We Are All Angels In Disguise

https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/3787233-angels-in-disguise

I was driving one afternoon out of the university.  The traffic was so tight that I felt like I had no way to go further than go back to the parking lot of the university.  Despite of that I whispered silent prayer to just make go through it when suddenly i saw the traffic flow stopped in front of me.  A saw a man in white shirt riding a motorcycle blocked the two lanes.  Looked at me sharply and signaled me through his eyes conversing through mine giving me a "Go" signal. 

I was like a child, obeying to that signal.  I swerved forward...goose skinned.  I was checking on him while he moved away so fast without looking back at where the car that I'm driving is located.  Well, I thought of an angel again.  And that week, I had lots of those encounters such as when I left my wallet at the grocery cart at the parking lot when someone called me up and raised in the air ...mmmmyyyy waallllettt  (ooohhhhh) with everything in it including my intestines, lungs and heart (just joking). 

And then, I left my ATM card at a cashier in one department store.  I realized the next day only that I don't have it when i was about to purchase some items in the grocery at another mall.  I still got it full and complete given to me by that beautiful supervisor of the grocery store information counter (SM uptown). Thank you Lord with shouts of Joy and Gladness... 

But gadanghag lang gyud ko  ( I was just very careless)  hahahhahaha.  Yet, the message.   I was being reminded by God with the presence of His angels in many different forms.  That HE IS ALIVE humans disguised as angels.  

And, my story did not end that way.  I returned the same favor to a driver who hit my car.  An old driver from Maramag Bukidnon carrying heavy loads.  He did not look at his mirror and suddenly turned his direction towards me (driver's side).  All those that ride with him "chorused" with their shouts of shock and "horroooor".  At my end  i was "hoorrrored" (hahhahaha) by what happened.  I don't want to make this story long.  I forgave him which I think shocked him "to the max".  I stated "  manong, let us solve this problem.  I will contact my insurance. Just pray that everything will be covered".  I asked for his number and in matter of less than 10 minutes, we were both back on the road.  

I'm sure it made him happy.  At my end, it felt more than that. PEACE.   I felt so at peace.  At that time, I was not certain with how much insurance would cover. The most important thing was that, I did not make life difficult for that man.  Did I suffer?  A little bit when i was questioned related to money by someone.  But i found my peace again...with the realization - Money is not everything.  My relationship with God is what I value the most.  

God will take care of me...I am sure of that...In fact He makes Himself so busy attending with me and my needs now ...:-)

Amen to that...

A toast to everyone who work it out to become ANGELS IN DISGUISE for others. I tell you ...Angels...they manifest their presence by letting us "loose" from our difficulties.  By making life easier for others (without question).  We can do the same...:-) 

Suddenly I feel The Need To "Rekindle" Blogging

Wives, Mothers and friends on Life's True Journey ( naa diay false? hahahahha)

I felt the many opportunities to write again for my blog site.  Yet, I did not.  It is not that i lost the motivation to write.  It is the fear of being judged.  I thought of varied reactions from people.  I thought how best intentions could be misinterpreted.  I admit I allowed myself to be carried away.  I simply hid myself from prying eyes.  Instead, I posted messages already crafted by creative individuals.  I chose images and messages that could define my heart.  Or simply define my values (not really with the intention to hurt anyone).

Then, suddenly someone today,  my long time friend and prayer partner Vilma reminded me that.  It was like a subtle yet strong invitation to write again.  I felt the grace  when we conversed.  We were sharing our stories of struggles and victories with life.  We were sharing how encounters with challenging individuals that have become the "acid test"  with our character,  values, faith and beliefs.  We were recalling how our friendship has found its strong ground in our service to God previously when we were active in our Catholic Christian community, our workplaces and community (like Church involvement).   We were sharing our life as wives and mothers and the prayers that we've said to God over and over again for our loved ones and other people who may be needing prayers.

It was a brief yet rich encounter.  It was that special moment that made me realize to recount God's blessings again and not focus on life's tragedies.  To decide to grow, embrace life, and  my faith in God who can only define and redefine my daily journey.

Truly, I needed the push, the affirmation to simply go through the breeze and say yes to writing again.  And, I thank my dear friend and prayer partner Vilma ...my "soulmate" in my Christian journey so that I will able to bravely traverse life again in the spirit of openness and total surrender to whatever there is to come...

To God be the Glory...Halleluiah!!!

PS :  To go back blogging is like "New Year"  ...so shall I say "Happy New Year in May" for me ...and everyone...
