Praise Lord/Honest is the best policy:
In this morning, the exit of the Steven Greeks Blvd of the High Way 84 was closed all of sudden closed, and we could not get through. Thus, we had to go out next exit. Unluckily, everyone had the same goal to get out of the High Way next exit, so that the traffic was suck in the long line. Joyce was really mad at the situation because her first class was 8:30pm but the time on the clock was 9:00am. The emotion was lunched out in the air. I comforted her heart, and prayed for her loudly to God when we were sluggish moving in the line. I told her, “God will comfort you heart. Everything will be fine because it is not our fault. God will let it go. Do not worry about it. Please do not be mad. Later, tell teacher the truth. These things always happen.” She calmed down a little bit and kept driving.
It was time about 9:15 am when I went with her waiting the class outside. She told , “I do not want to go inside. The teacher is tough and critical mind. Her temper is not good. She treats student not kindness but with emotion. I miss presentation”, with unfair mood to me.
“Joyce, honest is the best policy. Thing is not your fault. Besides, I can go with you after class off, I will go with you to tell the teacher immediately. I just prayed and trust in Him. God is listening. Be patient. I believe in Him. I encourage you to tell teacher the situation.” I told her with affirmation.
For a while, all of the students came out the class. We went inside.
“Sorry, Steven Creeks Blvd…and traffic jam..” Joyce told her instructor, old, white woman. Her instructor said loudly, “What do you want me to do?”
“I am her roommate. I can prove it. This is the truth. I am late in class too.” I said her. She looked at me –(I am not her student). Sooner, the smiling was on her face. “OK!” she said. I responded to her, “Thank you for forgiveness with your mercy.”
We went out of the class. One of Joyce’s classmates said, “It is amazing! The smiling was on her face.” I did not know why they said so. But the teacher showed up behind us. She was attempted to say something or complained about Joyce in front us.
(I can tell she teacher does not like people to cheat her I feel.)
Quickly, I described how Joyce mad was as we unluckily happened the road fixed and traffic jam. Besides, the emotion made Joyce upset to miss your class. However, we prayed for our situation to God. Also, we determinedly told you the truth because “Honest is the best policy.”
She did not blame us and kept smiling after I explained her the whole situation.
Joyce’ classmate was surprised with the instructor’s attitude saying, “Why the smiling was on her face. Normally, she is so serious and likes to judges in many things…”
I did not know but I turned to Joyce, “Thanks God! Not me!” Next, she took me having the rich of breakfast in Marina supermarket. She also prayed for thanks to God.
Because of helping her, she told me, "Can we still keep in touch when you get back Taiwan and I miss you. Please take care of yourself" in the car while we were going to have breakfast.
"Please thanks God not me. Remember we just prayed and God really responded to us immediately. I urge you to acomplish your "salvation" duing summer vaction. No push! I sincerely hope you can earn Holy Spirt from God truly. You are smart and intellgence girl I have never seen. May God bless you!" I replied to her with my heart during a picece of "treasure timing."
Indeed, trust in Him. “Honest is the best policy!”
Have a plenty morning!
Glorify Him.
What I earned is from this morning?
1. Insist on my faith. (I will say it again, rejoyce! Romans)
2. Sacrifice my time being with her. (Nobody seeks his own good but good of others 1. Corithanis)
