And when you thought you just recovered from breaking up...

...another fishie comes popping out of the sea.

See, things happen when you see least expect them, or even at the 'eleventh hour'. I think that's one thing really cool with Almighty God. Sometimes we wallow so much in despair that we fail to see the miracle right in front of your eyes. In my case, I wasn't expecting a miracle or anything at all, but it's downright humourous when suddenly BAM, you got flowers, a keg of beer, and a Scottish guy from Inverness. Badda-bing, badda-boom. There's truth to the saying 'let go and let God'.

Hebrews 11.1 says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen." When we place our trust in God, things get set into motion because we are out of the way. After all, how can God work his marvels when we are obstructing his plans? It takes simple trust and faith that brings out a hope for those who love him. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8.28 NIV) Whatever happens, God will take care of you- in life, in death, in sickness, in health, in love, and in sorrow... "All ages and times belong to him; by his holy wounds Christ guard our souls" as we say at the Paschal Vigil. We work on his time, not ours, and it is our impatience that deters us from experiencing God's work at hand.

Heck, I really didn't expect this to happen, but I'm glad I didn't even try.

So are Bible studies cover-ups for meet-ups?

*tickles with laughter*
