Tobias was streaming a new album of his favorite artist. He liked a lot of the songs that pulled up and so he wanted to download them all so he could listen to them offline. He noticed that he didn't have enough storage space, he wanted to delete some stuff he had on his phone. When he opened his storage app, he got to the pictures. Took some out. He got to his music folder. Took some out. He got to his video folder. Took some out. Then he hesitated for a while when he noticed a video he had of his Uncle sharing a message at his home. He did it when the government wanted churches to host their programs online. He played it. Just to remember what how his Uncle sounded like again.
It was this message he had that he was ministering to people about what their purpose is in life and what they must do to find it. The video was an hour-long so he didn't feel like playing the full video. He just skipped to some random part and started playing it from there.
"…when I mention purpose then everyone thinks about their dream job or their dream relationship with everyone from who they love… the purpose of your life doesn't come from you, it comes from the person who created you. Because He is the only one who knows what you must do on earth. How do I know this? He mentioned this right from the beginning. When you head over to Genesis 1: 28, it says God blessed them and said… Be fruitful, multiply, replenish, subdue it and have dominion over it. Have you seen the five keywords? This is our purpose. And God has mentioned them to us here. See…If there is anything you do in this world and these five keywords are not in it, then it's not the purpose God has promised you to have. I hope I am speaking to someone there!…Ever since the imaginations came along, people have been running helter-skelter and chasing their dreams and desires because they can just imagine it. If you know what you are capable of, you would not be there wasting your time being distracted by what you have been called for. Oh, and quickly notice the time that God told Adam about it. Did you notice? It wasn't after they had eaten the forbidden fruit. It was before. Meaning they still had the spiritual oneness with the Father. They still had that wonderful connection with Him. See, there are three things that remain constant throughout our lives. Birth…the WORD… and Death. Apart from that…everything else can change. Brethren so the first step in knowing your purpose is not just talking to God because nowadays everyone can do that…establishing a relationship with the Father is what is the milestone. And how do you start that journey? It starts by being a Son of the Father…by being a born-again. That way, your connection with Him is now that of like a Father… He would see you as his son or daughter… and you would love Him even the more for the destiny He has upon your lives…"
"Yo Tobias. We're almost there man."
He paused the video and attended to Noble.
"Yeah…yeah sure. Thanks."
Tobias has probably seen the video about three times already, but he was young at that time. Now that he's older, he now really understands what he needs to do to get to know the next step of his journey. He took the video out from the full screen. Held on it and a notification bar came. He selected the Recycle Bin. "Do you wish to delete this?"…. Hesitated for a while, but he knew already what to do. And then…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She pressed the Yes option to delete the file. Wu has just stored so many documents that she probably has finished reading or not even touched. She deleted the useless ones on her phone so she could get some space. She had an app that can keep large storage. Like 540 GB of it, so she could download as many files as she wants.
"So uhm…it's been a while" Fu said.
"Yep" Wu responded.
The two were on their way. Fu was using her company car. Many people think it's a taxi or something because the color design is black and yellow.
They had this wonderful relationship together when they were kids. They would do all sorts of daring and fun stuff just to spend a lot of time together. But then…Fu was having this dilemma with Dad and…her fun self was slowly dying away…and when the family heard about Tobias' Uncle, then her fun side just completely vanished. Everything just changed. It was all work, work, and more work. There was no family bond time. Just work! The time that they are only together… is when everybody sits at dinner…talking about… yep you guessed it…WORK! So yeah, it's really been a while since they have spoken in person.
But then is it Wu's fault that all she talks about is herself, work, and celebrities' lifestyles?
Wu was just listening to her songs...while Fu was tuning in for the latest news.
"Heard from Mum and Dad?"
"Yep. They're going to the BNB Lab."
"Oh, I see."
"Some explosion happened over there."
"Oh… that's crazy"
"And the police think Mum and Dad did it."
"No way. I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding."
"That's what I told them."
"Yeah. They would…find out who did it."
"Yep."
"Hold up…did you know Trevor is like dating a new girl…I can't believe he broke up with…"
Then there was a sudden vibration both of them felt. The cars were stopping on the road because of that. Then it went away. And it came back suddenly. People got off their vehicles to see what was going on but the two stayed inside the car.
"What was that?" Fu asked as the both of them were looking out the window checking where it was coming from.
"Look!" Someone shouted from outside and pointed his fingers up the sky, and everyone saw it.
A plane just flew over them, looking out of control with civilians inside being mind-controlled by one of the corrupted imaginations. There were actually two superheroes after it. One was trying to use her abilities to land the plane safely whiles the other was stopping the guy, who was on the plane from firing lasers and hurting anyone. One of the superheroes used some kind of gravitational ability to lift the plane up high so it does not hurt anyone or destroy any of the buildings.
The other could fly to get to the laser guy, but he saw in the streets, the crowd were standing there in shock and he immediately flew down to speak to them.
"Hello swell citizens…uhm…I…we can ensure you that everything is fine. No need to pa…"
A laser hit a building out of nowhere and it almost crashed and hit innocent people, but there was no one there...luckily no one got hurt.
"Uhm…see…everything's fine…" Then he flew away just so he doesn't make it worse.
The sisters just drove away like nothing ever happened.
And there was silence for a while.
"So...Freshman year?"
"Yep"
"I remember when I was in freshman… I was with my girls at that time and the place was so open with new and different places anyone could…"
Yeah…Wu was not ready to hear that. She has told her this story before but she wouldn't remember. She increased the volume from her phone so she could block out what she was saying. She was going to talk throughout the trip…
