Something to thank Him for…

February 28th, 2008 Shobe_ceo

The past few days have been super super stressing for me on almost all ends of my life. School cramming since finals is a month away and all teachers are scheduling special or make-up classes to cover the required readings and lessons for the exam. Work is fully-loaded on trying to reach the goal. Brother bugging on celphone line. Pray and support on Bebe’s job training. And many other concerns to deal with. But a recent event wiped off all the stress.

My application for scholarship was granted! (on the condition that I maintain a QPI of not lower than 82%; note: 85% qualifies for dean’s list…so it is a challenge) The scholarship grant was partial, but that still means a lot to me.

I’ve been applying for scholarship since college and God knows how hard it is to accomplish the forms, on top of the regular school load that I had to attend to. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting that this application will be granted, since I’m used to being rejected with my applications at the Loyola school because of my dad’s income tax return (ITR). But as the saying goes, ‘never say die’….’try and try until you die’…I tried my luck last semester and applied for a scholarship (using my own ITR, since I support my own studies and since dad has retired). And to my surprise, I got the approval of my application yesterday.

This only shows the power of prayer, patience, and of God. So for those who so want something in their life, don’t lose hope…He’s just waiting for the perfect time. And don’t be afraid to try! Be patient and bug Him every now and then with what you’re praying for. (Marunong din ciang makulitan..hehe)

As closing, I’ll share the Memorare prayer to the Immaculate Mother. This prayer has been my comfort prayer and refuge in times of distress. I recite this every after personal prayer until I memorized it. Here it goes:

Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, and sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I hasten to you O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the world incarnate, do not despise my petition, but in your mercy (Lord), hear and answer me. Amen.
