It is wonderful to see how God work things out. In the summer, I was praying to God a lot that I am going to be lonely in Fall Quarter as I wouldn't be able to see my close friends . Life turns meaningless as I have no one to look upon to, no one to place my care on , no one to talk to , no one to listen to his/her life chanting. Study wasn't my main goal, although I know it is important for the secure of our future. Since young, I have learned, from whom I have observed, life is not about work if there is no friend coming to our life to share our story or share in his or her life as well, especially during the old age. God make humans for a purpose , to learn about relationship. With this relationship only that we are able to see God's meaning of love in us.
Back to the point, my loneliness was first shared with Jinhee. She was once very lonely person. She told me how she wanted friends so much and on the same time fear of the people around her. I understood how she felt because I felt that way before. Despite of that, she is a strong woman and she took much more braver step than I did, and now what she has sowed, she reaped bountiful of friends who trust her for her genuine friendship and care. She is the one, among the mist, who is so fervent to God in prayer for each of us. She is also a very spiritual person who makes me understand more about God's word. I thank her so much for leading the Bible study.
Jinhee being a motherly-like friend in our mist, there is a fatherly-like friend as well in my circle of friends. In the beginning, when I first talk to him, he is very tricky person and teased me a lot to the point that I doubt whether he is a good guy or not. But as time past, I get to find out that he , deep in his heart, is a humble and kind person. In the same time, he is very observant and analyze people's behavior very well. Now, I can understand he could know someone's personality by just looking at us and knowing a few things from us. Amusing as it is, he still manage to bond a strong friendship with everyone and on the same time being caringly critical. Hahaha...he is funny now that I recall what kind of person he is. There was one day, he wasn't there with us, all of us couldn't study at all because we missed so much of his fatherly presence. Everyone calles him 'appa'now. :D I ask that God will meet his heart's desire to seek a wonderful Christian woman to share his life with. He was once lonely person, a life much more saddening than we have, praise God that he has found his purpose in life.
Hermano...hermano...he is so funnny. I can say that he is the source of lifelines in our mist. I guess without him, the group would be really quiet. Appa said that he is like Simon in the Book of Mark. Appa said Simon is Jesus favorite disciple because he receives God's word and understand on it so easily and never make second thoughts. I think what he said is true. Just a new believer a few months back, he is able to share the gospel so easily and conveniently and yet understand the truth of it more than anyone of us. Sometimes, I am amazed that I get more knowledge and wisdom from him even though I am older Christian. God has blessed him so much. He told me as well, he prayed to God because he was worried of being lonely as well in the Fall. My gud friend, Marcos Daniel, whom I taught Chinese last year , always recommended me to meet his housemate but I never actually did . However, with every mention of his name Paul, there is a spur of feeling in my heart that someday he will be a friend, an unusual friend. (haha...this was how i met my best friend too, Zerene also, Jinhee also, Zeuven- I am not sure lol ) Indeed, now he has become my lovely brother. Mischievous as he is but he is a very passionate person. Luv ya, hermano! I wish I could express more my luv to u as a sister who loves her brother very much.
aiyaya.... to be continued.
