When the time is right, I the Lord will make it Happen.
It was October last year when I started looking back with my dreams. I went through all those dreams l listed since 2020.
Year 2020 when I officially started making my yearly vision board. Aside from my 100 dreams listed in my journal.
That's true! I listed them, I chased them, I worked on these dreams and importantly, I aligned with God's purpose in our lives.
Along the way of chasing, working and fulfilling it, I got lots of breakdowns, tears falling and pains inside me.
Along the way, I got refusals and rejections from other people just to fulfill my dreams and aspirations.
That's why last year when I looked back, I got reminded of my failures, struggles and pains. And so I thought of working on those unfulfilled listed dreams in my journal.
Going outside the Philippines. To Live in a country that seemed to be impossible because of my disability and a single mom. And how????
So I asked the Lord and talked to Him. The message is clear. "My child, I will make it for you. I will help you through. I am your help. Look at my Kingdom, stay here and follow me."
The process started in November. But first I applied in UK, (ambisyosa talaga ako 🤗), I got interviewed but they sought from me a sponsored or dependent visa (wala akong ganito). Moved on to next, I searched and applied in NZ but opportunities for my skills and talents are not in this place.
Moved on to next!
Until one day, one of my friends here in FB world got approved in Canada.
So I searched for more than a month, how and will I be qualified? And what is my biggest why?
Then discernment and decision took place.
And with the help of Ancy Consultancy through Cristine Joy Doruelo Mondejar who guided me what to prepare, who prayed for me and who believed that I can make it and who spoke testimony that God is good and surely, I will make this happen.
To Ms Ancy Jennie thank you for walking through with me and being my tough but sweet admin.
Step by step, aligning my resources all the step and process especially in finances, I took the process smoothly. So faithfully and fervently.
I was amazed how I walked through, and this is all by God's grace. I organised the steps, what and when, from preparing of documents, securing, notarizing (shout out for my beautiful and kind lawyer, Atty Mags) down to medical (too expensive) and all the expenses.
The steps need a lot of "inhale LOVE, exhale PAGOD". A lot of my closest friends witnessed these.
I even got sick in February due to stress. But the Lord is so gracious to strengthen me and I got reminded that all the things that I walked through should be SURRENDERED to HIM.
The journey towards my dreams will not be done without HIS HELP AND GUIDANCE.
And so as I walk through one by one, I PRAY. Even it is hard, I pray. Even the people and my environment seemed to crash me down, I pray. Even some don't believe and mock me, I pray.
God gave me the strength not to revenge, but to FORGIVE.
I met GOOD PEOPLE, few to mention like my ate Minerva who helped me with Gabe's application. She pushed me to include Gabe in my application. She reminded me of my calling being a mom and dad to my son. "Walang maiiwan"
My besty since 1999, Glady and her family. Not to mention, but she and Inang Arsing is playing a great role to this journey.
Our "angel and his family" (outside PH), who helped me with my tuition fee, see you soon manong and thank you very much.
My "kamaritess", my brother Albert Castillo whom Gabe calls Daddy, thank you for those anxiety moments. You are so proud and LOUD. And I am still grateful for that.
And for you who are dreaming, work on it. Take it slow, pray fervently, align your actions to God's words and will, be patient and may you have a surrendering heart. Coz you are not all alone in that journey. You have God and His provisions.
It will be a new journey for us, new TESTS thar surely we will turn it to TESTIMONY, new MESS but with GOD'S PROVISIONS and Guidance, we will make it through.
Coz His Plans and dreams for us are way greater than ours. And now, the time is just right.
Our VISA application for Canada has been approved. Thank God for all the provisions and unending graces.
Soon, matutupad na yung munting pangarap na makakita ng Maple 🍁 🍃 🍂 ☘️, Snow, makakapgsuot ng winter clothes, makarating sa Western countries at sabi ng Iba baka Nandun na si "Mr Right" 🤣 and soon me and Gabe will build a HOME and continue fulfilling my dreams and my CALLING.
Excited na rin akong magcounselling and more babies and mommies to talk and to touch.
Ikaw rin KAPATID, wag ka matakot mangarap.
