My Taho Love Story

That night, Taho became Jesus’ love language…

As you know, life isn’t about rainbows and butterflies; rather, of challenges that remind us we’re meant to carry our own Crosses for the benefit of our souls…

I don’t like it 🫤 I don’t like hardships and events that shake up my world 🫤

I’m sure you can relate and yet, there’s no escaping it…

But I guess God’s mercy in all of this is how much our hearts call for Him in difficult times ❤️‍🔥

Last Friday, I needed to go to Adoration.
I needed Jesus.
Imagining the beautiful monstrance at the altar, the smell of incense, and cold AC, my goodness! I felt it was the only antidote to appease my heart 😭

Thankfully, my boyfriend will never deny such a request! Before we went out for dinner, we took a pitstop at the Adoration Chapel of Mary the Queen Parish — my fave! 🥹

One problem: I was so hungry 😭😂
I was too busy working and didn’t have time to eat merienda before I had to be picked up. If you know me, you’d understand my fear of hyperacidity 😂

I was silently hoping there’d be taho around the area like there usually is 🙏🏼 Though I figured it was impossible because the school in front of the church is already on summer vacay 💔

We drove up the street and around the corner,
no taho! 😭 “What a silly request”, I told myself,
“one more hour hungry wouldn’t hurt” 😂

We went down the car, I looked at the direction I was supposed to walk, and THERE HE WAS! On the other side of the perimeter, MANONG TAHO! 😭

I walked so fast for fear he was gonna leave because Mass had already ended! I got a cupful, thanked him, and thanked Jesus 😭

Manong Taho left right after I bought from him like he only came for me…or did he 🤔😌

Oh the ways Jesus pursues my heart! 🥹😌
“You’re real! Totoo Ka nga!” 😂

✨ These ‘little things’ allow me to believe in the ‘greater things’ — that Jesus is who He says He is; He listens to every prayer and provides for every need. I hold onto this Taho Story as proof of Divine Providence meant to fuel me for the long journey ahead ✨

Friend, would you open your heart to Jesus and choose to look at all the ways He pursues your heart? What’s His love language for you? 😌❤️‍🔥
