March 27: The day God sent me a miracle.

Let me share with you a story about a miracle. Something that only God can do in your life, if you let Him:

I’m a junior mass communication student and I have to take my OJT this summer. Before March 27, I was worried for an OJT site. I had a lot of OJT sites in mind. But when I was trying so hard to convince myself to go to two different sites, I felt rather lost than have found where I truly will grow.

Two weeks ago today, I had a conversation with my father about where I should have my OJT. He said that I should be practical about my choices and think about the possibilities if I chose a site that has everything (publication, recording, television, and film). That night, I was convinced that I should choose that pursuit: I am going to send my cover letter and resume to a network.

March 22, I sent in my cover letter and resume to our department at school.

March 23, I went to our youth service and asked my leader to pray for me for my OJT application.

That weekend was definitely the hardest and heaviest weekend I’ve ever had in my college life. I was desperate for a site. I was desperate to have a site accept me. I was desperate to just enter whatever site so that I could finish my OJT.

March 26, It’s almost time for enrollment (March 28). And I still don’t have a site.

I’ve read Max Lucado’s Traveling Light last sembreak; I’ve learned a lot about letting go of the luggages we have in life and I was reminded of this:

“Trust your faith not your feelings”

—God’s Loving Pursuit, Chapter 17

That day I definitely said to myself, “I’m letting this go God, I’m giving it to you.”

That day March 27.

Remember that time when I passed my resume and cover letter? Well, I got a reply from our department. And they were shortlisting the applicants.

Then I posted on Facebook, “They’re shortlisting the applicants for GMA 7! LORD, matanggap man o hindi (whether I get accepted or not), I WILL PRAISE YOU!”

Moments later, our department head texted, “Please be informed that you will have your orientation on March 30 at GMA Network…”

OH MY GOD. IS THIS REALITY?! When I read this message I couldn’t stop shouting and jumping around the house. It was a miracle.

The same day, OMF Lit posted this quote from A.W. Tozer:

I guess letting go of some things in life (like worrying and doubting) is truly helpful in your walk with God. Because when you truly believe in Him and not in yourself, you’ll definitely get the answer from that prayer or that miracle you were asking for.

Today, April 4th, I went to GMA Network to get my Student Trainee ID. I am now an intern and will be starting on April 11th.

Now that, that’s a miracle!
