It was a rainy afternoon.  I didn’t bring my umbrella - first because it’s going to make my bag bulky, and;  second, I just feel lazy transferring it from my other bag.  I know, it’s rather stupid but I just don’t like umbrellas that much.  So, the day went on and it’s time to go home.  It’s still early so I still have time to drop by Padre Pio’s chapel.  It was drizzling and I was actually having second thoughts about going there - since I do not have an umbrella.  Still, I found myself inside the chapel.  A bit scared that the drizzling might turn to heavy rain once I’m done with my prayer, I prayed that the rain won’t start until I’m home and that I will be able to get a cab soon.  In spite of this, my turned to a rather hasty prayer.  I normally stay at the chapel long after I’m done praying but on that day, because of my fear of getting wet, I went out immediately after.  I rushed out of the chapel and was relieved that it’s not raining yet.  Then I walked out of the chapel compound.  On my way out, a taxi was entering the compound.  It didn’t take long for the taxi to come out again after dropping off it’s passengers in front of the chapel.  I know how hard it is to get a cab on rainy days.  A lot of people are riding the taxi aside from the fact the most taxis get trapped in the midst of heavy traffic.  Even if I get one, some won’t be willing to go to Cubao where I live coz the place is known for heavy traffic.  Yet, the cab driver was okay driving me home.

It may be a rather trivial thing for some.  But for me, it is one proof that God answers our prayers - no matter how trivial it may seem.
