17th June 2009, 4:30 pm, I rang up my lawyer and asked "Did you settle?" He had a very long pause and replied, "No." I almost did not breath until he laughed from the other end of the line retracting what he just said. "I mean, yes, we did. I just would like to know if there will be a sound at your end if I will say no." Thank God. It's been very stressful 5 years for me and I am so thankful that the drama is finally over. This is start of a new life for me. A turning point. Although I owe bank a lot of money, I know that all this will be mine. Everything I worked hard for is saved. All I have to do now is to be focused on everything I do and continue the passion I have for what I am doing.
Looking back, I was so stressed those long years but the presence and support from my family and good friends made things bearable for me - they saw me cry, took care of me when I was sick, comforted me when I was so down, listened to me when I was so confused. I am thankful too to the priests who prayed for me and gave me wise advices. They are the ones who had helped me survive all the pain I had. I treasure them and hoping I can show how sincerely I would like to thank them.
The way my parents had raised me is one of the best factor that lead to this result. I was raised by parents who fear and trust God. When things were not bearable anymore, family and friends were there for support but God has lifted my spirit and pushed me to trust in Him. Nothing is impossible if we just call upon Him,and hold on to His promise that never will He abandon us. Witnessing to the greatness of God, I have asked Him to stay with me all the time. I invited Him to be a partner in everything I do, everything I venture with. That He guide me in all decisions I make and forgive me should I make mistake or should I sin. Everytime I am in doubt, I always pray. I tell him how confused I am. That I am leaving to him everything. That if there are mistakes in the decisions I will make, I am pleading him correct them.
I remember my banker asked me, if I think doing what I did is fair for me. I answered him that I honestly do not feel that it is fair for me. But I always believe that God never sleeps. God never blinks. He'll make things fair for me. And that is enough for me to feel that I have made the right decision.
