No one on earth should give glory to himself for all the glory must be to the Lord.
October 15, 2012 Exactly two years from now but I can still recall that day, the longest day of my life. The day when the result of the exam will be finally release. Even though Im comfortably sitting in the church, my heart beats like Im running in marathon. Im waiting for a single text or call from someone whom I asked to bravely told me the result whether passed or failed. Around 2:30pm, people already yelling and crying in church, "Totoo ba CPA na ako?!" That's what I heard from someone then I looked at my phone, not ringing and no text at all. I kneeled again and pray then I asked myself "Iiyak na ba ako? Bakit walang tumatawag sa akin? My heart beats faster and faster in every tick of the clock, I'm starting to lose hope. And finally, my phone rang. Someone on the other line was on a very low and calm voice. He keeps on repeating my name. Then I uttered, "Ano ba pasado ba ako??!! Okay lang sabihin mo na kung hindi." He shouted "Congrats! CPA ka na!". Tears start to fall on my eyes. I kneeled again and pray to thank God for answering my prayers. I went outside the church and still I cant control the tears falling on my eyes. My family and friends called to congratulate me. I rushed in the nearest internet cafe shop to post the status that Ive been wanting to post since my first year college. "CPA NA AKO!" Caps lock para intense. Hahahahah

It is so easy to just lose hope and throw my faith in the abyss. I could make myself believe that I have a good reason to question and put blame on Him. For a moment, as I stare at my laptop, I think of what could be the reason why He allowed it. And why did He let it happen for the second time. Then I realized that I am not in the position to ask those kind of questions. I have not been faithful and obedient to just throw questions in the omniscience of God. Have I been faithful and obedient, I will not have those questions in my head but I will be unfazed. I know that this is just a minor setback. My God can do more in my life. He is not just a god whom I will come to in time of examination. My life's journey is not just about this, but how God is able to use me for the good things He set for me.
This failure is sweeter the second time around. I will not try to deny how painful it is, but the sweetness coming from this bitter event makes this easier to carry. God's love and grace is undoubtedly beyond what our minds can imagine. Three things I am sure of: (1) God makes no mistakes, (2) He makes ALL things beautiful in His time, & (3) In ALL things, He is worthy of glory and praise.
And that after every testing, may I be purified as gold. :)
God never moves without purpose or plan When trying His servant and molding a man. Give thanks to the LORD though your testing seems long; In darkness He giveth a song. I could not see through the shadows ahead; So I looked at the cross of my Savior instead. I bowed to the will of the Master that day; Then peace came and tears fled away. Now I can see testing comes from above; God strengthens His children and purges in love. My Father knows best, and I trust in His care; Through purging more fruit I will bear. O Rejoice in the LORD He makes no mistake, He knoweth the end of each path that I take, For when I am tried And purified, I shall come forth as gold.
