how God led me to meet Him.

Before I met God, My own view of the world is that people were cruel, unlovable, unkind, only thinking about themselves day and night. and I thought about why am i supposed to live my life?. , Why do I have to suffer along with people? so many problems, that lead to more problems. I then lacked the will to live. my girlfriend dumped me for another guy, my friends always neglected me or they would ditch me, my family doesn't act like one, (to my own view), so i prayed so hard, that God would help me. help me find a way to be happy.

weeks after, one of my friends invited me to jam with them, and i thought, okay sure. i had no idea about where or what kind of a place was it. When I got in the building, there were many people singing and praising, and i thought, "its sunday today" so this must be a church of some sort. I'm not the type who leaves friends behind, so i stayed. I noticed there were many kids, and i asked someone, who owns that kid? then someone told me that the kid i was pointing at is an orphan. i had no idea that the kid was an orphan. i noticed they seem to be happy, so happy, i always thought orphans live hard lives cause the first thing that comes into my mind about an orphan is that they would be sad and broken without a parent. that time i was so shy cause i wasn't wearing the proper attire for sunday services. The people introduced their selves, with warm and friendly greetings. i was totally impressed and in awe.

after the service was done me and my friends got the chance to play some instruments. after that, they offered dinner, but i was too shy to eat. me and my friends talked to most of the youth, a lot of us talked about our personal lives and how they lived their lives with joy, so i enjoyed going there, then i asked if i could come back the next day. and they said "sure". the next day, me and two of my friends had a talk with the owner of the orphanage. She was always kind to us in talking, she made me realize that God was and will always be my answer, my leader, my father and my friend. no matter where i go, i couldn't forget how God's words pierced my heart with joy.

so many of my questions were answered. the orphanage not only showed me that people 'can' be happy in their lives, they showed me that all problems in life, has a solution... they showed me that there are good people, who are lovable, kind, and who think of other people rather than themselves. this place is my temporary, 2nd home, KMG (kahayag mission group). what was shocking to me in the turn of these events, is that, the church was just three houses across from my house. God had really surprised me. i was totally overjoyed. everything felt right, even with my family i learned to understand them. and they understood me..
