Moving Forward

Monday last week was quite a fright for me. Usually when I ride a public vehicle and I get a feeling that something bad is going to happen, I get off. This time it was different. It was a test of trust for me and I was so thankful that I cannot help but share a Bible verse in my twitter account.

You see around this time last year, my bag got snatched just a few blocks from where I was staying. I was traumatized in a way that I get scared when I hear the sound of a motorcycle. Last night I came from a friend's home and I have my netbook and ipod with me. I rode at the back of the FX because I thought the middle is already full. Then, a few minutes a huge guy joined me at the back and then a few blocks after, another man with the same built alighted. The girl I was sitting across will get off in a few minutes and I will be alone with this two. I mean, no one will notice right if I got held up? So in my mind, I am already starting to panic. But, there was a nagging voice inside me saying that I should stay. I stayed put and I was able to arrive at the office safe.

I will not say that I am glad I did stay but I was overwhelmed by the fact that God secured me. He told me to trust Him and He did not fail me. Come to think of it, He never ever failed me. I am just thankful for the experience and I am quite sure that like Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter series said, "When you lose something, you will find it again but maybe not in the way you expect," I will be able to recover what I have lost whether it be a material thing or a person. I believe that 2011 will definitely be my year.
