June 9 2006, I was 26, I got my bag stolen in Bangkok and for almost a month I've wandered the city's streets without food and money to supply my basic needs...I moved around without meeting a fellow... one dawn, i went to chao phraya river and thought of eternal rest... when, suddenly, I felt the presence of God...and there He taught me a lesson on never giving up ...through the weeds that float along the banks of the river. These plants struggled to live in the dirt, oil choked, and lifeless-looking river and yes, fish thrived in them, as seen thru kids who went fishing near them...They were loved...i prayed for forgiveness that day,and I asked for a renewed life...I soon met a christian friend who helped me seek God more...Untill, a friend helped me find the philipppine embassy where I was given some money to buy food and ticket to take me back to the south where i worked. I will never forget that time...I felt God and held on..........have you ever felt god's presence in some unnatural way as this?

Life is not easy when you are a single mother, but I feel that God has been with me during all my difficult times. He does answer prayers when we seek Him. And He has helped me overcome all the problems that I am facing. He has made me to be strong in going through my everyday life. If I have not known Him, I really don't know where I will be today.

good to know you held on...He won't leave you nor forsake you, just call on Him and He is always there to lead you to still waters, where he shall wash the pain and quench the thirst of your soul...God is good.
