MEET-UP

"Unplanned trips are the best because planned trips never happen."

I loss count on how many times we have tried to meet and how many times I have prayed for it.

I even ask God why things didn't push through. I just told myself maybe there's a reason...maybe we are not destined to meet..maybe not just yet.

I have been to a lot of wishing wells...

wishing...

hoping...

And when we finally met...

It was October 2006 when Fr. JP and I first met in Butuan. He was a seminarian then. We communicate through text, friendster, YM, and finally facebook came (thanks to technology). From our first meeting I know and I felt that he will be a good priest one day. Our friendship is extraordinary. We've became good friends through time... a long distance friendship that is. He has been there for me, in prayers and at at time where no one else was and for that I will forever be grateful.

He was in Brazil with a 3 yr contract and I have plans to go abroad so there was a thin chance for us to meet. I wasn't expecting anymore. So I told myself, if its meant for us to meet.. it will happen.

Then on December 13, 2016 we had our 2nd meeting after 10 years. I realized that God really works in mysterious ways. Who would have thought that he is coming home and my trip to CDO was already planned even before he arrived. Honestly, I didn't expect for it to happen. Good things do really take time😊
