What if the bonus question in your long exam would be about what is destiny? Immediately you would answer about people or something that are fated or destined to be with each other or someone that you've been waiting for a long period of time or it could be someone you are in a relationship with and all those corny and cheezy stuffs in every girl's fantasy, right? Oh come on, scratch that please. I think all those stuff is ruining the poor word destiny. The word destiny itself is being used to much especially in Valentine's day or weddings I think it was very abused. I used to say that I don't believe in destiny, cause' I know life is a matter of choice but honestly I have eaten my words cause' actually I have found my destiny.
I
was sitting on the oble square looking for some inspiration for my
next plate for Visual Perception subject on a cloudy Sunday
afternoon. I kept browsing my phone for music and some stuffs to kill
my boredom. There were people looking at me. They were pushing
each other. I did not mind them, I don't really like minding other
people's business . I was enjoying something until they finally draw
themselves towards me.
“Hi
ako diay si ate Kenny og kani sila si Honey og si Donna” the lady
said as they approached me. I was surprised but I did not show it. I
looked at them with my blank face, curious on what are they gonna'
say next. I shook hands with them and I introduced my self as a sign
of respect and hospitality. After a couple minutes of exchanging
backgrounds they introduced me to my destiny I mean to Destiny.
Destiny
was a life group where in the members share their experiences and
how they survive through it with the guidance of God. In Destiny life
group has its meaning. The L stands for “lessons”, the I stands
for “insights”, the F stands for “for” and E is for “every
one”. In other words life group means “Lessons and Insights for
everyone”. Destiny started among seven students who believed in
the University of the Philippines Diliman, later on it spread through
out UP Manila. Now Destiny's goal is to also spread it in UP Cebu.
After
they introduced to me what Destiny is I got interested. I gave them
my number and we formed a life group that will meet at 6 pm every
Saturday. I got this idea that maybe they were sent from God to help
me cure my lack of faithfulness. There are some parts in my mind that
tells me, maybe they're angels who came to help me. I always believe
that God has always a way on helping us.
Days
went by and it as already Saturday. I remembered about the Life Group
and so I went to the Oble Square. I don't like going alone so I
brought my friend ate Joy. We were both wearing our house garments
when we saw them. I was so touched on how Ate Kenny and ate Honey
welcomed us though we looked haggard with our clothes. They were
wearing their warm smile and their joyful aura. To be formal they
introduced their selves again. Ate Donna was not around at that
moment because she has to attend a wedding but she sent her friend
ate April with us , so we met another friend.
Since
then I enjoy being with them every week. I learned a lot from them
especially the relationship with God. I used to think that I know God
already, but then I was wrong. I realized how unfaithful I was
before. What the best thing that Destiny gave me is the improving
relationship between me and my family. I am not like the old Jannah
before who dislike the company of other people. Little by little my
relationship with other people is improving. Before waking up seems
to be a burden to me, but now I wake up with my faith that I can
survive everyday in my life. Every time my friend asks me “para
kanino ka gumigising?” I immediately answer that I wake up every
day for God.
I have
this relationship with God before but I think it was never enough.
Now I feel renewed and refresh with my life..
I
guess we really have our own sets of destiny then. Gods has His own
plan for us. According to Jeremiah 29:11; “For I know my plans for
you, plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you future
and a hope”. Let our Destiny be fulfilled according to Gods trail
of light. Let's seek our own destiny and purpose in this world. Right
now all I can say is that I found my destiny.
