GODS POWER REALLY

WORKS!!!

I am actually just a flexible and easy going person. It seems

that some of my friends feel comfortable if they talk to me. Itsblessing for me indeed. When we never meet or chat before,

they easily share about their feeling. Even I never ask them talk

to me, but they talk to me and share about their problem right

away.

Like this one:

Yesterday during the break, I was enjoying my laptop. One of

my senior colleagues approached me and sat next to me. Lets

say her name is Alethea. I forgot how it began. What I

remember is she gave me a positive point that Gods power

really works if we let Him in. Alethea shared her loves story.

Here it is:

Alethea told her story about her relationship before she finally

got married with her husband. She always found a problem in

2

making relationship. She always failed. Even she failed to have

got married in a week. In Catholic Church, those who are goingto married must take a short marriage course and their

marriage is announced three times before the D-day. The

announcement at church had been already done three times.

Unfortunately, her fiance got an accident and died. Its so

tragic, I guess. However, something unpredictable happened toher after that. As wise people said there is a blessing behind a

problem. Thats what happened to her!

Alethea continued her life and joined any activities in Bandung.

Until one day when she joined a retreat (a Christian and

Catholic religious activity) in Sukabumi. On the last day, by the

time everybody prepared to go back to Bandung, all

participants went to the bus. At that time, Alethea was walking

alone to the bus. Suddenly, there was one of her male

colleagues (hes Andrew) who caught up with her from behind.

Andrew suddenly held and touched Aletheas arm. Of course, it

made her very shocked! Even, she never talked to Andrew

before. She was really surprised knowing there was a guy who

suddenly held her arm. Its so strange! They never talked each

other.

Do you know what happened next? They sat together in theback part seat of the bus during the way home, Andrew still

held Aletheas arm. Alethea didnt reject it. But, what made it

strange was they were sitting together, holding their hands but

remained silent. There was no word indeed during the journey.

How strange it was!!!

Furthermore, the strange moment didnt stop on that day. On

the next day, during working hour, Andrew and Alethea did

their activities as usual. They didnt talk each other as if there

had been no something happened before, even to say Hello or

Hi. They just kept silent. Of course, it made Alethea felt

uncomfortable, even more curious about what was really going

on between she and Andrew. Therefore, Alethea decided to do

9 days Novena to Mother Mary in order to get the answer of the

mysterious moment she was facing. Still in the same day, she

started her first day of Novena.

Alethea enjoyed her Novena days. Do you know what

happened in the ninth day? In the ninth day of Novena, Alethea

came home late after working. When she went downstairs,

Andrew, the strange man suddenly caught up her. As what he

did in Sukabumi, it happened unpredictably. Then, they walkedtogether and were involved in a small talk. The point of what

they were talking about was that Andrew asked if he could

come to Aletheas boarding house on that day. Without giving

any refusal, Alethea allowed him to come to her house.

What happened next?

At the boarding house, Andrew asked Alethea to be his wife.

He asked her to get married. Again, it made Alethea really

surprised! However, she didnt do anything except answered

yes right away. It means that she agreed to be his wife.

Actually Alethea was really astonished what was going on?

She never expected that it was the answer of mysterious days

she had before. Eventually, she got a final answer of her

curiosity so far. On the next day, Andrew really asked Alethea

when he could meet her parents and asked a permit to propose

her. A week after that, Aletheas father was sick and finally he

passed away. One wish of her father she had to get married in

the 40th day after his death. Of course, it made Aletheas days

became so busy in preparing her marriage, her flash marriage!

Finally, on the 40th day of her fathers death, she got married

with Andrew, a strange and mysterious guy that God had given

to her.

WELL. It is really Gods wish!!!!

Gods power really worked on them.

We cant never deny or reject what HE really wants to do

upon us.So, let it go by the flow.

Let God create whatever on us.
