Believing In It

I was an atheist. I was. Until i met the girl that kept me from from this site for a long time. I used to think that God is some figment of imagination, something made up to keep people in line when civilization was young. I used to believe that whatever we are today was due to what we did in our life. I used to be taunting God to show himself up and show how wrong I am. Apparently He was just too busy back then and let me bask in my foolish glory of winning arguments whenever the subject of God's existence came up. Amused as He is as I went on a life of an atheist, He thought the time's right to show me how wrong I am. It was the day of my thesis defense. God knows how important my PC was for this. And how convenient that my PC broke down that day. The CPU burned out and it was a catastrophe. So I said "If You're really up there and You do exist, then show me by giving me a few bucks to spare and help me buy a new PC!" Of course i didn't expect that to be fulfilled but heck i was desperate. Imagine then my reaction, 20 minutes after that, when my former boss called me. And when i asked if he could help me with my problem... On that same day my boss told me to go to his office, get the cash that i need and buy a new PC. Was I contented? Hell no. Coincidence, it's just a coincidence. My friend taunted me then and told me to ask for more. So I asked that I meet some girl that I can ask for a date. That would be a longshot, me being somebody who never had a girlfriend and who had never had a date before. The funny thing was, some girl just buzzed me a few days after in my yahoo messenger. She told me she would like to ask my help for her thesis project. A few weeks later, we had our first date. "He's gaining some respect from me, alright", i told myself. I just can't believe what's happening, but after all I did, here He is keeping me happy. So there's no harm in believing i always say. One day i found myself praying for Him for someone to love me. Pray. It's been a long time since i did that. It turned out that the girl He gave me before will finally say yes to me. And for the first time, I have a girlfriend - no, I have someone who loved me back, who loved me for who I am. And I found myself in awe. That big guy up there need not to prove Himself anymore. And never will I ever doubt His existence again. :)

I sure will be counting on Him from now on. He really has His queer ways of helping a lost sheep find his way back to the herd..
