A long journey begins with a single step

I asked for a time off at work and took a flight back to the Philipines. Got a cheap flight to HongKong. Landed at 10:30pm and slept at the airport for 13 hours enroute to Manila. I missed my connecting flight from Manila to Boracay and had to wait for 1.5 hours for the next flight. I struck a conversation with a young man from sweden. He told me that he is depressed and suicidal. His family told him to come visit his friend in HongKong and get a little break.His friend however was busy and told him to come back in couple of days and visit Boracay island in the meanwhile. Here he is at the airport stuck with me. We also happened to sit beside each other in the plane. We chatted about life and about GOD.

We got off the plane and boarded the pumpboat to Boracay. By the time we reached the Tambisaan Beach, he gave his life to the LORD. He then smilingly said to me " how wonderful would it be to run away from your problems and ended up meeting GOD in some exotic destination". This was my first day in Boracay. An unexpected experience, a relief from an already very long and very tiring trip.
