I know Jesus since I was a little girl. My parents used to bring my siblings and I to church every Sunday. We are Catholics and participated in all traditions. My favorite is attending Christmas midnight mass. In retrospect, I like it because I knew in short hours I’ll be opening my gifts. This pretty much tell you that my faith in early years was robotic or guided by my worldly desires. In a way, my parents did a great job instilling in me that there is God. After I left my family home and moved to a different city, I always looked for a church.
Fast forward, I was working in a company where it was allowed for supervisors to threaten their direct reports on getting fired, to play blame games instead of focusing on teamwork. Everyday as I walked to the entrance, I prayed to God to remove this boss or myself away from this toxic environment. A series of events happened and lead me losing my job. I didn’t cry. I was relieved that I got an answer to my prayers. I did question, why me and not him. Immediately God showed me the scripture John 3:17 you may not realize what I’m doing but later you will understand. Trust in God. And so I rested my mind and body for a week cause I was exhausted from the pressures in the past months. I cut down all unnecessary expenses in my household. One of them is tv cable. I do have an Apple TV which I bought thru a gift card. In between sending out job applications, I watched YouTube. One day I came across a video from Discovery Ministry explaining Nathan’s vision on end of times. This opens up my thirst for information about end of times. I started watching videos from Christians. It was not enough and I looked for a book I have not touch for a long time. I found my dusty old bible and checked out the scriptures they were quoting. At first, I got scared when they speak about the last days. I am not ready so I watched more Christian teachings and even found a Bible based Catholic Group The Light of Jesus. And as my faith grows stronger, my fear was replaced by my love for Jesus. I developed this deep longing for his second coming. I prayed he’ll give me signs or dreams so I know I am closer to him.
I love Jesus because he gives me peace and hope that all the desires of my heart will come to pass. Everyday I have a revelation while reading the Bible and I want to share it for the glory of our Heavenly Father. This will be the theme of my blog and I hope we will journey together in seeking the kingdom of God. Till next time.
