Fortune Teller

Definition: A person who claims the ability to predict the future (Dictionary.com)

What do you think??

I used to be that person who was really into superstitious things such as horoscope, palm reading, card reading, and chinese zodiac.

I bought a book that explains about each horoscope traits and characteristics in excruciatingly details. And I believed in every single word. When one of my friends told me a story about someone I'd be like, "I see. He's a Taurus right? No wonder he's like that." I was happy to drink up from my 'Leo' cup just because it fits my 'zodiac'. That's how messed up I was.

After I accepted Jesus as my Savior completely, I learned to let go of those things. It's getting harder for me to believe in it. I used to check out how my week would be on magazine. Ever since I became a Christian, I skipped the horoscope part, because unconsciously my mind still realize that I am a Leo. I didn't trust the horoscope anymore though.

Well, today..

I kind of going to see a fortune teller. It's not that I wanted to see him. I was made to come seeing him. I was told to ask him about my 'soulmate'. And he said something that I didn't really want to know. Well I want to know. But not like that. So he said my time will bloom and I'd meet my perfect soulmate… when I'm turning 29. Twenty frikkin nine year-old.

I didn't want to believe him.

But that's the thing about hearing a fortune teller. You don't want to believe them. But their words are already echoed in your mind. And it's not that easy to erase it completely.

My mom once came to see another fortune teller. And it happened that what that fortune teller said happened exactly to me. Hmm.. Well before we all be like Natalia Imbruglia and say, "So I guess the fortune teller's right…", I just want to remind you and me that God is the only One who knows the future.

I really need to put that in my mind.

Some said that fortune tellers are using their 'power' and bound their clients with curses from their mouth. And that could be the truth! If it's not from God, then it's not from God. And it's also different from prophecy. I've been prophesied by a Pastor before. And I must say, I felt way safer and more at ease listening to the promises of God than to promises of a stranger.

Right now there's this huge lump of regret in my heart that wishes I could turn back the time and not meeting that fortune teller. I also want to erase his words from my mind. I pray that what he said won't bound me in curse.

Pray for me please…

GBU
