God will make a way where there seems to be no way

This morning at the church service, we sang "God will make a way". This song reminded of my difficulties I had in the past. During those times, I think that there's no way I could ever get out of my situation. Yes, I pray, but it seems that the circumstances was not getting any better. One day while in a jeep going home. I sang this song. ♫♫♫ God will make a way where there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me. ♫♫♫ This song gives me hope in the midst of my difficulties. It reminds me that even when I'm unaware of it, God is making a way. I may think that there's no way for my situation to get any better but the song told me otherwise. Even when there seems to be no way, God will make a way. It's true, while waiting for God to deliver me from my difficulties I continue on praying. And you know what's amazing??? Right now I'm no longer in that difficulties for God had really made a way for me. Let me just tell you that God's way is far better, awesome and amazing than the solutions I had in my mind during those times. And I'm really am so grateful for my Father God for making things well for me. Anyway here's the lyrics of the song God will make a way.
God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength
For each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way

By a roadway in the wilderness
He'll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade
But His Word will still remain
He will do something new today
So if you think that there's no way out with your situation, think again. God will make away where there seems to be no way. Trust God. We may not understand what's happening around us but we can trust that God had a purpose why things happened.

Few things that I'm going to miss

Tomorrow will be my last day of work at my second job and sure I'm going to miss a few things there. I'm happy that I'm going to start another chapter of my life with my new job. But it's inevitable that I'm going to miss some few thing with my second job. I've been with my second job for more than a year now, actually to be exact, I've been with them one year, nine months and fifteen days. With my stay there, there are a lot of memories that I will carry with me, both happy and sad memories. It's unavoidable that there would be some sad moments like misunderstanding within the office. But I rather choose to keep and to remember only the happy memories I had with them. Here are the few things that I'm going to miss with my second job, my soon to be former job:
  • The laughter, jokes (the laughter we had when we are having our lunch or meriendas, the laughter we had during busy season).
  • The long Christmas break (Unlike other company and firm we have long Christmas break as long as we have no pending work, I hope with my new job it's also the same)
  • The travel. (With my second job, I got to go to far places alone, I'm going to miss the adventure of travelling alone in far places).
  • Work (I'll miss what I had been doing with my second job).
  • Lastly I will miss those people who in a short time become part of my life, who in a short time become my friends.

Have a grateful heart not a complaining one



Today is my first day of work from my new job though I'm still working to my soon to be former job. Let me explain that statement, I already resign from my work but because of the one month rule of the Labor code I still need to work there for a month.  Since my working day from my soon to be former job is until Friday I was able to go to my new work today. My first day, the weather is rainy. Actually it is raining since yesterday. I don't know how to interpret this rainy day. Is it a good sign or not? I remember that my interview from that job was also on a rainy Saturday but the interview didn't push thru and it's because of the heavy rain during that time. I can't say that I'm happy because I was a little disappointed, things were not what I had expected. Honestly I prefer my work(what I'm doing) with my soon to be former job compare to what I'm doing to my new job. I'm such a bad person, I was praying to God for this job and when He already gave it to me, what did God get in return? Instead of hearing a thanks from me, He hears disappointment. Was God happy from my actions? I don't think so. Instead of being discontented, be thankful, have a grateful heart not a complaining heart. If God wants me to have that kind of job what is that to me. God knows best. He only gives what best for us. God knows me more than I know my self.
