Bus is Not On Schedule

Since the start of this pandemic our company has been providing us bus services to help us with the transportation safety issue. 

The bus usually arrives 5:05am at the stop. But last Monday I left house at 4:59am, I was rushing and catching my breath as I chased a trike. The trike ride to the stop usually takes 5-8 minutes. I was praying but worry is taking over. Upon nearing the stop, I saw a bus that looks like our service passed by already, it was far by the time I reached the stop.

Disappointment came over me. I jump out the trike, gave my fare and started walking. From haste, my movement turned slow. At this early hour I felt tired already. I was about to book a Grab car, but there is something in me that makes me want to wait more. And yes, it's too early so there's no harm done if I'll stay up until 5:15am. I know this may sound silly but this is one of those times wherein circumstances are hitting me with senses and reality but instead I'm choosing something illogical like hope. 

It is like, I know it's already done but there must be more, a miracle. 

Then a few minutes later, I was surprised to see that there it is, our shuttle bus; arriving, not by my schedule but by its own time. Meaning the one I saw first was not exactly I thought it was. 

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1

In life, not every thing is on our schedule and not all answers come in the same wrap. I was so used to the bus schedule that I thought I was late. Same goes with our spiritual life; there are times that we got used to how or when God will answer our prayers, that we sometimes dismissed the fact that every blessing is unique, and God is creative. He might not answer it right away and by the way we expect it to be, but that doesn't mean that He is not answering, sometimes we just need to have faith in Him. He got us, and He provides in His time. Waiting is an adventure and faith is our armor. 

God is for us as long as we never get tired of making effort to continue to breathe and praise Him. Stay strong and safe.
