Blog Entry81,000 ReasonsAug 7, '07 5:40 AM
for everyone
Wow. I can't believe I actually found the time to write here again!! Whoo! I can make kwento na.

I have been insanely busy over the last couple of months. Let me spell it out para maintindihan niyo talaga. I'm talking about two jobs plus school. One is like a two month thing lang (na naextend to almost three!) na every weekend. And I mean WEEKENDS. Friday evening, whole day Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Pero it was sooo fun! Met a lot of interesting people. The second job is in Makati every MWF mornings then sa hapon I go to school. I worked as the assistant of the Events/Accounts Manager at a PR Firm. So you can understand why I hardly have time to breathe.

But things are better now! The contract job is over and I resigned from my Makati job coz it was really getting in the way of school na. You'd think I would feel the effects na financially... But no! Kaya ako nagblog, super galing ni God!!!!

Remember? Not so long ago I was totally financially... Uh... Not good. I prayed and prayed and prayed for things to get better. Todo fast at prayer chain, as in. Prayer web pa. Haha! I had a huge debt at school because we weren't able to pay for my first year of study (buti mabait yung school, Christian kasi). I thought I wasn't going to be able to study this semester. Of course, being 21 (almost... Sa October) I felt the urge to do something and help my parents. I started looking around for jobs... But, as usual, God waited until the FINAL moment to provide and show me His goodness.

Classes had started already and I wasn't enrolled pa din because a) walang pang-enroll and b) walang pambayad ng gargantuan utang namin. I fought every urge to lose my head and panic. I woke up that Wednesday morning refusing to accept the idea that I wouldn't be able to go to school. Go to school ang lola mo, by faith. Sit in ako sa classes at kinukuha yung assignments kahit di pako enrolled. Di naman naloka mashado mga prof ko diba. (don't worry, Christian din sila) Deep in my heart, I was so convinced that God would pull through kahit SOBRANG impossible yung situation.

2pm of that same day, my dad called saying that he had a check already! My goodness. Di ako nakahinga. Turns out, his boss, na tiga-VCF din (alabang) was willing to help out! Plus, my uncle offered to help with my pang-enroll for that semester. Amazing! As in totally amazing!!

That day, God provided me with 81,000 Pesos.

God did that in one single day. In one day, I saw His faithfulness and blessing FIRST HAND. I had been praying for almost a year already. He waited until there was no other source that I could go to but to Him. I slept weeping that night. My bedroom floor stained with tears of gratitude and amazement and awe.

God didn't stop there!!

That same week, I got two phone calls that landed me my two jobs! Not only was I blessed. I was now being equipped to bless others. Totoo pala yung pressed down, shaken together and running over! Astig noh?

I don't know what you might be going through. I don't know how big a mountain you are facing right now, but I do know one thing: WE HAVE AN AWESOME GOD. The God I serve owns the world and everything around it. And He loves me! He loves you, too! If God was able to provide for me, He can most certainly do more for you! Just believe.

Matagal na tayo Kristiyano, pero sometimes we forget the most elementary things. Faith!! It works!! Look at my life, promise! It's true! Haha :)

So now I am falling and falling and falling more in love with God! I have 81,000 new reasons. :)
