2010 - The Lord is my Deliverer
2010 has been one of the greatest year for me. Why? I've been through to too many trials, downs, pains; but the Lord is able to deliver me and save me..
12 months ago, I was just a student. As I review my planner, I saw things to do's like finishing OJT files, doing important stuff and alike. I also had my thesis subject and oracle subject on which I wasn't really sure if I'm goin to graduate or not.
Well, our thesis project was chosen to represent our college/department. It wasn't really that easy. We have to do the system ahead of time; and it was just February that time -- to early for us to finish it compared to the regular thesis groups. I cannot forget how much pain and fear it caused me or to the group as well, when our dean keeps on digging us down, saying "Hindi niyo naman yan kaya,.. Itigil niyo na yan".. Those moments are really tiring, hurting and frustrating. We cannot do anything. We're too stuffed to think of something that could make our thesis project unique compared to other existing project. But, with God's grace, we are able to get the 3rd place in the competition.. :D
But, to graduate really did not stop in finishing the thesis project, we have to finish and defend our Oracle System. Along with the thesis project, we have to do the Oracle System in which we poured every single drop of our sweats, tears, headaches and eye bugs. On the day of defense, I was quite of full confidence that we're gonna have a high grade. But, things aren't really in your hands.. We failed to show the system. We had no chance. We're going to fail.
Days have passed. Prayers are on bended knees and cry outs. Until the day came, where in we have to get our grade slips, and for the first time, I got my first 3.0 .. in my oracle subject. I passed. We passed. I'm going to graduate. After 12 days, it was the graduation day. The Lord is really great.
After the graduation, I was a person unemployed and my only identity was of Christ - that I am His.
I have to apply for job. At first, I enjoyed it. I promised God that I will make sure that my job will be free on Saturdays and Sundays. It was getting harder. I felt like that I'm loosing great company's one by one.
In the middle of the road, one day, our school registrar called me at home, saying that she cannot produce my TOR, Certificate of Graduation and Diploma as well because my birth certificate has a wrong gender entry. In stead of female, it was male.
I continued applying for jobs since there are no options. It's no easy. The companies that doesn't require the TOR's and Stuff are call center companies. But I still hold on to what I promised to the Lord and what He promised to me - that He will put me in a company of His will.
One day, I was about to apply in a Japanese Company, but, the traffic was too heavy that I came 15 minutes late so I decided not to go. Instead, I went to another company. I walked from POEA to Greenhills 'cause I thought it wasn't that really far. But, it was about 5 kilometers long. When I got there, the HR asked me of my TOR's and stuff, I told them, I don't have them already. Yet, they still allowed me to take the exam. The exam was so familiar. I've already seen it for the 4th time. The Lord also reminded me of the right answers. I passed the exam and took the exam on the next day. After lunch, I had my interview with the manager and company president. They asked me of my TOR, I told them of my problem, they asked my of my copy of grades, I told them that it was gone because of what happened to Ondoy. They told me that they really require my grades. After the interview, they told me that they're just going to call. I went home, too much frustrated, I cried, "Lord, tele-novela ba 'to? Ilang taon kong pinaghirapan yung pag-aaral ko, tapos eto? wala man lang akong patunay na grumaduate ako? Na pinaghirapan ko iyon lahat?" ... I cried to my mom. So, what she did is that she went to my school and asked the registrar if she could release my documents, though it does contains the wrong entry for my gender. Days had passed, I recieved no calls from any company.
Week after the interview, I recieved a call from that company, they told me that I passed the exam an interview. They'd asked me if I was still free. I was really amazed, how could they accept me if I have no credentials? They'd trust me with what I said? I knew it! The Lord showed that His works knows no rules of men.
Now, I am currently working in the company. I loved the people, though things are not really easy. I met Christian friends and I am growing.
One more thing to testify is that the Lord had delivered me from the pit of my fall. I fell in love with a non Christian. Yeah, I was happy having someone with me, pursuing, caring and I felt loved. But, I fell miserable as I was loosing my Everything. I was disobeying my GOD!! Every night, I found my self lying dead with my soul and spirit. I called on God for help because I can't help my self out. I need a Savior. The Lord saved me. He made a way. Yes it hurt me and the guy, but I know it was for the good and what was good is that we didn't commit in a relationship. I'm still a clean sheet. :D
I really love the way how the Lord delivered me - showing me things that are beyond my understanding, but I really have to obey.
