It's really overwhelming and still unbelievable that I am now actually in the United States of America studying. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and a blessing to be grateful for. I know it's really expensive here and I don't even know how on earth will I be able to fund my studies, but I know for sure, God will always be my greatest provider and He will be there for me all the days of my life. And of course, my family will be there to help.
It has been 10 months now since I came here in what they called "The Land of Milk and Honey" and I still couldn't grasp the enormity of God's love to me and my life. Just the thought of me being here despite the financial difficulties back home, is already a blessing from God that needs to be paid for endlessly. My family are not rich, but we are also not struggling in the Philippines. We are living enough to sustain our daily needs in the family. I remember when I was young, I only have a few penny with me but I can still buy the food that I want and I still was able to pay my University Fees at the same time help my family especially my siblings with their expenses through my fathers' earning of $ 400 a month sometimes less and my earning $ 600 a month equivalent to only a $1,000 a month. But we never felt that we needed more because we were satisfied with what we have.
Being here in America bringing nothing with me but "Strong Faith to God and Motivation" just lift my spirit to really just straight right up and shoot the moon! ^___^ I am very positive that my life here will be great if I am holding on to the faith the I have now and if I will be motivated enough to really achieve what I wanna achieve in this life. My dreams are nothing if it's not from God. I would rather be empty handed with faith, than have lots of achievements but I'm lost. I am blessed that at the point now of my walk with the Lord, I am certain that everything that I do will always be offered to Him and He will always be the reason why I have it.
School starts next week and I am a in a roller coaster ride with my eyes tightly closed just relying on my guide who is my ultimate protector, my life, my best friend, my everything!
Lord, now that I am with my new journey----Be with me all the time. I offer you my life. I offer every ounce of my breath to you.
I'll shoot the moon, but please be my bow and arrow! :)
