I will follow U

Hi there......

Sorry for the loooooooong absence.....never seem to be able to find the time to be quiet and write lately.....everything seems to be soooo hectic. Anyways, just want to shoot a quick one before I forget.

Yesterday I went to visit a co-worker, V, at the hospital. He just recently got hospitalized because he is having more and more difficulties breathing. A number of friends from office visit the day before and they gave me the room number but when I got there with another friend, we couldn't find V. Later we found out that V was moved to ICU unit that day, and someone told us the room number and how to get there.

I was just off work, tired and hungry, my mind doesn't seem to work so I told my friend, "You were listening to the directions, right? I will follow you." Not long after I said that, I started realized my friend was missing. Apparently I was walking ahead of him and did not realize he made a right turn on the first door. Duuhhh.....

God reminded me that I do that to Him often too. A lot of times I said "OK, God, I will follow You" but I was walking ahead and I did not even pay attention or focus on His presence. When things get frustrating, instead of following Jesus to a quiet place to pray, I went ahead and vent first. I guess I am a terrible follower....

But thank God for his kindness and mercy, and also for the gentle Holy Spirit rebukes. There is HOPE in Jesus!

As for prayer request, please pray for healing for V. He is really sick.....

Have a great weekend, everyone! Enjoy the rain! =)
