Siblings in Christ

April 29/30, 2022

This was supposed to be published last night but circumstances occur. Or I can say that the moment I arrived my son never let me open my laptop or even open my laptop for an hour since he wants to chat before we go to bed. I arrived late yesterday because of the heavy traffic which I don't know what's the cause for. My son wasn't grumpy at first but he started crying when I ask permission to have a spare hour to work and write an article. He kept on crying so I decided to skip yesterday and just thought of making two articles for today.

I first read this prompt from Pitch and found the link from Prof @meitanteikudo and if you want to also try this you can check this link.

Friendship sometimes happens in an unexpected way that you can't predict, sometimes it's a matter of finding yourself that you find comfort in friends instead.

Way back when I first started working I was never fond of making friends for I always thought that they don't want to have a friend an introverted person like me. And it works fine for me for I don't want complications and I don't want to please someone just so I can have a company. After a week, many people kept on approaching, especially during orientation, and I have to abide by getting to know them since that is also one of the reasons why orientations were made, for you to know who your colleagues are. I met a few but after a month they started going their own way for they can't and will never understand how to deal with people like me which I understand the most.

Then I met them...

So with these, I am confident I can answer these questions in the prompt and I hope I gave justice to the answers.

• When, where, and how did you guys meet?

We met in a catholic community, I was introduced as a newbie and under the guidance of a new facilitator then I met these awesome people who I share the same hobbies with. Gia, who became my BFF is the opposite of me and we sometimes clash but after an hour or so, we started talking nonstop like we've known each other for years already.

• What was your first impression of each of them?

Noisy, lol!!!!

Well, they kept on asking me about life and how I was before I joined the community and they're sometimes loid especially some of the girls. But they're really friendly and accomodating and they also try to copy me being silent but they just can't do it for they can't skip talking except during prayer meetings lol!!

• Did you think that you could be friends?

Nope. At first I thought I can't last people like them but as I get to know them better I felt like I can live by their way of communicating and the bond we made is unconditionally awesome.

• what's the most memorable moment you had with them? Or each of them.

I had a lot of each of them but with the members or all of them I can say these one outreach program is the most memorable one. This was my first outreach with the community. I joined outreach activities before but not like the one I experienced with them. They really applied thr word God and Hos behavior and I can see how solemn amd dedicated each one of them in ministering the people from the outskirts of the urban areas.

• what do you think is the thing that made you bond?

Eating. After gatherings, seminars and programs we servants always had these get together and eat out.

• how would you describe each of them as a person and as a friend?

They're awesome. Each one of them have diffent personalites and they're easy to interact with. Whenever they feel that a person needs encouragement and guidance they always led a helping hand and a shoulder to share with.

• if you could do life over and choose your friends, will you choose them again?

• Yea I will still chose them over and over. They made me smile through the hardship life gaved me. I can still be glad with having difficulties for I know I can always lean on them. Knowing them was one of the most thing I love in my life.

This might be a little earlier but I kinda want to bond with them but I can't find time to.😭

Thank you for reading.

Be blessed and be a blessing!
