Be humble and Be patient

Much of life is spent waiting and it’s how we wait that makes all the difference. I know many people will agree with me, mahirap maghintay. Nakakapagod, nakakasawa. I for one, has been waiting for so long for many things to come to my life- the right man, the dream job, and a chance to travel are just some of those. At times I get exhausted, yes; but I know there's nothing I can do about it, because it's God's plan for my life that will always prevail.

I'm saying this because I want to share how amazing the Lord is and how He has given me the wisdom while waiting for one of the most important event in my life, getting my first real job. You see, I have been waiting for almost 2 months for MMC to hire me. I was told to wait for their call after passing all of my documents (original + photocopy) to their HR department, so ang kulang nalang talaga is their call, telling me "You're hired!!" 

It's my dream to be able to practice my chosen profession, and being able to do that in a prestigious hospital makes the dream 101% awesome! I thought I'll be hired after a few weeks, but I believe God has other plans, because I'm still here waiting for the dream to happen. Its been 7 weeks at nakakalungkot na maghintay, I was starting to doubt myself and hate others (HR :p). BUT there He was again, God reminding me to hold on and be patient when I attended the worship night of Victory with Kez and Cha. One of the verses shared about asking something from God was:

"Be completely humble and gentle; 
be patient, bearing with one another 
in love." 

- Ephesians 4:2 (NIV)

"Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O LORD, you know it altogether."

- Psalm 139:4 (NIV)

I was surprised. Sobrang yan yung kelangan ko, ang galing talaga ni Lord!! He truly knows my heart. That's how great He is... knowing what I need at the moment and giving me wisdom and enlightenment through His words. That's when I realized that I really just have to WAIT; and while at it, remain patient and humble, na di ako dapat maging demanding, kasi ako na nga yung naghihingi at may kelangan, ako pa mayabang at nagmmamadali. Hindi dapat ganun.

"For I know the plans I have for you," 
declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you 
and not to harm you, plans to give you 
hope and a future."
- Jeremiah 29:11

And THIS. He already planned a great future for me. So, I don't have to worry! Some may ask, how can I believe in this so strongly, and the only answer I have is because I just do. I believe in an Almighty and Loving God. He is my rock, my father, my light. He has done so many miracles in my life and has given me everything I need. This job that I'm waiting for is my heart's desire, and if God believes I deserve it, He will give it to me at the right time.
