Sammie’s Weblog:)

It’s 9:55am. I am at the Humanities section of the UST library. Tears are beginning to fall the second time for this hour.

But this time, I know for sure, I am saved.

Whew.

I left the house at 8am planning to go to the library and study since I wont be able to focus if I were at home, seated in front of the PC. When I was already at the floor most call the “lobby,” even it’s not lobby-ish (or it’s just me because my idea of a lobby is far different), I hurried back up the stairs, to the third floor, to the room, only to get my second most-priced possession for today: my flash disk.

Wow. Good thing I remembered it even before I get on a jeepney.

My article for Cuartero’s class due today was saved there. My printer isn’t working so I looked forward to having it printed in Nitro, or Excel, or Photoprints, or somewhere.

SO I was all confident that I have it on my pocket, or in my bag, or hung on my neck.

Then when I landed on a comfortable, yet cold seat at the library, I opened my Bible and prayed. I said, Lord, please let your glory shine today.

Minutes later, as I was writing things on my planner, photographs of my friends crossed my mind. Great! I am going to print them wallet-sized!

I checked my bag and… OH NO, WHERE IS IT?

On times like these, I would normally panic and run back through where the places I passed on. But today was different. I don’t know where I left it, on the jeep? in the “lobby?” Going home would be too difficult since the typhoon is just around the corner. UST and typhoons are not a very good combination, you know. Plus, I’ll be wasting two hours of my supposedly review time running for that kilobyte file.

I don’t care about the photograhs in it or the files I dearly keep. All I need is my paper. And for the third time today (first was when I woke up), I prayed. I said, Lord I want to cry but Lord, I know you’re in control.

I closed my eyes because I don’t want everything to sink in. Im not dead. I recited Jeremiah 29:11,

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord, ”plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

and Romans 8:28.

“For we know all things work together for those who love God.”

Right that very moment, I knew I’m saved.

I rushed to the one of the library computers and typed www.evernote.com, signed in and THERE I FOUND MY BELOVED THREE-PAGE YURI URIBE ARTICLE, white as snow!

I don’t know why I saved it there because I don not really believe in back-upping files. I’m too trusting. Haha.

WHEW. Now I really know how not to be anxious in everything, that in everything I really should go through prayer and just present my requests and problems to God (from Phil 4:6).

As I look at the window on my right, I see, I see the sun shine beneath the hazy day. His glory shines.

 

Note: I wasn’t paid by Evernote to write this. Hahahaha.
