Let God take the wheel. Just enjoy the ride

It is two weeks now... two weeks of living outside the walls of the seminary.

It is also one week now... a week since I have moved to my pad, a studio type apartment unit I was renting.

Apparently, I had a difficult time adjusting my schedule. Although the first days of school were orientation days, life outside is unstructured, and schedules are bound for change. From here, one of my best friends' saying is materialized: THE PLAN IS SPONTANEITY.

But sometimes, plans don't go as planned. Even the most spontaneous of all plans have glitches along the way, because we expect something. We stay under our safety blanket, and if things screw up, we get hurt.

What made me say stuff like this? Where's what happened today:

I woke up this morning by a text message from one of my friends, inviting me to attend Mass today, Saturday. I was sleepy, but one thing I don't know pushed me to dress up and go to church. Nevertheless, I felt that going to church was worth it. I thanked God for that friend who invited me to visit Him.

Some time later, I had a chance to bring my friend (Let's call him Kuya) to the apartment where I was staying. Incidentally, we met one of my best friends (Let's call her Mini). To cut the long story short, we had a conversation that humiliated me... and I didn't know what to do, except to go away from the company. I felt like I didn't want to bring Kuya along at all... I felt like I shouldn't have gone to church at all!

But I don't want to blame God for misfortunes. I believe that some time sooner or later, things will end up fine, if I have faith. As I was riding the bus going to Manila, I was praying the Rosary, asking Mary to help me pray to God, and God gave me an idea:

Let God take the wheel. Just enjoy the ride.
