Adventure With Jesus And With An Angel..

I went to Cainta last January 03, 2006 to secure an authenticated diploma and transcript from DFA. I have to go to Malacañang first but I don't know exactly where to go. I asked my brother-in-law what would I ride to be there and so on. I am a bit scared because I haven't been in Manila for 4 years and I am all alone so I am worried. Before I left my sister's house, I prayed hard and asked the Lord to accompany me and asked Him if He can send an angel that will help me find my way. I even kiddingly asked Him, if He can go down from heaven and be with me for awhile. I prayed hard that He will protect me against any harm and from the people who have bad intentions but touch every person's heart that I will mingle with.

While walking and at FX, I am really praying hard. Then I told Him that I am ok and I know that everything is gonna be alright because He is with me. I told Him that this is my adventure with Him. Praise God, I came to Malacañang safe and there I met Tatang Orling. While falling in line, an old man asked me if that is where he should fall in line. Then I said yes. He asked me where I came from and what school I graduated from. What a surprise, he is from Lubao so he is Kapampangan. I feel so at ease and he told me lots of stories about his life and his family. He is getting authenticated diploma for his son who is in Dubai. I am so happy to meet him. We had so much fun while waiting for our turn.

When we finished paying, we have to go back the next day to pick up the documents and go directly to DFA. We go out together and went to Quiapo because that is where I am supposed to ride a bus going to Cainta but I forgot about it and Tatang accompany me and told me that he will show me where I will ride because I told him that I don't know my way home. Before going home, he asked me to eat with him. I trusted him because I know that he is really a person with a good heart. He is 65 years old and he reminded me of my father that I miss so much. When we got our order, and about to partake our food, I closed my eyes and prayed faster. Then he told me that he is not praying anymore before eating. Then I smiled. He told me that I am like his daughter. And everytime he is calling me Gay, it's like hearing my father calling my name.

After eating, he walked me to the place where buses are passing. He waited for me till I ride and then we parted our ways. While sitting on the bus, I am praying for him. I asked the Lord to protect the angel that I met. I know that he is the angel I asked God. I am so happy but tears are flowing from my eyes because I miss my father so much. I wish my father is still here but I know he is happy right now with the Lord.The next day, on my way to Malacañang I am no longer worried because I know the Lord will guide me and protect me and I said to myself, who knows, I will be meeting the same angel I met yesterday. When I came, there he is waiting for me. I am so happy because he is there. I feel like my father is there with me. After getting our papers we went straight to DFA, he paid for our fare. I am insisting to pay for it but he refused to.

While filling up the application, I am helping him what he needs to fill up and what he is suppose to write. Then he told me, how can he accomplish that without me. I told myself, how can I know my way home without him and I smiled. He even accompany me and walk with me to Japan Embassy. He is so strong even he is 65. He is so cool. Then we went back to Quiapo and asked me to eat lunch with him again. It's his treat because he is really insisting for it. He is really kind. I want to pay but he is kind enough to refuse. Then before eating, he told me this "You can pray now. I am done praying.” Oh my gosh. Yesterday he told me that he is not praying anymore. I am so happy and overwhelmed. Praise God! God is truly great, isn't He? I am glad that I am able to help someone to do a good thing that he is no longer doing for a long time. While we are chatting, I can't help it tears are flowing from my eyes. I told him that he reminded me of my father and I miss my father so much. He looked at me and smiled. Then he walked me to Quiapo again and I helped me buy a cup. Then we waited for bus and then we parted ways. On my way to Cainta, I am thinking of him and I am grateful for knowing him. God really loves me so much. Then I prayed for him.

That was a great adventure with Jesus and with an angel. Tatang is truly an angel. If the Lord will permit and give me another chance to work abroad, I will visit him on my first home coming here in the Philippines. I am praying for him always. He is a man with a good heart just like my father.
Now I know that I will be safe and I have nothing to worry because the Lord will always be with me and protect me and willing to send angels to lead me.

“Everything is gonna be alright
Coz' I've got Jesus with me
Everything is gonna be alright
My Saviour is walking with me”
