Don't cry

 OJT and Thesis manuscript

I have a story before I've accomplished the OJT manuscript.

These happened on March 30, 2017.

It was 4:45 AM when I wake up. I came to the walking closet (prayer room) to pray and devote my time to the Lord until 6:15. I prayed for all the requirements that I have in my studies. It was very difficult for me to accomplish. I've wrote it in a yellow paper and prayed for it. I meditate on Luke 7:1-37 and there is a word on verse 13 that says, “don’t cry”. These two words strike me. The Lord impress to me that there is nothing impossible with Him. Tough the boy was dead on that chapter, the Lord Jesus still made him alive. He cares for us and don't want us to live in sorrow. We just need to give every concern to Him.

After having my devotion I send my realization through text message to my family and cell groups then I prepared to go to our college. My uncle "papa sime" replied on my text, he said, Praise God, I have my companion to reach out our family". 

During lunch break, I ate at our college canteen and my teacher maam Claire told me about my OJT. She said that she's not sure if she can send me to Sorsogon for OJT because of some reasons. I thought its okay, my second option is the BFAR-NFFTC nearby CLSU so that I may continue to meet my bible study contacts while doing the field practice or On the Job Training (OJT). Yes, I thought its okay but I still have that desire to go home at Sorsogon while doing the OJT because its almost one year since I've visited my own province.

After my class I went to the apartment. Daniel played a music entitled "This is my desire" and I follow the bit and the lyrics of the song. While singing, I prayed again my concern about going home. I looked on my calendar and its seems so impossible for me to go home if I will not do my OJT at Sorsogon. If that so, I will wait for another six months to go home. During the heights of my prayer I cried to God and remember my commitment to Him that I will serve Him, He is the one that will decide for me  and not my will but His will for me. When He said before that I will go to NCLS instead of going home, I go. If it is His will for me to do my OJT at nearby CLSU and not going home, its okay but still I have this desire to go home because I have too much load and pressure at CLSU. I want to take a little bit of rest on my home. While praying to God with tears, I remember what he said on my devotion  "Don't cry". Instead of stop crying, I cried all the more because I was overwhelmed with the Lord's message and instruction before the situation came. I praise the Lord and have the hope that He is in control, if He can raised the dead, he can also change the mind of my teacher.

Praise God, I'm on my home

with coconut and pine apple. Hehe

Praise the Lord on April 2, 2017 the Lord answered my prayer. My teacher allowed me to have my OJT on BFAR-NSTDC located at Sorsogon City.
