Chapter 1: Love at first sight? Is it?

Chapter 1: Love at First Sight? Is it?

Such a great Sunday for each and every one of us, it is a day to celebrate that I am officially a nurse already. That I, Mary Joy Vista, will be having a title in my name! With the big family, I am an only daughter of four children, the second child, in other terms, I am their little princess, the daddy's little girl to be specific. We have a family company which is in service type of business specifically trucking business and owns currently about 50 trucks already mostly having a 6 wheeler closed van than the forward and wing vans, I am a graduate of nursing in well-known international school around the country. My family has been well known to both their home province that once we go out, they knew we are the children.

My father side grew up in Pangasinan where the famous puto, milkfish, unripe mangoes and of course alamang or shrimp paste, the tourist vacation there is the "100 Islands" which is only an hour drive from my father's house.

My mother side, grew up in Nueva Ecija where it is called "The Rice Granary of the Philippines" and also famous for onions and the Pantabangan Dam.

Going back to the family and to the great day, my family are already prepared and so am I. I was wearing a red blouse paired up with a skirt and with accessories of red bracelet and red earrings. My hair is already dried up that it won't go fly away because my hair was just been recently cut from 3 inches before waistline to bob cut. I am fair in colour, fair enough to say that I am a Filipina.

Mary Joy Vista, RN

WOW! Just last year God showed me this vision of seeing my name with the title, RN, Registered Nurse. It happened during the time last year that while we were in the church praying and once I did received that I already claimed this prophetic vision that it will happen soon. Oh how I already glorified God about that vision!

Two days ago we sent a message that we will be attending church to our family friends' church; it was for a reason that we have to obey indeed. Of course once they find out that I passed the local boards they told us that there will be a double celebration and that we are to wear red. It’s been a while since we last went there.

 What is it in this Sunday that made this special anyway?

 What's with the red that we have to wear it?!

 Double celebration? What kind of celebration anyway?

Anyway we did attend and the church was glad to see us after some time.

We came just in time it was about to start and we were surprised to see that 90% of the people who were there are wearing red.

It was way different than the year when we left the church that time the church was still a baby since it was still new, now a lot of people we already don't know, it was fast growing and we see that the movement of the Lord was indeed alive.

 We started singing songs of joy, of worship, of praise all for the Lord. Then afterwards we prayed, and felt the move of the Holy Spirit moving. 

The pastor stood up and then with his crutches and prepared for the Word of God. By the way our pastor has a physical disability, yet he doesn't mind because all he wanted is just to draw closer to God and nothing else.

We were all listening to the word and afterwards the preaching was done, they called me, my family and Misty, the pastor prayed for us, for me, as a newly board passer, and Misty, for her birthday, gave us a big human size gift and there we celebrated.

 During celebration, I was just looking around and eating with my family, talking to some friends I knew before. While looking at the people around me I was just laughing around to those friends whom I miss talking to. Though I don't really have a close friend there since my age was in the middle of a transition stage from youth to young professional. I don't know where to join since I am old to be called one of the youth and still too young and amateur for the young professionals. So I just try to mingle around and laughing around talking to my friends.

 There I saw a guy wearing red just seriously staring blankly somewhere and when he smiled

 It caught my eyes

 He was wearing this red polo shirt and just wearing simple jeans and rubber shoes walking around and sat down with some of the friends whom I knew. He was about 5"9 of height which is definitely tall for me since I'm only 5"0 flat of height.

 I couldn't really go near to him.

It was the first time that I saw him.

My heart started to beat fast and I just smiled but looked innocently at him.

I don't think he noticed me but I know something strike in my heart that there is something different about him.

I never intended to see him actually.

What is it with him that caught my eyes and caught my heart anyway?

I just kept it in my heart and kept silent, maybe it's just a simple attraction in my heart

Who is this guy by the way?

I want to know who he is.

 What is this feeling inside of me?

 I cannot really say?

My heart and my mind are in a bit of confusion?

 All I can say is that, I want to know him more, for he has caught my attention in a unique way.
