God is Listening Just Wait for His Timing





I still remember way back when I was in high school, I pray to God every night. It’s not a good night prayer and a simple thank you. I tell you, the conversation was deep, I cried, in one of the 4 corners of my grandmother’s room with a wide-open vintage window with lights turned-off.
Why I do that?
Every time I pray that way, it makes me feel refresh, reborn, as if the brand new day cannot wait to give me its surprise.
And of course, I feel loved.
In that dark room I don’t feel alone. I sense that God is there sitting with me too. Listening with all ears.
I prayed that someday I’ll be on class’ top 10 even in one subject. I became top 1 in our Home Economics for 3 consecutive gradings. And top 3 overall.
I prayed for a cellphone, my first cellphone was an ALCATEL with an orange backlight and look like a soap… not too good, it’s only for texts and calls. By that time 8210 was in demand and hot. So I hide my ALCATEL often when I’m texting.
I prayed that someday I’ll have my own personal computer. (suntok sa buwan) because in reality I knew I can’t afford to by one.
I prayed for my lifetime partner. So when the man named Jeff courted me, (a Christian) I thought he’s the one I prayed for.
I prayed that someday my mother will be proud of me, because she’ll be walking on stage to award me a medal. I prayed to God that special awards will do.
I prayed that someday I can be a secretary (mababa lang ako mangarap) because I want to work in an office.
I prayed.
I counted days, months and years.
Guests what.
All prayers are answered. Not in the version I have prayed for, but  in GREAT VERSION I have never imagined.
Now I have 3 cellphones. But I use the simplest one with no camera. And the 2 with cameras? (in my drawer)
How about the personal computer? I have now my personal laptop, and a PC at home. (we actually have 2 laptops one for my hubby and the other one is forme) and 20 other PCs. Yes 20 computers, because my hubby owns a computer shop.
My relationship with Jeff didn’t last long. But God gave me better and greater than him. (My Hubby)
Iprayed for  a special award or distinction award. God made me a CUMLAUDE.
And today I’m working in an office, but not ordinary office, I work as a writer, cartoonist in Mayor’s Department.
Isn’t it great? No. I mean G R E A T….
In my experience, I have learned that God has His own way of timing. He listens to your prayers and if you have the courage to wait and faith for it to happen… it will, in God’s version. It’s a huge blessing you can ever imagine.
