the joke's on me :)

last night i had a coffee date with kate. she texted me last sunday and asked when i was available for coffee. i panicked and worried that she might be stepping down that's why she was asking to meet with me. we had our coffee chat but she didn't mention anything about stepping down. we just talked about stuff. i went home puzzled. couldn't figure out what happened.

but i realized it this morning, and the joke's on me.

last friday was our sisters unit household. i received a text from labs saying that more likely it would just be her, me, and ann (who's hosting) at the household. i felt so bad and was wondering how things turned out that way and why we can't seem to get our household members to attend, especially mine coz none of them were attending. as i prayed the rosary while driving to work, i lifted up each of my household heads and i prayed for the Lord to just take care of them and touch their hearts, and to gently remind them of their calling because i couldn't anymore. i felt like i've done all that i can, and i still can't get them to respond. so i gave it all up to Him.

when i came to the office that day, the first email i saw was from jeel saying that she's coming to the household & she's bringing nemis with her. for a while i was just staring blankly at the screen because i couldn't believe it. she's already told me at least twice that week that she wasn't attending. nemis said she'll try but i knew that she more likely will not make it. so it was no less than a miracle that the two of them were going! i just really praised God because he heard my prayer and has responded almost instantaneously! ang galing!

anyway, what i've realized this morning was that my coffee with kate last night was His pahabol response to my cry last friday. He still assures me in my service, especially at times when i really need it.

Thank you Lord, for being so ever-present in my life. Thank you for assuring me and holding my hand when times are tough. Thank you for always showing me a glimpse of your glory. You are my wonderworker! :)
