So back to the storyyyy

- Part 2 -

This story isn't really about me. It's a story about my friend at church. Just continue reading and you'll understand :)

So there's this friend of my friend who wanted to buy a Blackberry Torch through him. So he said okay, and went to AT&T. He looked at the Blackberry Torch and the price was something about $545. The people there told him that his AT&T contract has passed 2 years. That's a good thing! He was able to get a special price and the price was reduced to something of $200-ish. And then somehow, he got other additional discounts, I don't really know for what. But the final price became something around $190! Amazing! Paying that for what was originally $545!!!

So he was shocked himself and asked Lord what to do. So the Lord told him, "Don't lie."

Okay, so he went back to his friend and told him that the original price was $545. He didn't lie. One thing led to another, and his friend paid him more than what he gave out. He got some extra money now, but knew it was all God's money. Before this, he had asked God to get his first fruit too.

Once again, he asked God what to do with his money. He told his girlfriend, and she hoped that it was for fine dining maybe.. lol... He himself hoped that he could use it to buy an iPod if I'm not mistaken. But they prayed to God about it. And God simply answered.

"Keep it."

They were confused about it but decided to listen to God. They kept the money.

The end of October was approaching. It was time to celebrate the church's birthday with luncheon! Usually there is this thing where you can donate some building fund to the church or to Nepal. During that time, he thought that the money was to be used for Nepal. So he was about to write down and the Lord spoke to him again.

"Keep it."

He became even more perplexed. He felt the itch everytime he opened his wallet and seeing that large sum of money inside. It was weird, he wondered what God wanted him to do with it. But he obeyed God's command and kept the money.

At that moment... His girlfriend gave me a phone call. (This is where the pieces starts to fall into its place) She started talking about the upcoming thanksgiving retreat. And I honestly told her that I wasn;t sure whether I was going or not. I explained that I was still afraid to ask my mom for permission after the whole $160 incident. I was afraid she would get mad at me and won't allow me to go. So she told me she understood my situation and we ended the conversation.

After that, she went to her boyfriend and told him about my situation.

And that's when the Holy Spirit moved him.

They finally understood what the money was for.


And so, the night during CG while everyone was still eating, they called me to come with them. I was still unaware of everything and actually felt a bit frightened at the sudden call and everything, lol. But they told me in a joking way that there is nothing to be afraid of.

When things got serious, he started to tell me the whole story about his friend, the Blackberry and the money. He told me how he had this money, his first fruit from God. And God told him to give it to me.

I was shocked, devastated, speechless, in disbelief... I was confused and amazed at the same time. I couldn't simply take the money like that...

"I didn't even try asking to my mom yet," I told him.

"That's okay, God gave this to you."

I was still unsure.

Then he told me...

"This is God's money, not mine. He wants me to give it to you, so please accept it."

My eyes started to get teary and I couldn't control my emotions. I was so touched and... uuuuugh... I can't even explain my feelings clearly! It was this wonderful feeling, knowing that I am loved by God. I started to hug my friend (the girlfriend that is) while he kept reminding me "God loves you, God loves you."

And he is right.

God truly does love me. He told me that He would reward me, and He did!
Even though it's in a different way from what I expected, but still!!!!

And so... I could not refuse God's money...
And now... I'll be going to retreaaaatttt!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

God is sooooooooo GREAT!!!!!!!
Praiseeeee God!!!!!!!
