Unsure Footing

Dan Torres is from Bicol who was so afraid and cautious because of his illegal immigration (TNT) status in America. His friend assured him that it is alright and encouraged him to go around using his car, and to do shopping a the same time. His added instruction was to phone him in the office if problem will arise.

At the shopping mall, he got nervous when the cashier asked him if he has a "Visa Credit Card" or "Master Card" for he thought he was asked for his visa. Hastily, he stepped out of the mall and dropped by at the gas station. The guy asked him to "pay first" and he thought that the guy was asking for his papers. So afraid, he ran, and finding a pay phone called for his friend. Raising the phone, he got scared when he heard "AT & T can I help you" for he thought he was already known as TNT. Out of the phone booth, a man stands there and he was asked, 'Are you done?" Dan was already perspiring for he thought the man knew his name. The guy, noticing his state, encouraged him, "Hey, be cool, man, are you a tourist?" Finally, Dan fainted in fear because he thought the guy even knew his surname (Torres) and that his was from Bicol.

CHALLENGE
It is a grace to walk on foreign land/s. Many are longing for it but the opportunity is lacking. But the challenge is - what kind of foot prints do we leave behind?

WALK WITH THE LORD

Lord Jesus, whenever I walk and/or stay in foreign land/s protect me from all dangers and anxieties. Secure me in the knowledge that you are always with me, and that I am 'being sent' for some purpose. Amen.

WALK WITH THE WORD
"Place all your worries on him since he takes care of you." (1 Peter 5:7)
