"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. - Hebrew 11:1.
Without faith, it is impossible for me to get this far. There are three stories in my life that I can testify about this:
1. Losing the job of my husband just when we transferred in Makati City.
When we first moved in Makati from the province, it is the faith that keep me going especially when after a few months, my husband had been terminated in his job because of drug addiction.
I remembered praying, "Lord give us until the end of the school year to survive so that we can go back to the province." That six remaining months that I'd been asking for turned out to be 8 years and counting. His provisions sustained us all these years.
2. Losing the job that sustains us for the first two years.
I had to leave before I got terminated because I can't reach my metrics. I thought I can rely on the job of my husband back then, trucking in Montalban, but I was wrong. He's still into drugs and he damaged the truck he was servicing.
I was confused and wanted to accept every kind of menials job I can put my hand into - tindera, labandera, etc. just so I can finance my kids. I had no money to buy them uniforms and school supplies. I was sick also because of stress, I was high blood.
But I did not lose hope. I trust the Lord and He provided me the job that I still have even now.
3. Buying my first property.
I was able to buy my first condominium but my salary is not sufficient to get one within Metro Manila. I got one in Imus though at around 1.7 M through Pag-ibig financing. Now, it is once again a dilemma as to how we can live there when my kids are studying here in Pateros and I am working in Taguig City.
When I look back, I've gone through a lot of dilemmas that I successfully been through. I know that this present one will be easier because I have faith.
We, who are in different kinds of difficulties in life can "FAITH IT UNTILL WE MAKE IT" hence this t-shirt design I made just for us. Snag it HERE.
Faith can move mountains.
Faith can be an antidote for fear.
Faith can keep us going.
Faith can make the impossible, possible.
So wear your faith all the time.
