a promise

photo taken 27th of may 2007;

facing the ladies dorm at Philippine Baptist Theological Seminary (PBTS),

Guisad, Baguio City.

an ordinary scene, two trees facing each other along a narrow path. so what's in it, anyway?

my companions were busy negotiating with PBTS about the food and accomodations for the DNG Pilipinas 2007. i wait outside, and communed with God.

the first thing that i saw was the big pine tree, a strong, sturdy and old tree... and in a far away corner was a small, just-starting to grow pine tree...

God impressed on me that, that big pine tree was someone i knew, someone i liked so much... he was someone i always looked up to... a great and a established man! and that small tree was me, just starting to grow, just starting to learn things...

and then God allowed me to see that two trees in the picture. i prayed, "Lord, give me someone who will be just right beside me, someone whom i'll grow old with, that together we'll learn how to live life... someone that fits me well."

after a few more minutes staring at the sight, i went back inside. and on the wall, i saw a poster saying:

"The good thing that you desire

will become the best thing

when you allow God

to give it to you

in His time."

He has made everything beautiful in its time." - Eccl 3:11

God's way of answering my prayer, i believe.

i will keep on believing God's promises
i might have to wait for sometime
but one thing i know
"it is sure, it is the best thing... it'll be beautiful"
