Opportunity knock, I answer

Of late, I am reading the series of Left Behind.
I am still in the first of 12 books
My friend already completed 4… And I am barely passed 1/2 of the first book!

I lamented “Gosh…, am I a slow reader or is she a fast reader?”, “Is it because she has more transportation time and I have less?”, etc.
In the end, we both understood why.
I simply don’t like the style of reading.
I grew up reading from fairy tales to adventures to criminals.
And each book I read, I will visualize each scene. I will visually “build” the scene in my mind.
In this book, I find, it’s very dry.
When I thought that the place is supposed to be chaotic, the writer wrote such that it gives the impression that it’s not.
I am totally confused.

However, I will resolute to finish reading.
Despite being unable to visualize, I still find the story absolutely enchanting.
It speaks of the end times where people just simply disappear leaving their clothes behind.

Yesterday, I was given the opportunity at my working place.
My pharmacy manager and myself was talking about the number “666” and my colleague got curious about the end times.
My pharmacy manager left and I quickly got back to the topic of end times…
Spoke about the Tsunami and Hurricanes and slowly, I spoke about Christ.
I really tried not to look too excited in case she thinks I am very pushy.
She questioned a lot and it was great seeing her look of anticipation which each question she asked.
I was given the opportunity to share about the life of Christ.

I am praying that I will have more opportunities to share with her.
I am beginning to love this colleague a lot.
I believe that when I resign, I will miss her lots.
Sometimes, as I walk home, I will think of the jokes we make at work and will smile as I walk home.
It’s a fantastic relationship!
Hopefully, the relationship will deepen.
