Prayer Answered

This is going to be a quick post. I've been praying for quite a while for a condo unit here in Ortigas. I don't have enough money for a big place so I was resigned to just getting a studio, which I wanted to share with someone. But I kept on postponing looking for a unit to rent because I'm not really sure how I can afford everything on my meager salary. There are debts to settle and my mobile phone bill to pay every month. Plus, if I start living on my own, I need to pay for electricity, water, and cable. And I'd have to trouble my mom to ask her to buy me the necessities, like a refrigerator, a microwave oven, a bed, etc...

Yesterday, I attended my first leadership meeting with Ate Eden's group. There was a chance for me to join her group earlier but because there were hindrances (my own selfish motive being one of them), I only joined yesterday. God certainly rearranged things so that there would be no reason for me not to join the group. And guess what! Ate Eden, during prayer requests, asked that we pray for someone to occupy one room in her 3-br condo unit at AIC. It's just a small room, but it has its own bathroom. There's a sala for everyone, a TV with cable, a refrigerator. In other words, all I need to bring are my clothes, my books, my VCDs and myself! But I'm planning also to bring my TV and a DVD player because you folks know how much of a movie freak I am. And the great part is that the rent is only 5k all in -- no elecricity, water or cable bills to pay! That's a great deal! Plus, my housemates will all be from church so my mom doesn't need to worry about me getting mixed up with people with questionable values. It's great, it's great! So, I'm checking it out this week. Will tell you more about it soon.

Ang saya! The first thing you did on your 27th birthday is to live on your own! Very grown-up, I say! Congrats!
Hay... sometimes I still wish I can live in my very own place, too. I want to buy a house na kasi, eh! But you'll have fun I'm sure!
Don't worry about anything, Ro. Basta remember na mag-tithes ka lagi and God will make all your money problems disappear!

I'm scared na nga eh. I'm moving in sa December. The place is super small but it's a start. I'm scared because I've never been sort of on my own before. Scary but exciting and yes, it does feel grown up. :) I never forget to give my tithes, first fruits talaga. I sure don't want to be not blessed.
