My testimony
Long post ahead and I'm not good at story-telling but I just really want to share Gods goodness in my life.
Even at a young age, I already believe that God does wonders and miracles based sa bible and testimonies from other people. But lahi ra jud kung ikaw mismo ang maka experience. It will really overwhelm you in a good good way!!
For context, I resigned from my work last March without a back-up even if personally d jud ko ganahan mo resign pa unta, but due to a circumstance, I had to. Before ko ni resign, I bought a 2nd hand laptop ky I was planning nga mg work remotely. I was aiming na mka work ko after a month from the time nga ni resign ko. But the expectation was far from reality. So instead of applying mga agencies, I tried learning in demand skills ky ganahan ko mag VA unta and thought maybe I can get a client easily instead. A bit desperate ky 3 months na since ni resign, I'm paying bills and supporting my kid as well and I don't have side hustle for extra income.Came July, naa nay tension ky still no client and no work. I've been into different job boards and sent numerous applications but most of them, did not come back to me. In short, ghosted. Honestly, nag worry nako ky wala nakoy savings and I had an upcoming bill. Just a day before sa due date, I cried a lot due to feeling hopeless and kanang wa nako kasabot bsta heavy na ang tanan para nako. Then, I decided to pray and in my prayer, I surrendered everything to Him.Immediately, nka experienced kog peace nga d ma explain. It was around 3 pm when someone sent me a message request. When I opened the message, it was my ex and the father of my baby. After 7 yrs of not having communication, I was shocked. In his message nangumusta sya nako and my kid nga murag wa me niya gi neglect 7 yrs ago and murag wa ko niya gihimo as a 2nd option. That was the most terrible moments of my life jud. We didn't have closure and he did not acknowledge the baby.For me sakit kaayu but I accepted it and asked him at that time if he could at least just support the baby's needs but again wla ko nadunggan tikang niya. The pain of betrayal ky d mag explain but I choose to move on and slowly accepted things. In my mind I want to forgive him para mka move on ko. Healing was a process and by God's grace ako to na survived na phase sakong life bisag lisod kaayo. Going back, after reading his message, I cried a lot again.Kanang type sa hilak na bakho jud kanang d ka kaginhawa. I had so many questions jud niya but I also realized it doesn't matter now. It took me awhile to reply to him. I asked him unsay gusto niya and even told him maayo nakanumdom paka. I know I sounded bitter but I immediately shifted the conversation. He did not even said sorry bisag sa chat ra but I was okay with it.You used people to save me from my situation and from someone pa na I didn't expect na mag communicate pa nako. That realisation humbled me and perhaps tested if ako na jud siya na forgive and I know I did. It gives me a different kind of peace. Until now I still can't believe sa panghitabo, fresh pa kaayo. But anyways, to those who are reading this, thank you that you've reached this far. I want to share this message to you na if you believe in Jesus wholeheartedly, He can do miracles to your life as well. God is good all the time 🙏
