Filling The Cup

Chapter 7: The way back to life

Revelation 3:20 ESV
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

I have open my door and welcome the Lord, Jesus.

John 14:6 ESV
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

I wanted to find my way back into life I followed Jesus.

Back in late November 2012 I told my mom, I need to go back to Church.

She replied, “You should. I was wondering why haven't you, knowing you're a Born Again Christian."

She gave me transportation allowances. That was a surprising thing for me because she usually nags me about expenses.

Soon enough, I had attended every Sunday Fellowship. The next thing I knew, I was attending bible study group and my group mates help me with my weekly allowances. I was able to buy what I need and I had money for transportation fare.

January 2013, I was hired as Call Center agent but in March I had to resign because it was eating my time, I could no longer attend Church activities and fellowship.

It's important to God to have a relationship with him and also important to have a relationship with fellow Christians.

God had restored what we lost, our source of income. We had room for rents, because we have two extra rooms in the house since my two brothers got married they moved next door.

He restored broken relationship. We had no communication with my mom's relatives and siblings. Then when I had decided to follow Jesus, they started to communicate again.

At first my mom hesitated but I said, “Take heart, it will be all right. It is time to forgive and reconcile." Because she was worried about what will be the consequences and what they will say about us.

We were invited to three weddings of my cousins, birthday parties of their children and even water pouring ceremony of my cousin's baby to declared her as Catholic.

Philippians 4:19 NIV
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 6:25, 32-33 ESV

“Therefore I tell you,   do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?  For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.  But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Though, I had resigned we had received unexpected blessing from different sources from relatives abroad and from my Christian friends and even from my older brothers.

Of course, It doesn't mean I won't look for a job. I still did but God had other plans for my life.

A year later in May 2014, I got hired as an English teacher for a Korean Academy. I was recommended by my Church mate and long time friend. She used to work there. I had worked there for five months.

I had a rich experience when was working there. God had done amazing things in my life.
