I am drafting a new story.

I got my first job at the age of 20. I work as a social worker in a government agency and in a span of 5 months, I already have to face life threatening situation like this. Earlier today, we had a brief meeting regarding to our field work in response to the threath of COVID-19. I almost cried when one of our bosses asked us to make a decision whether we will involve ourselves into it or decline it. I was in mixed emotions when he said that he was willing to serve the people even though there's an 80% chance that he will get infected with the virus. He asked our consents and told us to call parents and family if we ever decided to go. I could have declined and become selfish but our call of duty has hindered me to abandon those people I have sworn to serve especially at time of crisis. I am afraid too and I'm anxious for what future holds me but I am reminded that perhaps God put me in this to show me that He is my God, yesterday, today and tomorrow.
          
          I am asking everyone to pray for us, pray for our frontliners who selfishly serve our countrymen this life threatening situation. Pray for our leaders  to have discernment of what is good and bad for the people. Please pray that these leaders will come up with a wise decision to stop the spread of the virus. Let's all pray for them, even though we can't stomach the government at this moment. Thank you everyone.

My parents keep messaging me if how I am doing here in manila. Though I'm scared, I always assure them that I'm safe. Uncertainties have been clouding my mind these past few days but my God is alive and He's been my constant comfort in this time of crisis.
