Coincidence? Not likely...

FB chat is always offline for me when I go to Facebook. But tonight, my sister asked me to go offline to see if her classmate is online. I didn't like it because I have no plan of staying long in Facebook and to get caught up in chat is the last thing I wanted tonight. My sister told me that I could go offline right after she's seen who's in my online list. But after scanning the online list, a part of me didn't want to go offline. Perhaps, I want to chat with whoever will pop up. I haven't chatted for a long time and so I gave way.

In a short while there were two pop-ups. Those were my college classmates. It's great to keep in touch with them and to see where they are going. Encouraging them in starting small in their chosen career is the best thing I can do for them. After sometime too, the OM Philippines director popped up. Here's our short chat:

I don't know about you but this chat gave me hope and it served as a sign. For the past months I haven't really been progressing on my desire to enter STEP (Short Term Exposure Program) in Doulos. I've been studying my heart. I don't want to go to Doulos just because I want to. I want to go because I want to go and the Lord wants me to go. Hearing the OM Director himself say that he wants me to go is a very encouraging thought. That would be very exciting if I could go... besides my passport is on the way in a few weeks' time. We'll see what path God wants me to take...

Another chat incident was right after the OM Director finished our chat. This time it came from a neighbor. She asked me if I could tutor her son on weekends. I was a bit taken aback since I'm in my half-year gap and I'm not keen on getting employment except for volunteer works. Something in me said yes but I still have to talk to my mom about it. Well, I would know her answer but still it's different when your parents know what steps you are taking in your life. No matter how little.

Another incident is off chat but well it happened today. It's a writing offer in True Love Waits. I'm really excited about it since it's going to be more than volunteer work as the TLW director told me.  Nothing specific yet but I'll see where the Lord will lead this. Well... those are all the incidents for today. The Lord is Jehovah-Rapha!
