Conversations with God (Book 1 of With God Trilogy)

February 21, 2018

Today, Mr. Kelly brought me burgers and pancakes for breakfast. I miss the homecooked breakfast mom used to make. But I still appreciates the effort of Mr. Kelly.

"Janice, I have to be in work today so if you don't mind, I think you can do all the errands by yourself. I'll go before you in a bit." He said hurriedly.

"Uhm, won't you help me search dad today?" I asked.

"I'm sorry I can't. It's my shift today. Maybe tomorrow." He said putting his shoes.

"What's your schedule?" I asked before he left the door.

"Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I'm sorry." He said starting the car.

Okay so I'm here left alone. What should I do? Wait a minute. The house is so dusty. Maybe I could clean them all up before I go out and find my dad.

I cleaned the floor, arranged the sofa, washed the dishes and fixed everything that I could fix. After an hour of doing all these, I sat on the couch tirelessly. Okay, what should I do now? I saw the Bible beside me, maybe Mr. Kelly read a chapter a while ago.

I miss talking to God. I miss Him talking to me as well. All I got is these twenty dollars in my pocket. I looked at the Bible and flipped over some pages. I believe God placed it beside me to read it.

While reading the Bible, in the book of Luke specifically, I am starting to feel light. Back when I was in my headphones, I feel this but now without it, how could I feel it still?

"Go out."

That voice creeped me out. Is there a ghost in here?

I heard it again, "Go out."

Okay I will. I will go out.

So, a while ago, I went out and saw two boys selling lemonade. I could not understand what they are saying but from what I see they have a box tied to their neck with cups and a small pitcher. I don't think I could buy. I only have twenty dollars for myself but something inside me wanted to give. So I gave them four dollars in exchange of two cups. They smiled and said thank you. I was so delighted at them. At their age, I think eight or nine years old, they thought of selling lemonades. After I saw their smiles, from my heart, I gave an extra dollar. The boys were so grateful that they hugged me. One of them handed me a card that read, "Thank you for buying and supporting the cause for helping visually impaired people. God bless you!"

That melted my heart. So, these boys are not just doing this for themselves but doing these for a cause. At that moment, I knew that that five dollars gone was worth it. Thank you Lord for making me realize a good lesson. Thank you for calling me.

I was watching my favorite comedy show when Mr. Kelly picked up the phone then I realized he got home already.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Someone I don't know." he said.

"Strange. What did he or she say?" I said.

"Hello, is this the pizza parlor?" he asked.

I laughed. What? He's crazy. Is he serious? I should have my own comedy show and he could be the comedian. He laughs too.

But I still can't get the thought if maybe it's mom. I hope and hope not.
