Trust when your skies are darkening,
Trust when your light grows dim,
Trust when the shadows gather,
Trust and look up to HIM.

Dearest Manong Andy,
My apologies for responding only now. Actually, I intentionally did not respond to you on FB the other day. I saw your message however I am at the height of enjoying the Lord’s presence at that time. I am actually excited to share with you those passages that have been given to me by the Lord during those times of refreshing…
After I told you about the court order I received the other day that got me so scared and so afraid that I felt almost dying. I called Doms for help and begged and cried for him however he responded so coldly and even wanted me to end up in jail. I felt so hopeless by that time, there was no good response I got from him. Nothing at all but hatred, anger, curses, and hurtful words. I was so down and got no comfort. You told me to seek the Lord which I did and HE has been so faithful and true. I’ve got countless nights where I wake up in the middle of my sleep still thinking of what I need to do and I continue to pray. Then while praying HE gave me this verse that gives me comfort and peace Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I be afraid. I kept pondering on that verse then came another one that made my spirit up. Jeremiah 24:1-12 the promises of the LORD as Jeremiah has been asked on what he saw in the basket. This made me cry on my knees. I am a child of GOD, yet here I am been shaken by a little trial that comes my way. I have a GREAT GOD, the maker of heaven and earth who will uphold me at this time. The LORD showed me great wonders and gave me peace. Just like in old times, in a world of real dangers, GOD had given Israel a reason to trust HIM in Jerusalem. Just like now in my life, the LORD ALMIGHTY showed me how to live in the security of HIS shadow, rather than fear of my own making.
I am at peace and as I am kept in HIS presence I know HE will lead me on the right track all I need is to trust HIM and let HIM be GOD in my life. Remember I felt the need to accept the offer to work in HONG KONG, but the LORD told me it was not the answer and I trust HIM. I know, you will do palm face again after reading this and will say how stubborn and shallow I am. Too old in the LORD still acts like a baby Christian… our walk is indeed very different and I may be not like you, but the Lord knows my heart…
About Doms, I forgive him… the Lord shows me that he does not really deserve me after all that we have been through. It is so sad that his attitude over the years is just the same… but still, I am thankful to the LORD Almighty for giving Doms to me through this relationship of ours I was able to exercise what love really is as what it says in 1Cor13. I have no regrets and my children are such a blessing that adds color to my life every day.
In Christ,
iSTar
