“From Struggles to Strength: My Unexpected Experience of Faith and Family”

"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny"— C.S. Lewis

"Out of difficulties grow miracles"— Jean de La Bruyère

Hello, hello, good day, hivers!! It's me again, your @laizelly. They say we can't avoid what should be avoided because it will happen, it will be happen.

Holla I want to share with you my experience that I didn't expect to happen in my life. Thank you Lord because he gave me a new life that I need to protect and cherish. He also gave me guidance so that I wouldn't give up on the trials I faced at the time when I didn't know what to do.

I want to pursue my dreams and, my course in college, do it for my family and for him, but I think this school year I didn't know if I could go to college because of financial problems.

(My two sisters,grade 4 and kindergarten)

(Princess Grade 10 students)

I have 3 sisters in grades 10, 4, and kindergarten. Their materials in school are very expensive, especially their school uniforms. College is still a long way off, so I decided to find a job first so I could supplement my tuition and the materials needed of my sisters. It's very hard to make a decision HUHU.

First, me and ate try to work in Store name is "tindahan ni batang", it is very simple but it feel so tired. We woke up at 3:30 a.m in the morning because we need to prepare ourselves before we go at 4:30 a.m. When we came to store I started cleaning inside and outside. I sweep and mop the floor, and my other colleagues are bringing out goods like vegetables and tray eggs. We have a two store one is SARI—SARI STORE and the another store is vegetables, rice, hotdogs etc. We can't use our cellphone in work. The time we get home is around 8 or 9 at night. It's tiring because you don't have a break all day and the boss is also grumpy. Sometimes he only sees your mistakes rather than what you've done. One person's fault is everyone's fault. Yes, we learn different lessons from every mistake and there are things we know that we can still fix.

I take some photo of me while there's nothing to do yet. I just put my cellphone away for a moment. HAHA, just kidding. Of course, I ask permission before I used it.

But something happened to me that I didn't expect, I got sick suddenly, the kind that makes you feel like you've caused a big problem again. We don't have any money yet because life is hard and we still have to work hard. When I got sick, I suddenly stopped working so my sister was the only one left at our workplace.
As time went on, I feel pain from my chest and to my stomach, I felt so sad every time I saw my mom and dad worrying me. We don't have any money yet because my dad's income is just enough for our daily needs, and my sister's salary is still farthermore or still monthly.

But thank god because I also have a bf who worries about me HEHE. by the way I have a bf who is always there whenever I feel like I'm losing the world we are both legally the same. when he found out that I got sick he didn't even think twice to send me and he also told mom to get me check up. He paid for all my expenses and medicines I'm so happy because he's always there whenever I need him and mom is also very impressed with him even though we are far from each other the love and memories we made never fade.

let's go back after I got checked the result came out that my acid level was high they gave me a piece of paper with a letter saying I can and can't eat. but to me whichever one is forbidden is the one that tastes good HAHA kidding. The doctor gave me a medicine.

I took medicine all the time until I recovered. I always thank God and my family and him for taking care of me. I couldn't go back to my work because of the long days I couldn't go in. And I feel so sad for what unexpected happened because when I started, then I couldn't finish it, but I was also happy because my sister was still working there to help our mom and dad. My boyfriend always asks me "kung kamusta na ba ako" every time we talk, whether on chat or video call.

Life is so really difficult, we don't know what will happen in the future or the unexpected happened in our life, but we shouldn't give up because there are still people waiting and loving us. Whatever challenges or difficulties we go through, we can solve them with trust in the lord God, he is always there to guide and love us bo matter happen. And always remember, God does not give us a test that we cannot solve or find a solution to.
