I was tagged by Mitch. It’s about answering this question: “What was I thinking when I first met my current partner?”. Whew! I knew this would really take some time to recall and sure looks like a long posts…so I had to sit down and reminisced…
... as far as I can remember…. :D
I first met jerry in a church’s youth activity. I didn’t know why he’s there. I just thought that he was invited by the head pastor. I barely know him. All I know is that he was from Zamboanga, helping out another church and just visits Manila when needed. But he became the highlight of the event that day when the youth group suddenly did a mock wedding. He was pulled to be the groom…and of course the bride was one of the young ladies of that church who happen to have a great crush on him (it was really obvious!). Of course we were there, my family was there too. We just laughed and joined the fun. I could sense that he was really uncomfortable but for the spirit of sportsmanship, he took part.
I couldn’t understand why, but there’s something in me saying that he’s going to play a big part in my life…I don’t have any idea, and I careless cause I’m busy fixing my life. (My relationship then with my boyfriend was really on the rocks. It was really unhealthy yet I feel like I didn’t have a choice but simply lived the life). On our way home, my mom and my sister told me that they felt something strange too. The same feeling I felt.
Months later, I saw the same person in our church, being introduced by our senior pastor… giving him the position of youth pastor. I was one of the youth leaders then so I know we’ll worked together. We simply get along. He was so accommodating, kind and really smart. My sister, our youth president, became one of his good friends. They clicked together. That started the friendship between him and my family. They like him so much.
Finally, a time came when I became fed up with my relationship. I was really hurting and all I can do is asked counsel. He came. He became my confidante, my councilor. The only person who made me realized that I still have choices. He was the one who guided me right back to my direction. He thought me how to make radical decisions. We became very good friends.
To cut the loooooooong story short, I closed the messy chapter of my life to open a new. This time making my life right before God, with Jerry’s help. He started giving signs of admiration and I yielded. I accepted him, loved him…and loving him still, until now.

I just realized, maybe God allowed us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for the gift. He was the best God given gift for me.
I don't know who else to tag, so just feel free to answer the same question and post it on your blogs ;)
