Finding God...

We just finished training! It's fabulous! I'm going to start real work next week. Meeting new people is so cool. Making friends, learning new things, and earning money again. One month of being a bum makes you appreciate the things you took once for granted... 

Despite all the good things happening to me right now, I've also come to realize that it's hard to find God in the places I've spent the most time in: The work place and cyber space...

Finding God at work.
I'm a married man. I'm happy with my wife, but the a callcenter is not the most condusive place when it comes to faithfulness in marriage. In just a few weeks I've already met several women who doesn't believe in the sanctity of marriage. I've met several married guys having an affair other women, and a few ladies who doesn't care if a guy is married or not. I've been invited to drinking session several times (which I declined of course). It's a place where you're too good if you don't smoke.Where looks are everything and swearing and cursing are natural. I can't say I care much for the business of other people but it's tough to find God in the workplace. Especially when I have work on Friday nights and possibly in the coming weeks work on Saturday mornings. 
The only hope I can see is God is giving me an opportunity to save up money for me to invest and free myself from this financial prison of going to work and not having time for anything..

Finding God on the Internet
I've always had a hard time finding God in the internet. I've been making a career off the net for a few months now but because off the incredible amount of information online, so does the confusion and the diversion. There is so much that can take your mind off God. Facebook, Youtube, E-mail, blogs... but on the other hand , I realized how convenient learning about God has become. If making a relationship online got easier, why can't you make a relationship with God online, right? Hmm...
"Only when you seek will you be able to find.."
I tried seeking then. And I found that there are numbers of ministries uploading inspirational video online. Countless number of blogs sharing their inspiration and preaching God's message. It's amazing! 

Finding God Everywhere
It's been said that God is everywhere. This characteristic of God is called omnipresence. Sometimes I feel that    God can't be found in some places like Bars, prison, or parties, but I was surprised that my most unforgettable experience in sharing what I know about the Bible is during a birthday party, in one of the most popular bars in metro manila. It was amazing.. At that time I realized you can share the gospel anywhere, even in the most unexpected of places..
