God's Favor

Proclaiming that 2013 is a God's favorable year for my family (from Ptr. Joey's preaching on the 1st Sunday of the year at MM) has its own provision. I encountered plenty of trials on my 3rd year here at KSA but hey, I will not be shaken. No matter what happens, I will pursue my goals independently. ".. if God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31

"May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our 

hands for us -- yes, establish the work of our hands." Psalm 90:17

After having my US Visit Visa, I started dreaming everyday on how does it feel to be in U.S.A. particularly in New York City. I love watching movies and majority of it had scenes in NYC. I became more inspired listening on Alicia Keys' Empire State of Mind and watching a hundred times, my favorite movie Sex and the City. Who doesn't want to go to U.S.A.? If you're given a chance, who doesn't want to go to the Most Popular City in the world, NEW YORK CITY?!

A start of God's favor, having my family's petition after 22 or 25 years from my Auntie's application is truly an American Dream. My Dad gave up his work here in KSA. Started from a very low position and instantly had his great job related to his career. Not boasting on my family, but boasting on what God can do, my Dad is a Filipino Manhattan Boy of NYC. Mommy, our financer stays at home and always believe that God will provide in times of shortcomings and yes, His answer is always right on time. Living in New York City is not a wealth. It includes hard work for you to survive. Everything is expensive so everyone is aiming a good job, enough to pay bills and taxes. A none hard work is a jaw dropping, in short "nga-nga." My sister, whom I'm so proud of is a certified New Yorker, particularly a Manhattan Girl. Majority of people doesn't bring cars in Manhattan due to lack of parking and very expensive comfy parking lots. Ending up on a parallel parking is a mess. They prefer to walk and stand on the Subway. My sister has the guts to conquer a drive in a busy Manhattan. Oh so proud Ate! Being with them is like, God is Awesome! A reunion plus a dream come true vacation.. what a FAVOR from the LORD!

I was given a chance to spend my whole vacation with them. I thank my Beloved for being so supportive in my decision, although we'll not see each other for a long time. Thanks for the love and trust! 

It feels so good to be a visitor. A welcome party, breakfast, lunch, dinner, travel, shopping treats and gifts from my relatives and family's housemates. I'm so overwhelmed! A reunion and a dream come true vacation is more than enough. He made me experience His wondrous favor even more. I thank you so much for their lives Oh Lord! God will surely bless your kind and thoughtful hearts.

FAVOR OF THE LORD by: Israel Houghton and Newbreed

[Verse One:]

It's my season for the favor of the Lord

Soul is thirsty for an outpour

I am standing on the promises of God

Everything he has for me I receive

I am blessed to be a blessing

[Chorus:]

I have a promise a promise from Heaven

It's my season it's my time for the favor of the Lord

[Vamp:]

Pressed down shaken it together

Running over in the favor of God

Pressed down shaken together

Running over running over

Thank you Lord for your immeasurable favor. I don't want to screw up your plans for my life, that's why I'm back to face another extra challenge. All Glory to You Alone! Thanks for reading and watching guys. In order to experience God's favor: have a relationship with Christ, walk in His ways, keep the faith and let Him be the center of everything.
