A day before Friday, I got another text saying the free premier movie was actually a scheduled block for JD's wedding proposal to her girlfriend Nikki (our friends). Reading the rest of message and all the "secret" briefing and specific instructions for the BIG NIGHT got me more exciteeed than ever! Yaayyy! (Super ok talaga toh, free movie, may proposal set-up paaa! galing!)
We heard this proposal was a product of months of collaborative efforts and planning of the couple's friends and of course the truly creative minds of the people behind VCF Davao (you know who you are..). Months of praying...for provisions and instructions from the Lord..and that perfect timing.
True enough, all the efforts, prayers, faithfulness and preparations paid off. Not only was the proposal a big success (we all got Nikki to say THE "YESSS"!!) , everyone had a super great time as well. What a way to end a weeek! Good jooob guys!! (wooooot!!)
This in fact, was my first time to witness one of the grandest gestures of LOVE in this lifetime. I am not even talking about the free red carpet movie tickets for almost a hundred family and friends. Not even the bouquet of lovely flowers, the party poppers, the paper airplanes, the yells, cheers and tears of joy, the engagement ring nor the perfectly crafted and conceptualized music video at end credits.
Last night, I did not only witness the kind and amount of love that my friends JD and Nikki had for each other, but most importantly I was moved at seeing how the LOVE of God has made such a beautiful story to occur. He is indeed the best author of love stories, one like no other- ever!!
I am overwhelmed and sincerely humbled for this wonderful experience-so I thank you Lord! I am pretty sure everyone felt the same way and went home smiling, super kilig and thankful for a great night that was.

Here's a line from: http://h3sean.com/relationship-surrender/
"God is the author, designer and maker of our lives. He is the author of love and romance. He created everything. I totally believe that the best love story you can ever have has to be written by God. I know mine was – the proof of a God-written love story is the impossibility of it apart from Him. A God-written love story must glorify Him and will reflect His mighty hand. It must bless other people in the sense that they realize it has to be God."
