After praying, I was compelled to follow this man in blue. I didn&#8217;t respond immediately, and continue praying, thought this guy maybe some pastors who must have gone to restricted area that i can&#8217;t follow. Then I noticed that now the man is walking towards me (his face was normal, nothing special or particular about this man). Yet i didn&#8217;t move still, I was continuing to memorize what i just read then. So i just observed the man going to the back of the room, looking at large stack of old books&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Hence about time to go off, and I&#8217;m still puzzling whether I should just leave or give a second look to see what that earlier feeling nudge me about following this man. My curiosity won over me, so i went to the back, the man was no longer there&#8230;hmm, i thought maybe what the voice wanted me to look at the pile of old books? Like some secrets there? hehe&#8230;.then again i remembered clearly, it&#8217;s following the man, not the place he went or things he touched or things interests him.<\/p>\n<p>So, i followed him (after distracted by an engraved dedicated to a man who had served for over 30 years, died at age 74, actually more for camoflauge that i didn&#8217;t want to be seen too obvious following him)&#8230;braving myself to get out the place from the gate that is locked normally in these hours. What a rare chance i thought that I could go through that gate on this hour&#8230;maybe the man will scold me and ask me to go out from another entry? Yet he was too busy opening another small door, which will lead to the &#8220;high&#8221; place which i always wanted to go and see.<\/p>\n<p>Then this thought came to me, now i know who is this man. Apparently he&#8217;s the one holding keys to the rooms. And following him will give me access to those rooms i can&#8217;t go in by myself. It&#8217;s the same thing with following God. He&#8217;s holding all keys and only He has access to all doors and rooms. If i follow him, basically, i will have access to otherwise nobody can enter&#8230;.So easy to be caught up with activities and things of interest, but if i want to have access, there&#8217;s only one way&#8230;to follow him\u00a0<em>closely<\/em>. Wherever he goes, the doors will be opened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a unique one afternoon. After praying, I was compelled to follow this man in blue.
