God of wonders

Akala ko nga nun, forever na ako TECH 1 hehehe… kahit pinagpipilitan ko nang senior ako e, ang totoong nakasulat sa employment certificate ko, TECH 1 talaga e :D di naman lng ginawang SR. TECH 1 para may konting karangalan din naman sa kabila ng mahigit anim na taon kong pamamalagi diyan (kahit TECH 1 pa rin hehehe).
    
Maliban pa diyan, sino bang matinong kumpanya ang kukuha sa akin kung kayang-kaya naman nilang kumuha ng bago at makakatipid pa sila sa sahod? The only way for me then is to apply for work abroad kahit factory operator o janitor o kahit taga pamitas ng prutas basta mas mataas ng konti ang sahod at makaahon man lng kahit sa mga utang. And yes, i’ve spent many hours walking at nakipagbolahan sa maraming agencies para lng makaalis.
       
Pero ang nakakatuwa, nabiyayaan ako na walang karela-relasyon dun sa pinaghirapan ko. He just simply handed to me a GRAND gift ng walang pawis on my part: No placement fee; No POEA hassles. Free airfare via Philippine Airlines(hindi budget airlines ha hehehe). 15-day per diem allowance in $$$. 3-months free accomodation - plus free breakfast (thru a brother in Christ), Regular employment (No contract), and a lot more that i still continue counting it.
      
We often have this Oh,-yes,-I-know-that-He-can-do-everything,-the-Bible-says-so.-But-there-are-limits,-aren’t-there?" attitude, when all we have to do is to tell God our heart’s desire. That’s prayer anyway.
      
I thanked God that He still wraps wonderful gifts - beyond our imagination. Gifts kasi nga hindi mo pinagpapaguran o pinaghihirapan. Basta hiningi mo, at naayon naman sa mga plano niya, ibibigay niya talaga. Magugulat ka na lng, nasa sa’yo na o nasa lugar ka na, na akala mo hanggang pangarap na lang.
         
May we will continue to grow in PRAYER and trust His WORD. God still do wonders.

Letter to Yuna

I will always be here. 3_1

   

You will feel the warmth of my presence always.

 

I will watch you grow.

 

In your frustations and excitement as you learn your first steps, my hand will hold yours.

    

You will never feel alone. No matter how far the distance they’ll tell you, believe me, i will always be at your side.

   

I will be the first to hear you mumble mmmaaa.. mama.

   

I will be the first to enjoy your gooss and worldless gibberish.

 

I will listen to you, until you can put up the words you want to say.

   

I will listen even it may appear that i don’t.

   

I’ll write down in my heart the things you’ve learned, the things you’ve said. So that one day, you can open my heart and look back how i cherish the wisdom you’ve gathered as you grow.

   

Never will you say that I leave you for a moment.

   

Never will you feel alone.

   

Never will you see me turned my back on you.

   

I will tell you great things about your God.

    

I will tell you His greatness and kindness until you’ll tell me yourself, "Yes Dad, i’ve seen His grace and that He loves me so much!"

   

You will grow in His grace, and in His mercy you will endure life’s trials.

   

When the time comes that you cannot see me anymore, you’ll be strong and nothing in life will ever move you.

   

You will see the reality of life in its purest form - in its minute detail.

   

You will cry and be hurt, smile and be happy.

   

But take courage, co’z you are just a sojourner, and this world was never meant to be our home.

   

And after you’ve learned enough, then i’ll meet you there - on the other side.
