I am supposed to meet my Korean friend for dinner. When we talked on the phone, we were trying to figure out a good place to meet. Since my mobile phone is not working in Korea, it should be somewhere familiar so I would not get lost. Then she said, "How about Myeongdong Cathedral?" I don't think she is Catholic, so I was delighted that she was the one who recommended.
I agreed although I don't exactly know how to get there. I have this idea of what route to take it so I have to give it a shot. On my way to the church, it's almost dark by then, I am supposed to take a right turn based on the usual route I know. But there's a voice in me that says, "No, just go straight ahead". I looked around and most of the crowd are turning right yet there I was crossing the street straight ahead as if I knew where I am going. As I walked further, there's fewer people and I am beginning to feel that it may not be the right path. Then there's a voice again, it says, " Look up!" When I looked up, I saw a big cross behind the tall buildings further across thw street. So I continued to walk towards it, although I still have doubts that it might be a different church after all. But as I come closer and closer, it all became clearer. It was indeed the church! The route I took was the shorter route. What could have taken me an hour on the usual longer route and busy streets, took me only 20 mins just by following 'the voice'.
I know it may sound like a simple case of following instincts, but I definitely learn something. In searching for the right direction, I just have to listen, obey, look up and follow the cross :)
