GOD answers those who call unto Him -Jeremiah 33:3.

One of the activities that keep me busy these days is communicating.  I usually send 3 to 5 emails per day other than my usual face book messages which reach about fifty. I send emails to various people, group, organizations and institutions reaching out for help, for prayers, for medical assessment, for possible re-evaluation, for medical assistance, for referrals, for legal advice on benefits and rights, for financial assistance, for emotional support and to give thanks. This is in line with my prayer request to be guided to the right person, institution and facility that will help us.

As the saying goes, "When you ask for the rain, be sure to till your soil." So if I am expecting help, I should seek help and be ready to accept it. 

Today, I received an email from One ThingAlone. It is a reply for one of the many that I have sent this week. More than a typical computer generated reply, it is a personal message that touched my heart — another group of people praying for Glenn's recovery and another verse of God's faithfulness. 

Please know that my team and I will be praying for you by name in the days and weeks to come.

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. (1 John 5:14). 
I would love to hear updates and how God is moving in your life. Also, if there’s anything we can do to help going forward, please feel free to reach out and let us know!  

Yesterday, Glenn and I were visited by the Social Welfare Attaché, Assistance to Nationals Representative, and Commission on Human Rights Representative. That was the action taken in response to the letter that I emailed to our President, Honourable Rodrigo Duterte via PACE (Presidential Action Center). We discussed my concerns and they gave me some advice and options regarding our situation.  

The other day, my niece from a soul sister sang "Tomorrow" for Tito Glenn. She reminded me that 

When I'm stuck with a day that's grey and lonely

I just stick up my chin and grin and say oh

The sun will come out tomorrow

So you got to hang on 'til tomorrow, come what may!

And it’s been a month now since our kids started singing "Get Back Up Again" over and over.

Hey! 

I’m not giving up today

There's nothing getting in my way

And if you knock knock me over

I will get back up again

Oh!

If something goes a little wrong

Well you can go ahead and bring it on

'Cause if you knock knock me over, I will get back up again.

Truly, GOD answers those who call unto Him -Jeremiah 33:3.

His messages this week are not just answers to my prayers but also reminders on how to have a positive outlook in facing life’s challenges. He is telling me not to give up even when days are lonely. That if life does knock me over, I should always get back up and be ready for tomorrow’s sunshine because —

Inwardly, we are being renewed day by day. –2 Corinthians 4:16

So when life gets tough, never cease praying. GOD answers  — through the Scriptures, through our loved ones, through friends, through kids, and through strangers.  We just have to keep our faith and hopes high, and our hearts open.
