That Divine Ending

Well, I wanna dedicate this post to just the final ending of my trip.

I remembered before flying off, that i prayed to God for Him to send someone to sit next to me on my flights when i sat alone. someone who would help me even. someone to direct me again. i felt i needed help.

Well, had almost forgotten about it after those 6 weeks of adventure, so much has gone by. Little did I expect that God would place me to sit next to a pastor on my flight back to Singapore! wow.

What was more exciting was that, he wasn't supposed to sit next to me! Before I boarded the flight, the mysterious lady who was supposed to sit next to me had wanted to change seats for some reason and she switched it with this pastor, who was travelling with his wife and daughter. yet before that, this pastor had switched with his daughter, so that the girl could sit with her mother. So much switching! it was as if that big guy up there was orchaestrating something before i stepped onto the plane.

When I told him about my prayer, he was happy to say, "See! God wants us to sit together!"

My heart was so happy. so glad. i almost wanted to cry in the midst of our conversation, but i held back my tears. we talked for about 2 hours until we got our dinner, then we rested. i asked him so many questions, so unashamedly... because i really wanted to know. it had become a burden. and i thank God that this newfound person had helped give me peace in knowledge and understanding again. so much, that i didn't even realise that my friends in front could hear me so loudly.

though, of course, i didn't ask ALL my questions. i still have a lot. but just what i had asked, had helped me feel settled. furthermore, there were also things he said that really shed so much light on certain other things. How I wish i were as wise as well. he didn't make me feel ashamed. but he made me laugh. =)

how amazing when people's paths cross. i'm in awe.

He's going to Indonesia for 2 years of social work, training teachers after the tsunami had hit 2 years ago. If there's anyone interested in helping out with the tsunami, let me know. i'm sure he'll be more than glad to contact the people there.

What a blessing.

could it be that the whole journey was meant to show me the end?
