites.

Jen and Me

          I started writing blogs way back 2010 after my office girl-bff Jen encouraged me to create one. I have no idea how to maintain or even create a blog site. I'm not even good with writing. I think i will just mess up and make a fool of myself because of wrong spelling, wrong grammar and a no-brainer-not-thought provoking-not-interesting topics. But even so, i took the challenge and created one.

          

          The main purpose why I created a blogsite is for me to share the works of God in my life. How He revealed Himself in different situations, circumstances, and how He rescued me from every fall and wrong decisions that i made.

          Hesitant as I am in sharing my innermost thoughts for public viewing, I trust that God will be in control. Before, I thought that creating a blog will require so much information of my private life, that I have to say everything, but I realized that it is not the main purpose. 

          I want my blog site to be a blessing to other people, that whoever will happen to read it will see God's goodness through my life. That they will know how Great our God is. 

          After reading the blogs of Joe Bonifacio, Rica Peralejo-Bonifacio and Joy Tan Chi- Mendoza, I was inspired to be more consistent in updating my blogs and sharing. I have also decided to delete some old blog entries that are not edifying or will not bring glory to God. 

          I want to start with the Now and leave Yesterday behind and hope for a blessed Tomorrow.  

1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
