The Realness of God’s Promises
Do you still remember what I posted last September about God’s promise to me of USA? If you have not yet read it, or if you just want to refresh it, then you are free to read it now: Conquest of the USA Promised. The text gave a rhema on me.
I just realized how real God is! He is real! He is more real than I am. He is more real than the one reading this. You know, I am now here in the promised land–USA, the land of milk and honey… hehehe… I thought only the Israelites in the bible could ever experience something like this, but now, it was just proven that I too, who has received plenty of promises from the Lord, am going to testify how He made my life and brought me here now. I had lots of hardships on waiting for my visa and departure, but when I started trusting Him and endured, my struggles became simple (not easy) and played as challenges that are to be overcame. When I got my visa, I never had a hard time; from how I will get my fare, up to my checking-in to the airport and into traveling from Manila to Seoul to Seattle, and until my arrival to the US land. I never got nervous (promise!), because I know that God will walk, speak and move for me. Overall, my travel was fine and simple yet exciting. His angel really is helping me.
And now, I am really really really excited. Welcome to America! Welcome to a new battlefield! Jesus is my commander. He’s gonna lead me. (I know!)
Wait… Serve… Deliver…
(Tuesday, November 10, 2008, at 11:30 pm. Si Imay, natutulog na at ginising ni Barbie)
Barbie: May! Nagtext na sa akin ang Delbros Deliveries. Ipapadala na daw nila ang visa ko kasi na-forward na sa kanila ng US embassy.
Imay: (naantok pa pero biglang nagising sa sinabi ng kapatid) Talaga? (lumabas ng kwarto at nakipag-usap sa mga ateng gising pa. Biglang may naramdamang takot sa puso.)
Barbie: Bakit sa’yo wala pa?
Imay: Di ko alam, Barbs…
(Saka itong si demonyo, biglang nang-asar sa kanya, ginamit pa si Manang Mac nya)
Manang Mac: (kay Barbie) Barbs, stay ka lang dito sa bahay ok. (kay Imay) Eh yung visa mo, May, nasaan? (pa-sarcastic na pagsabi)
Imay: May reason ang lahat. (kay demonyo) Hoy, demonyo, umalis ka nga sa tabi ng ate ko. (nagtungo sa kwarto at kinausap ang Diyos)
(Napahiga sya at nawala ang kanyang antok. Biglang naiyak…)
Imay: (kausap si Lord) Lord, ano pong problema? Ano po ang gusto nyong matutunan ko? Ano po ang reasons why You still want me to stay any longer? Parang mas mauuna pa po sa akin si Barbie ah. (iyak) Magde-December na po, Daddy… huhuhu… yung promise nyo po sa akin… huhuhu…
Jesus: I know, my princess. Just wait me…
Imay: Thank you, but, how long, my Lord?
Jesus: Just serve me… I let you experience all these things for your spiritual growth. I know the plans I have for you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)
Imay: I’m afraid.
Jesus: Fear not, my beloved princess, for I am with you. Your reward shall be very great. (Genesis 15:1) Tama na… heto na ang panyo… mahal kita…
Imay: Salamat, huh? I must not be afraid. “All things work together for good for those who love you”, sabi mo nga sa Romans 8:28. Lahat ng failures na nararanasan ko ngayon is a part of Your great plans. Mahal din kita. (sabay kuha ng panyo at inilabas ang uhog 
)
Jesus: Just wait and serve me… and I will soon deliver you from all these troubles. Basta I love you child. Patience lang… Sige, tulog ka na. Maaga pa tayong mag-uusap bukas.
Imay: (nagpunas ulit ng panyo kasi dumugo ang ilong dahil sa pag-i-Inggles ni Jesus… hehehehe lol)
(Si Imay, nakatulog nang nakangiti… 
)
