Go to God through His Word. Let it take over your thoughts and mend the anxiety in your soul that settles under the surface. Choose to give Him your fear. Trust Him to save you. ~JessicaPenick #YouVersion https://www.instagram.com/p/CBtt2DyDZ3-2qrC0pfrVzoz_ZG-G6jji4MBDGI0/?igshid=19stprldzq4h8

Hope In The Storm

Giving birth is not an easy thing. My Aunt once said, a woman's foot is in the pit when giving birth. This saying would cause any woman to feel fear. Allow me to share with you how God amazingly demonstrated His calming power during one of the most important event of my life. We haven’t thought of a name for our baby until I reached the 7th month of my pregnancy. As Jeric reads the bible, he thought of naming our baby “Emmanuel” derived from Matthew 1:23 stating “They shall call His name Emmanuel (which is translated, God with us)”. It was in September 26, 2009 when I gave birth to my one and only son. It was also during that time when bagyong ondoy made its landfall which caused flooding in wide areas of Northern Philippines and Metro Manila. Early morning on that day, Jeric already decided not to go to work because he has the feeling that anytime soon, I'm about to give birth. He went out for a moment to borrow his best friend’s car just to make sure everything is ready while I was left at home with my Mama Lorna. As I wait for the time when my precious offspring will come out, I turned on the television. To my surprise, Marcos Hiway was like a raging river. I got nervous as I saw people tightly holding on to trees as they try to fight mighty flood currents. I felt sorry hearing that some people were already swept away by the flood and died. Then I thought, what a blessing in disguise that I am giving birth today coz if it's not for my child's birth, Jeric might went out for work and might be one of those who were in the middle of the flood. Later in the afternoon, there was a power outage. As my labor pain increases and spots of blood were coming out of me, we have decided to go to a maternity clinic located in Antipolo. While in the car, I kept on whispering "God, please take care of my baby". While passing through Sumulong Hiway, it was another blessing in disguise that a motorcycle overtook our way for if it did not, we might have banged against the landslide in front which was unnoticeable due to dark surroundings. Because the road was not passable at all, we turned around, passed through the Blue Mountains Residential Estate out to Antipolo Police Sub-Station Check Point at Olalia Road and arrived to the clinic safely. We did not think that there was also a power outage in that part of town, but even so, we still went inside the clinic and Jeric immediately asked the personnel how much the cost of my delivery would be. While they were talking, a nurse came and assisted me to bed so she could do a dilation check. Afterwards, I went out of the room. Jeric came to me and whispered "Kulang ang pera natin". I could not focus much on monetary issues that time because of my labor pains but as I looked at my husband, I saw worry grew in his face. But God's grace was never out of the scene that day as the clinic's personnel said "Try nyo sa Antipolo District Hospital, mura lang maningil dun! Kaya pa yan!” And suddenly there was hope in my husband's face. We immediately went our way to the said hospital and as we travel, I have the same prayer in my head, "God, please take care of my baby!" It was about 7:00PM when we arrived safely. The nurse on duty asked information about me and my pregnancy. She asked for a copy of my ultrasound which I unfortunately left at home. I noticed that the nurse got a little bit annoyed, all I do was wonder why. But despite all the unfortunate events, the nurse took me in. I was admitted and when my time to deliver finally came, the nurse assisted me to the delivery room. Inside, my prayer was still the same, "God, please take care of my baby". There were only three people inside the delivery room. The midwife, the aide and me. I had a hard time pushing because I don't know how to. It was my first time, you know! (Haha). I came to a point where I said "Lord, parang di ko na po kaya, Masi-CS po ba 'ko? Wala po kaming pera". Then another person came in. She gently rubbed my belly and said "pagod ka na? relax ka lang, pag humilab, exhale with your nose not with your mouth". And so, I took a deep breath, with all the instructions in my head, the prayers in my heart and the remaining strength in my body, I pushed my baby out. It was exactly 9:35PM when suddenly a loud cry filled the room. For the first time, I saw and heard Emmanuel Jeriz Nava cried. It was the most unforgettable cry yet the most wonderful music to my ear. Right after I delivered, women also about give birth came in to the room one by one. Then I was transferred in the ward. There, Jeric told me a story, he said that the guard on duty told him how lucky I was that there was no one else about to give birth that time except me otherwise I will be rejected due to lack of hospital records. I know in my heart that that wasn’t luck. Truly, as the name "Emmanuel" states, God is with us for it was by God's grace alone that despite the extremely bad weather, I was calm the whole travel times. It was by God's grace alone that I was accepted in that hospital without any records. It was God’s perfect orchestration that made me and my son well and safe. Despite my numerous rejections of God’s calling, He still chose demonstrate His grace to me. This amazing experience has caused me to have the desire to teach my son the ways of the Lord so that when my time to depart comes, my son would be able to stand firm in his faith in God. Also, it has caused me to pray a new prayer: “God, if You are willing, please allow me to witness my son serve and love you with all his heart.” I am Rizza Nava. A continuous work in progress, guided and accepted by God through faith in Jesus Christ. To God be the glory!
