This year is a very memorable year for me. It all started when my small group leader, Doc Gen, shared her testimony about her desire to get her masters in the US. It was financially and really just simply impossible. But God came through for her. I was encouraged so I started praying for my career too. My specific prayer was 1. to be promoted, 2. to get free travel courtesy of the company training. I prayed for New Zealand and Australia after seeing a lot of the pictures of my Facebook friend, Tracy, who currently lives in New Zealand. I find these places very beautiful because of its landscapes.
I prayed ceaselessly and even added a prayer widget on my phone. In August, I was promoted. And still the prayers continued asking God to take me to New Zealand or Australia courtesy of my company.
One day I was 4 hours early at work and decided to find an empty conference room to pray. For some reason I uttered the words, “Sige, Lord, kahit US pwede na.” (Ok, Lord, US will do) and didn’t give it much thought. Two hours after that prayer, my VP called me up for a meeting and informed me to start preparing because they are sending me to the US by October.
So in the next posts I will be documenting this trip highlighting the grace of God all over. It was my first international travel, I want to keep going back and relive everything.
