Exactly one month when we decided to freeze our communication, me and him, Manuel is the name. It was on the last days of March when we started to communicate again, from not texting to texting me again, from not visiting to visiting me again, from no phone calls to phone calls again. He visited me again and continued the courtship with me. I don't know what was the Lord's purpose of allowing us to be together again, what I know is, it was because of a purpose.
I never get tired of asking the Lord for the right time for both of us. I have my own things, personal things to consider before entering a relationship with someone. And allowing him to court me is but a sign of considering him as my future partner, God permits. =) I have my list of plans on hand, one of the reasons why I cannot give my precious 'YES' to him. Like establishing a cell group first to disciple any of my friends, or people outside my group, and so on. That was my immediate plan. And all the way, I was with the Lord in every decision that I made.
The Lord spoke to me (same way and manner when he spoke to me to freeze for a while) during my devotion time @ KEPCO. It was in Ecclesiastes 11:9 "Be happy, young man, while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment." I have been asking the Lord when to start my forever with this man, and with this verse I found my security to finally commit, to enjoy this stage of my life remembering that in every action that I will make, the Lord will put me to judgment. Either good or bad. I prayed harder to the Lord if this is really what He wants me to do. I don't wanna be in wrong side of making decision, for as long as I am guided by the Lord, I am more than alright.
May 8-- it was a beautiful Sunday for the both of us. He visited me early in the morning and attended the morning service at CLS. I have this idea to finally have a commitment with him. I texted my trusted friends to be with me in prayers the whole day. After the service we went home to have our lunch at home (which we usually do), went back to church for youth bible study with CLS Youth and Ptr. Medel. At 3pm he dropped me off @ hospital for my 3-11 duty, he went home and stayed with my siblings @ home and watched movie. At 11pm he picked up from hospital and brought me home safe. It was a rainy night so he stayed a bit. We exchange stories and then that was the time I actually say YES. Without him knowing that I have plans to start my forever with him at that very moment. He was shocked, obviously, and the rest is history. The last part that didn't come up even in my wildest imagination is when he asked me to pray for him. He held my hand and we did pray for each other. That was the most touching part I wouldn't forget.
I will forever be amazed on how God put us together, it's beyond my expectations. And yes, OUR FOREVER has just begun. =)
I love you MVSIV! =))
