Chapter 9 - | Morning

I woke up in a room. On a bed. With the sunlight going through the window. Am I able to get home last night? Wait, the room seems familiar… Well, of course it's familiar! It's my bedroom! Not the right question. Of course I was, I'm on my bed right now. HOW was I able to get home last night?


"Maria! A friend of yours is at the door!" shouted Mom. I quickly grabbed my phone on my bedside table to see what time it is right now. 8:00 AM. Who could it be? Hazel and Elle haven't even woken up this early knowing that our classes start in the afternoon.


I quickly got up from my bed and ran towards the top of our stairs and saw Mom waiting at the bottom. "Who is it?" I asked while looking at her. "He said his name is Yeshua." and what happened last night came rushing in my mind. I can still hear the thunder roaring…


"Let Him in, please. Thanks, Mom!" I ran back to my room as fast as I could and searched for more appropriate clothing. I am wearing a tank top and shorts! I can't face the Son of God looking like this! Oh, my—goodness! God is real! God is real! I am wrong! My answer is wrong! There is a God! And the Son of God is in our house!


I finally found an oversized t-shirt and jogging pants, wore them, and looked at myself in the mirror. Oh my goodness, is what I'm wearing really okay to face Yeshua? "As long as you believe that He is the Son of God, whatever you're wearing is okay to face Him." I nodded while looking at myself. Wait! Who said that?! I'm pretty sure it wasn't myself! I hope it's not one of those who possessed me! Oh, nevermind that! I should not make Him wait! I quickly ran out of my bedroom, down the stairs and saw Yeshua sitting on the couch in our living room.


No words escaped my mouth. My breathing is heavy right now due to running around the house and I am looking at Him. Yeshua. He quickly looked at my direction, smiled, and waved at me. I smiled back. Home.


Yeshua looked away from me and I followed where He looked. He's now looking at my Mom. "Can I ask for your permission to allow Maria to come with me?" Yeshua asked my Mom as I was now walking towards the living room from the bottom of the stairs. "Yeah, sure. Just make sure that you bring Maria home later. She has a class in the afternoon." answered Mom to Yeshua with a smile. Yeshua smiled back at her then looked at me who is now standing beside Him.


"Come! I have so much to tell you!" said Yeshua excitedly as He stood up from the couch and looked at my Mom again. "Thank you so much for your hospitality. Our Abba shall bless your household." thanked Yeshua to my Mom with a smile. Mom smiled back at Him with a hint of confusion in her face. Yeshua looked at me again, held my hand, then excitedly pulled me out of the house. Even though I'm not able to see my Mom's face, I'm sure that she's already having these thoughts forming in her mind that Yeshua is interested in me.


"Did You just bless us and our house?" I asked Yeshua after He let go of my hand and took His bicycle that's laying down beside mine at the garage. Yeshua chuckled as I took my bicycle as well. "Yes, I did." He answered then hopped onto His bicycle. I also hopped onto mine then He began biking away from our house. No questions asked. I simply followed Him with a smile on my face.
