You know those days where you are expecting the day to go a specific way and then…
it doesn’t happen?
It was one of those days for me. I was expecting to go to work, hang out with friends before I leave for the Philippines and enjoy the company of friends. Well, didn’t happen.
Instead I went to work, went home, waited for a couple hours to see what was up, and ended up going to late dinner with my two younger cousins.
It bothers me when my day changes even just a bit…But praise God it did.
I ended up bringing my cousins to adoration here at about 11:50pm. Pretty late for a young high schooler and an elementary kid.
Long story short, we all sat together, in front of our Father, and just prayed together. I don’t know what they were praying for, or if they even understood what was going on in adoration but what I do know, was that the Lord was working.
It affirmed me of my duties as an older brother, a son, a friend, a role model that is reflecting the works of Christ to others…
After we left, we were just sharing with each other what we thought of what just happened and the thing that struck me the most was something so simple, but so beautiful.
My youngest cousin (Elementary school) asked me what the code was for the adoration chapel…In fact he kept asking me when is it open etc etc…I finally gave in to telling him the code.
What he will do with it? Only God knows.
But praise God. It was a bright and clear affirmation of what I am called to do. To be and bring Christ wherever I am.
A little late with my family, but just in Time. His time.
Deo Gloria
