“At the right time He will bring everything together under the authority of Christ~Ephesians 1:12”

I was lost for days, even weeks now.  I have been struggling to still be happy and positive amidst the problems and anxiety that I have been swimming through.  I allot two to three hours everyday to send applications and at this point I’m still not getting any response.  I kept telling myself, everything will be fine, all my needs and my family’s needs will be met that’s for sure.  For why should I start doubting now when all God has done for me was to save me from my problems and myself.

Sometime last week I was online, as usual but can’t really get to write anything.  It seems like I’m hitting a wall each time I attempt to even write something.  Then I heard Skype’s message tone and saw that icon that means I have a new message.  I thought at first, maybe its one of my friends.  I have this one friend that I sometimes help with  her work, we used to work together as QA’s (Quality Analyst).  So clicked on the Skype icon, someone not from my contact’s list wanted to add me and sent me a message.  Lo and behold, it was an interview schedule!!! My heart leaped, after hundreds of applications one responded! Just when the tides of misery’s about to swallow me whole God’s hand dipped in and got my hand.

That moment, I felt really loved, happy and full of hope again.   Its like fresh air was breathed into my soul, making me ready to face anything again.

PING BACK: Scripture Sabbath Challenge

 

Isaiah 26:3 ~ You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.

I was part of Blogging 101, and we were encouraged to be part of events here in WordPress.  As I am already part of one event In Other Words where in a quote will be published every week and you can write your interpretation of the quote in your blog, I still wanted to explore the other activities.  That’s how I stumble upon Scripture Sabbath Challenge where in you will share a scripture that moved you.  So I chose Isaiah 26:3.

I was born a Catholic, went to a Catholic School from Kinder until High School.  I was taught the values of being a good Catholic and a true believer at an early age.  I have always thought that I knew what there is to know about my Faith and Religion.  But sometimes what you think you know is not really what it is.

In all my years of existence, I have never struggled as much as I have this past year.  In 2015, I lost everything, or so I thought.  That year I had to quit my job, lost people that I thought were my friends, bills are coming in like clock work every month, I had difficulty looking for a stable job that can support me and my family’s needs, I found a “friend”, or so I thought again until I found out she was not really there to help me but more of use me for her own benefit.  I felt like I was persecuted and that it is the end of my world.  And so I thought, what could be worse than what I am experiencing right now, right?  Cum November, my sister was diagnosed with Lung CA Stage 4.  That’s when I broke down.  I haven’t felt that helpless ever, for I always thought that whatever it is that will come my way I would know what to do.  Like if a curve ball is thrown at me I’d know how to swing.  This time its different, I wasn’t able to swing.  The ball hit me right on the face.  But I tried to be calm about it, for everybody was already upset and I can’t afford to be one of them at this time.  During that time I really had nothing but PHP50 in my wallet (this is equivalent to like $1, imagine that!) and my sister needed PHP 5,000.00 everyday.  I was like so where in the world will I get that money without robbing anyone? I always pray, for my mom, siblings and their families.  But that day I prayed the hardest.  And I thank God for hearing me, for help was sent to me and my family that day.  That’s when I can truly say that in everything that we have, we do or we need we just need to trust that He is there for us and that He never fails, NEVER.
