My Valentine

Valentine comes,single people worries.

This is the common scenario every time Heart's Day arrives. Have you felt the feeling of craving to be in someone's arms? Or the feeling to love and be loved?

I am still single. I can't hide the fact that I felt the same feeling. I was a bit jealous because a lot of people have their girlfriend/boyfriend to celebrate Valentine's with them. I know that I don't have to rush because God has His own time. To be able to fight this feeling, I prayed to God ,"Jesus, if You really are my boyfriend during my youth, make me feel loved just as what I wanted to feel. Prove to me that You are there and You really treat me as Your girlfriend." 

The month of February comes - the color red is now in fashion, chocolates and sweets are in demand, images of cupid are posted on walls, and hearts are spread all over the world. And now what? What do i do?! Instead of panicking, I prayed again. After I prayed, someone knocked on our door and gave me a Goya dark chocolate bar. What an instant answer from God! On the next day, someone gave me McDonald's Oreo hot fudge sundae and on the next day, a friend of mine bought Cornetto's coffee caramel ice cream. I didn't ask them to give me these things. This is only during the first week of February.

On the second week,my co-dancer gave me another ice cream of Cornetto. Then, I received a Kitkat bar from my classmate. Next, is a Snickers chocolate bar from my church mate. The first two weeks are full of sweets. Jesus did it for me just as a guy would do to her girl. For me, this is enough proof that God really loves me. But there's more....

On the third week, Monday to be exact, is the Valentine's day. I was waiting for God's gift for me that day and surprisingly, my dad arrived with lots of seafood with him. He brought home about 2 kilos of crab, shrimp, oyster, and fish. What a good dinner for heart's day! On the next day, I was able to buy everything I need for myself and after that, my church mates and I had dinner in a restaurant named Chic-boy. It's another blessing from God to spend time with my friends in a cool dinner. What amazed me more is when I received a Nokia 2730 from my aunt in Australia. Just right in time when I needed a new cellphone. I didn't ask for the phone, it just came! What an overwhelming week.

Then the last week of Love month comes. I wonder what God will give to me this week. This is also our finals week in school so I was hoping that God would give me something that will help me in my studies. After a few days I was invited in my classmate's 18th birthday, so I thought to myself that I will be the one to give a gift this week rather than to receive a gift, but it doesn't matter. On the day of my classmate's birthday is also the day that I received the most special gift God gave me this entire month. I was able to win new set of friends that made me really happy that night. In that short time, we already spent moments of laughter and enjoyed each other's companion. It's something money can't buy.

How sweet Jesus is as a boyfriend and how amazing it is to know that He really cares for me. He did not just gave a gift for Valentine's day but He also provided gifts for the whole Love month. My prayer was answered indeed!
