I continued to serve God during the storms of my life. I know i am not the one who is experiencing this kind of situation but also to the people who followed Jesus. Even Jesus and His disciples encountered more pain and rejection. In the Bible many would not believe in the truth. I only thought of myself that there might be other people who were more teoubled than mine these days. God gives us trials in life that we can only carry. In times like this we can learn, grow and be matured enough to handle present situations until the end. We just need to surrender it all to God. God's plan is always on time and perfectly the best to mold ourselves and to test our faith. Sometimes i made wrong decisions but still he never leave. His mercy and grace is so deep and i can't believe a God like Him would accept and die for a sinner like me. We might gain or loss some people but they were just a part of our journey. I am holding on to the promises of God that has given me. He promised to save me from my situation as well as my family. I know i lost my mother now but i am still praying for her even we are apart. I am now taking her into God's hands because i found favor in taking our little business in selling food to people. When i took over my mother's little business my help to support the church grew. I know it's still difficult now because my mother left us many debts and others for monthly bills. I felt how my mother felt now that is why i am helping her to pay them slowly. She might come back and it could make her a bit happy. I am hoping for that day to come and i would never gave up in praying for her. We also have a neighbor that my mother lend a money but i didn't pay her because i can't afford it anymore. I heared she is a secret millionaire and instead of helping people she made big interests from it. She also pray and offer sacrifices from gods for her to gain more wealth. I don't know where her money goes because she is still working and she don't even have kids to use for her money. Actually i would like to share to her the word of God but i am afraid she will only laugh at me because we have a debt from her. Maybe if she will force me to pay for my mother's debt that would be the time i will face her.
For me, selling food is also a favor from God. I am good at it because i love it for a long time. Sometimes i can see hungry people that can't afford to buy and i will give them. Actually i have four customers who had mental disabilities that would pass by everyday and ask for something to eat. There were lost people i helped too but they will not come back anymore. Many times my sales could be low and i will let it lend to other places. I also sell it for a very lower price and even give or sale it for buy one take one. 😅 Here in our place it's really the style of many people to lend a money or even food. 😅 Every Sunday morning they will pay me but most of them would not pay but still it is okay for me. Sometimes they hide, got angry and told me to pay for the next time. There will also times that i would take a long time to finish selling viands because of being talkative. Not about people but about me and my encounters with God. It was also an opportunity to share to them even when i am doing our little business. ❤️➕️❤️
My mother before only spent her money for her vices but for me i was able to manage it at just a level. She is so good at cooking and many people missed her dishes already including me but now my father had replaced her. My father don't work anymore because he was eliminated from work during the covid19 pandemic. Their company shut down and a chinese owned it already. I was still glad because my father is older now and that he could already rest from working because of his back aches. It is better for my father being here with me to help me too. He is so useful to me because he also knows how to ride a motorcycle to go to the market and buy the recipes. I also hired a helper because i can't do all of my tasks especially now that i am always going to church. Her name is Paklay the partner of my cousin James. They have three kids and they were also in a difficult living because of their needs. I shared Paklay about God before and she truly doesn't like our topics because i noticed that she would turn away our conversation. When the typhoon Odette came to pass their house was gone. It was hit by a big jackfruit tree but i'm glad they were all safe together with their kids. I am so pity for them and continued to help and pray for their situation. I always invite them to go and visit to our church but they couldn't gave God a chance. I always share to her the word of God until she understands a little bit of it. She was infected by the Christian music and videos i played too. I know in her heart that she believes the God we serve because she loves to listen about God now and wanting more. Some people disgust them too because they thought we are one but she always defended me. I am hoping in the future that she will not only listen but also follow Jesus. They only need a little more to let their lives surrender to Jesus. I asked my pastor to open up a schedule for a Bible Study in our house and i know God will move here to save more souls. That in the future the people in Minglanilla would be for Jesus. I am so happy serving the Lord and the people God gaved me. ❤➕❤
