While reading the article about the encounter of President Duterte with a strange audible voice, I came across a statement from the lower portion of the online newspaper. "If you talk to God, it's called prayer. If God talks to you, its called schizophrenia."
          I kind of disagree though. Although we are living in a modern age, hindi ibig sabihin nun ay tikom na ang bibig ng langit. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Kung ano ang ginawa Niya noon sa panahon pa nina David at Moses, ginagawa Niya pa rin hanggang ngayon. Hindi Siya magbabago. I can attest na nakikipag-usap pa rin Siya sa mga tao. I have friends and relatives who are totally sane and have the same testimony. Marahil ang iba sa inyo hindi maniniwala sa sinasabi ko at marahil iniisip na baliw ako pero totoo ang sinasabi ko.Only those people who have ears to listen, and eyes that can truly see lang ang makakatestify sa ganitong mga pangyayari. Hope you are not offended. Love you all.

@lightstaybright Read that part too, sis. And it saddens me. Prayer is a two-way communication, you talking to God and Him talking to us. We just have to listen and we'll hear. God spoke to people before. That's how the bible was written, and diba "God is the same yesterday, today, and forever". The same God who speaks to people is the same God who is still speaking today. :)

PART 2 OF TESTIMONY (PLEASE READ PART 1 MUNA :-)
          
          
          BUT HERE'S THE BOOM.
          
          It was the same day na bigla na lang siyang tinawagan ng isang church mate nila na nagtatrabaho sa Cambodia. Nakita daw nito ang Mom niya na isa na palang principal ng isang school doon. Sinabihan siya nito na tutulungan daw siya ng Mom niya sa mga expenses niya, at gusto nito na magsama sila sa Cambodia. Her pastor told her na naghahanap rin ang church nila ng missionary na idedestino sa lugar na iyon na magtatayo ng church...and exactly siya na lang yung pinili kasi pupunta naman siya sa Cambodia.
          
          
          It was really unexpected. Noong marinig namin iyon, we were overjoyed and at the same time shocked on how things turned around for her. Ang linis talaga ng path na tinahak niya. Parang planado na ang lahat from beginning to end. Maybe because she trusted God and waited no matter how long it was. She still remains faithful despite trials and challenges along her way. Now, she is enjoying what God has promised for her. Now, she's together with her Mom there. ;(
          
          I just want to share this with you. Proverbs 29:11. God has plans for each one of us. Plans that are full of hopes. And if we only seek Him with all our heart, we will find Him and He will reveal to us great and mighty things we do not know. (Jer. 33:3). God is really faithful. God is really awesome. Ginawa Niya yun sa friend ko, gagawin Niya rin iyon sa'yo...Just trust Him and you will see. I hope this will encourage you, dear brothers and sisters.Thank you for reading this til the end lahot mahaba. :-)

PART 1 TESTIMONY
          
          I have a friend na matagal ng nahiwalay sa Mom niya simula nung bata pa lang siya.Separate na yung parents niya at meron nang ibang asawa yung dad niya.  Yung mama niya kasi ay nagtatrabaho sa ibang bansa. Maraming taon na ang nakakalipas ngunit wala pa rin siyang nababalitaan tungkol sa mama niya. Kaya hindi na maiwasang iassume ng mga relatives at friends nila na baka patay na nga ito o nag-asawa na at tuluyan na talaga silang iniwan. My friend is a Sunday school teacher sa church nila and despite sa ups and downs sa buhay niya, she still remains strong sa kaniyang faith na balang araw, in God's perfect timing, magkikita talaga sila ng Mom niya...Kaya kahit walang kasiguradohan, she still trust Him and waited for His promise. I am just a bystander lang na tumitingin sa susunod na mangyayari sa buhay niya...Ilang taon din yun...kung ako yung nasa katayuan niya, mababagot talaga ako sa kakahintay.
          
          It was very still.  Nagraduate lang siya sa college, walang Mom na sumubaybay sa pag-akyat niya sa stage...Then, natanggap siya sa isang online English company. Isang araw, sinabihan siya ng tiyo niya na tutulungan siya nito na magtrabaho sa Thailand kasi marami dung naghahanap ng mga gurong magtuturo ng Ingles. At the same time,  she's also appointed as a missionary na nakadestino doon. Biglaan lang yun at hindi niya yun iniexpect. Wala siya passport, wala siyang pera, wala din siyang matitirhan dun. 
          
          But Here's the boom...
          
          To be continued...
