(Too Sleepy To Think Of A Good Title)
Tonight has been very tiring and exhausting. Even though my throat felt better than before, my runny nose became clogged, the coughing due to my acid reflux came back, and I feel like a fever is on its way. I feel soooo very sleepy right now but I just had this strong urge to write this down. Because something happened worthwhile that I want to keep.
I shouldn't have gone to another city today because I wasn't feeling very good. But I thought, since my throat is feeling better, my condition wouldn't have probably worsen. But as you can see it has. And somehow a part of me wanted to regret. That I should have waited for another day for me and my younger sister to go on a trip. However, my contacts solution was getting empty so that's what probably triggered me to get going because I can't seem to find any suitable solution here in my home town.
Anyway, that's just the beginning. I'm not really good at narrating so I'll just go straight to the things that made this day worthwhile. And I'm glad they happened.
You see, the trip from a neighboring city is two hours away to our home town by bus. So we got all the time just talking and talking. It was already 9:00 PM (I think) when the bus left the terminal so we practically arrived at around 11:00 PM which is very unusual since we don't usually travel during these times here. Why we rode the bus at 9:00 PM is another story. But it's not really that important.
The things that really made the trip worthwhile was talks we had with my sister. The old times. I miss the old times. We used to talk a lot with my younger sister before we sleep when the lights are out or when we are both in our room just chit chatting. It's not everyday that you have a sister whom you can talk with about almost everything! And what's fulfilling in our talks is that they show how close we are that we can even open the most intimate and deep topics that we can't possibly discuss with anyone else. It's such a relief to have these good times once again. Connecting with someone in a very deep level. I'm gonna miss this when I go back to work.
Another thing that I want to keep in my memory which is the one thing that really urged me to write was that when we arrived home exhausted, hungry, and holding my bladder for a very long time, I found my younger brother silently sitting on a chair with his head in a bowing position and headset on his ears. We didn't bother him at first because I went straight to the C.R. and then straight to preparing food to eat. We were very noisy but my brother seems unmoved. So I moved closer to him and I saw him reading my Bible that I left on the computer desk. Honestly, this sight really made my heart glad because something like this is kind of unusual. I haven't talked to my brother about Christianity or the Bible and I have the slightest idea of his faith (except I know he believes in God and Jesus and the Bible. But that's just it). We really haven't discussed things like this (Oh, the irony of it). I'm always looking for timings, but my fears get the best of me. But I'm just glad that the opportunity presented itself. And it's just this morning (or yesterday) that I actually first read the Bible while here in my home town and I left it in the computer desk afterwards. Something like this isn't just plain coincidence. And I'm really grateful that God made this happened.
I then told my brother that if he wanted my Bible he can have it. And I'm just glad that he received it with such joy. We then started eating and discussing about the Bible, Christianity, and religion. It's actually the first time that me and my two siblings talked stuff like these and it's really quite fulfilling and awe-inspiring I could feel tears are starting to pour down (I can be really emotional when no ones around).
Then my brother told us about a person he had encountered over the net in which he had a deep intimate conversation with. It was a very unlikely encounter because most of the people over the net are rather unpleasant, indecent or vulgar due to anonymity. He, too, was surprised that he was able to meet someone who was decent and sensible. It was a site called emegle.com (I can't quite remember) and both of my siblings knew this site. (I guess I'm getting old to catch up?:/). It's like a random chat where you meet up with a stranger and you get to know each other through that chat. The website itself is the one who randomly picks up a chatter who is using the site as well. I really don't know how it works but my bro said it was a very unlikely encounter. He never thought he can find a sensible person in that website.
This is getting long and I'm getting really tired so to make the long story short, he was able to chat with an atheist and they talked about religion and stuff. And it was a very fulfilling encounter for him (he felt good after the chat) because he became an instrument in sharing his faith to that person and made that person ponder about his life as an atheist. And it's just overwhelming.
