God is Faithful to My Trips

God is indeed faithful from the very beginning when I booked my tickets on an extreme sale.  Imagine round trip for Singapore only 2,600.00 and Boracay 2,100.00.  Where can you get such a price???

As in my previous blog, I almost did not make it in Singapore twice.  First, I was mistaken with the date and second I was mistaken with time.  But anyway, God uses a lot of things to correct my forgetful mind.  Praise God.

The week before I left for Singapore, I was checking our Yahoo Weather and its stated in the extended forecast that Singapore would be experiencing thunderstorm throughout my stay there, but it was sunny except for a late afternoon drizzle, the weather for the whole duration was great.  Only Bryan was complaining about how hot it was but I really did not felt the heat of the place.  Praise God.  We kept on checking the weather, it continues to indicate thunderstorm, so we have to bring umbrellas everyday but we were not able to use them.

When I was in Boracay, the same thing.  Thunderstorm as indicated in the weather forecast but it was sunny except for one late afternoon drizzle and that's about it.  I was able to enjoy and was well rested throughout the two trips.

At first, I should be staying with the family of Stanley hia, but his in-laws were also coming in on the same time with me.  So the week before, I left for Singapore, I was actually homeless.  Good thing, I called up a friend and he will be out for a meeting in Berlin, so he was willing to lend me his beautiful flat.  His flat was so relaxing from the time  you enter his door.  Wow, incredible, how God has prepared things for me in advance.  So, I get to procrastinate everyday in Singapore, leaving around lunchtime.  I was so free and never in a hurry since I lived there solo.  And best, was the place location; it is located in Robertson Quay where the night life is, hehehe.... not I enjoyed night life but the whole place was so convenient with restaurants, stores, shops all over the place.  I would not have enjoyed so much freedom if I was to live in Stanley hia's place.   Mahihiya naman ako kay Anne chi and sa mga kids... hehehe...

Another area, I thank God was the schedule of Bryan.  Who would ever know that the exact dates I will be there would be his midterm break.  No one knows, I booked first week of May, he has not even booked his flight going to Singapore that time.  So, Bryan became my tour guide the whole duration.  It's that amazing... grabe talaga magplan si God.  You would really marvel how He planned my itinerary for my trips.

The best in Singapore was my chat with my friend, he came back during my last night stay.  So, we got to talk and he was an branding director of a well known company at the same time does a lot of image consulting with people.  Bryan and I got free consultation... hehehe.  In this trip, God allowed me to realize certain things especially those missing in my life.  Yah, midlife crisis is not really over.  I am still procrastinating and has not been up to my feet for ministry.  God has allowed me to see several important things in my life and I really have to move on.  It is not that I do not trust God with my next assignment... I am just procrastinating... maybe I have been very tired for the past few years of ministry.  It is time for new heights and challenges.

Through this trip, I was able to make a decision that I would go and move to my long delayed assignment as instructed by the Lord.  It allowed me to realized I have been relying much on myself, experience and people who were trained by me for the past years to prepare for this next leap.  But, God doesn't want them.   God only wants me to do this next leg of ministry.

I just need to submit now, and has determined to submit once and for all.

Boracay gave me another boost of rest... I enjoyed the whole trip.  God was also gracious with friends who allowed me to stay in his house.  I just want to be myself, got tanned, got to eat good food, got to read a book, got to wander around and finally in the last minute of our stay... got a tatoo... hehehe

To God be all the glory!!!
