All of your problems would be resolved with miracles by Him.
All of your prayers would be answered.
Everything will turn out just great..
I'm a living proof, my testimony is just going to blow everyone's mind.
Everyone should know how much my parents were against me taking any other majors other than business, or fashion.
I asked them a couple of times, but every time I find myself being rejected with a simple "no" coming out from their mouth.
On Thursday, I really couldn't stand it anymore.
I find myself really doing something that I do not like.
I'm taking math, accounting, econs, and other classes that I have no interest in.
And to find myself doing badly in class does not make me feel any better.
I was just so disappointed in myself.
After my exam on Thursday, I was crying so badly in the library.
I didn't want to continue wasting my life away taking the classes that I hate and that I am currently not doing well.
Why am I wasting my time?
I asked myself that question over and over again.
And I really couldn't bear with this anymore.
I bbm-ed my parents that I really wanted to change my major.
But knowing in my head that 90% chance of my proposal to them will get a "no" as an answer.
Dad said that we'll discuss this again through skype.
And Mom suggested that I take fashion, as she always do.
One and a half day passed.
No reply from them.
I bbm-ed them, asking them to make a decision as soon as they possibly can.
So that I can apply for the school that I want to go on Monday.
My Dad said that he'll discuss it with my Mom who was still sleeping at that point of time.
I said okay, just let me know.
That was before the Freedom & Fashion event that we attended last night.
After the fashion walk, I got a bbm from my Dad.
Asking me what do I really want to take, and if it was Culinary.
I said, "yes".
And I didn't touch my phone for another 30 minutes because we were browsing through the clothes for sale at the event.
After we bought our jeans, just as when we were walking towards the others who were queueing to retrieve our shirts from this vendor, I took my phone out from my bag.
And I read my Dad's bbm.
To my surprise, he said that I can take whatever that I wanted to!
I was so happy that I literally jumped for joy and had tears of joy rolling down my cheeks.
The downside at that point was my Mom not being 100% behind this idea of me attending culinary school.
I told her why I wanted to go, and why she should let me go.
And within minutes, she said okay.
How incredible is this, seriously?
How amazing is the power of our God?
On Friday, the day after I cried and the day before my parents agreed to let me change major, during caregroup, Jun somehow knew that there was something bothering me in my heart and asked me if I had any prayer request.
I told them about what happened on Thursday.
And I was crying my heart out when I was telling them about everything, I was so thankful for having them and yet inside me, I still feel that sense of disappointment and for the fact that I'm such an "outcast".
And my caregroup was really praying for me.
But at the end of the prayer session, or rather during the time Jun was praying for me, I just felt that I don't want to put this on my shoulders and that the only thing that I wanted to do was to just hand all of this into His hands.
Because doing that, I know that everything would work out the way He planned it for me.
If it wasn't meant for me to take culinary, my parents would say no eventually.
And if it was, things would get on the right path and that things will be on the brighter side.
Lifting everything into His hands is so hard and yet so simple at the same time.
Sometimes people are just not ready to sacrifice everything, but once you do so, you would realize how great that choice was and how good He is.
Apparently, as all of you can see, God planned for me to use the talents that He gave me to make Him, my parents, and everyone around me proud.
He gave such a miracle into solving this problem of mine.
He talked to my parents, told them and softened their hearts.
And He allowed them to see His plan for my life.
That was when my parents see that the right choice and decision for this case was to agree with what I wanted to do, and to allow me to transfer to culinary school.
I just am so amazed at how great God is.
He works wonders, miracles and just the unimaginable.
He is so marvelous in everything.
We have to trust Him in all that we do, believe in Him and place everything into His hands.
He gave us everything and He can take everything away if He wanted to.
We should not take everything for granted.
We should do our best to do all that we can to bring glory to His name and to just lift up His name.
He is our wonderful, glorious and amazing God.
I love Him so greatly, and I say that from the bottom of my heart.
Even though I am a new Christian and I am just so new to everything..
All of that I have experienced within this short timeframe is just so surreal.
And I really love Him for who He is.
Now, think about it and ask yourself.
Can you say that too?
Can you say that you love Him?
If you can, I believe that actions speaks louder than words.
So how are you showing it?
Personally, I'm trying to get a closer and intimate relationship with God.
I'm starting to read the Bible everyday, it is hard at first, but I am pushing myself to do so.
I may be falling behind on the 30 days of worship book, but I will get back up.
I am just trying to know more of His words and to know Him better.
Devoting some time to Him, to hear what He has to say to me.
Worshipping Him, praising Him.
These are my baby steps to show that I am not a liar when I say I want to know Him more.
I will make myself grow spiritually.
And I am working hard.
But I will get there.
I will.
