Moral Lesson Learned: One-on-one Encounter with a Radio DJ



June came and I had to call the radio station for I will just bring my love gift on my birthday. After calling the radio station, it was the official confirmation which finally grant my prayer. Fortunately, it was supposed to happen last June 2012 but I found out the news 702 DZAS moved to One Corporate Center in Ortigas. Honestly, there is nothing to hold back on that day when I had to visit the radio station on June 7 2013. Days and months prior, I had to contact one of the staffs of FEBC if I could visit the radio station on the given date and time. Basically, I was undergoing a series of eye examination while having an initial inquiry about it.

However, on the day of my visit, I immediately cram thinking I would be late for the call time I have set. Until, a surprising procrastination took place - a simple mechanical error with the train. As a result, I started praying it will not cause a major delay; it was easily resolved. After riding the LRT and the connecting route to MRT - Shaw Boulevard Station, I nearly got confused where is the right route going to Meralco Avenue. Fortunately, when I arrived to One Corporate Center, I was again confused with the penthouse numbers until it was P3 or the so-called 46th Floor.



When I have reached the FEBC Office in OCC, I was just expecting to give my love gift until one of the staffs asked me if I wanted to have a studio tour around the station. Without hesitation and much eager, I had a chance for a studio tour and met the newest PAs (Production Assistant), IT man, and some of the hosts of the programs. However, DJ Dave started to say I looked familiar as in very familiar. Notwithstanding, I got a chance to have a first-hand experience of the studio during the time slot of Inspirations Unlimited. There were some on-air discussions and most off the air conversations. Then, I had to share my stupid mistake to him until I have formulated my moral lesson form what I did. Never to put much of your time, effort, attention, and energy to something/someone so needless and not deserving to achieve. Honestly, I asked him to open the social media account of NJ until I had to repeat the moral lesson learned. Then I remember when DJ Dave asked me about my experiences attending the FEBC Anniversary, it’s like I have reminded on attending the prayer day during my college days.

After my stay in the show, the conversation I had with DJ Dave continues. While having a walk going to the mall, we had some talks about my journey until we have reached the particular fast food chain. Afterwards, he asked me to pray for the blessing of the fellowship until he said it was supposed to him who must lead but I answered it is fine if I had too. Going back to the unfinished discussion, he asked me again to state what I have learned. Then, he told me I must be thankful I have my work and my family. Furthermore, there is an absolute need of balance of what I am holding. Like a juggler, nothing must fall apart. Once again, he asked me if I had a ministry where I belong until I honestly answered with it. In the middle of the conversation, he told me I must delight myself to the Lord and all of my desires will be given. Upon hearing it, i was completely left speechless until it came to the point of agreeing with him. 

Once more, he asked me of what I am praying for someone. I answered someone who is supportive with my endeavors unlike with NJ who is willing to destroy my order of priority and must be willing to be second or third in my order of my priorities after God, and my family, and my first work - missionary work. Once again, he asked me about my write-up and its current status until I uttered it is continuously progressing. With the manner of asking he did, it seems I am slowly reaching my dream to write a book/novel either with someone or by myself. Afterward, I suddenly told him about my desire to switch careers to an airline staff but I have to retain my dream as a writer in spite of the opposing circumstances and challenging times. 

Honestly, this is my very first sensible table talk with someone organized and done by myself.I believe, this is a very outstanding opportunity I haven’t missed to experience. As I wrap this experience, it is just sharing about my second life and what I have been through. Above all, it was a very energizing experience to become further connected with the Lord, my second life literally belongs to Him and I am called to become a steward in fulfilling whatever is in-store for me - something greater and the best will come are ahead of me.
