The alarm clock rung at exactly five in the morning. It was Sabbath Day. I began my day thanking God for giving the opportunity to live again in this awesome world He created. I woke up this early because I know that commuting will be hard for there is a Sinulog Festival. I took a bath for about 30 minutes and ate my breakfast for only 5 minutes. My brother and I left our house at exactly six in the morning.
At first, we traveled smoothly like there is no celebration in the City. We arrived in the Hi-Way with less people but numerous jeepneys. We looked for a jeepney that would take us to Jones but there is none. The route going to Jones was closed because of the big celebration held that day. So, we rode in a jeep that would take us to Plaza Independencia instead.
There were lots of people out there. I can sense that we will have to walk from Sto. Niño to Urgelio since there was no sign of vehicles passing there. And so, we started walking. It was a big mistake for us in passing the road across the Sto. Niño Church. We didn’t know that a mass was held in there until we found ourselves stuck up in a crowd of people. I was so worried because I didn’t know where to pass in that crowded place. It’s been half an hour already that we’ve been searching for a path that would lead us away from that place.
I started to push myself forward, begging the people to let us pass. I felt that I am so disrespectful with regards to their religion. We kept on walking while they were praying. But we have to attend service in our church. We have to move fast so that we will not be late. Thank God we have reached the less crowded area. But there’s a problem! No one of us knows what part it is in Colon. We don’t know where to ride a jeepney that would take us to Urgelio.
At last! We have found a jeepney going to our church. I felt so relieved until the jeepney dropped us again on the E-mall because the road going to Urgelio was already closed. Again, we have to walk from E-mall to Urgelio. I am sweating over already until we found a jeepney that would take us to our church. I am relieved again and thankful to God with that.
We arrived at the church a half-hour late. But at least we arrived safely. God doesn’t allow such troubles to hinder us in worshipping Him. I learned so much from His word that day. Truly, He deserves to be worshipped. If you think that He was glorified with your doings, then continue it. As what I said before, He should be the one who will be glorified and not us. Let us worship and adore Him in everything that we do. God bless us always.
