ANOTHER PROOF OF GOD'S FAITHFULNESS

THE LORD IS FAITHFUL TO HIS PROMISES - Psalm 145:13

Today's activity was the releasing of clearance for graduating students at school. It was the moment every one was waiting for because we would know if we would all be cleared for graduating (which would definitely lessen the tension while waiting for graduation), plus, we would be informed through the small clearance slip if we would be graduating with or without honors.

I and my family have been praying for this achievement. However, if I failed to have this, it's still all right. Ever since I was a child I learned to value accomplishing my studies with honors. I didn't want to "just" accomplish things, I wanted to achieve something, something that would be an evidence of His faithfulness to me that I would definitely give all the praises and glory back to the Lord, the One who has been my partner in these chapters of my life. During my four years of study in college, He has been my guide and He knew all the hardships, challenges, and experiences I've undergone. I really thank Him for everything.

At the receiving room, I got nervous as there were only four students left before me on the queue. I was very glad for my two closest friends (the two students before me) when they received their clearance slips together with the announcement of the tourism chairperson "cum laude". 

Then, it was my turn. Confirmation of my full name, Isabelle Cruz Cortes. Yes Sir, Cortes with the S. You attended the graduation briefing? Yes, Sir. Done with Student Satisfaction Survey? Yes, Sir. He wrote my name on the clearance slip, stamped "CLEARED" on it, and gave it to me with these following words.."cum laude".

I JUST PRAISE AND THANK GOD FOR THIS WONDERFUL BLESSING. THIS IS ANOTHER TESTIMONY OF HOW FAITHFUL HE IS TO HIS PROMISES (PSALM 145:13). HE KNOWS THE DESIRES OF MY HEART AND I KNOW THAT IF I CONTINUE TO REMAIN A FAITHFUL AND COMMITTED SERVANT, HE WILL BLESS ME MORE AND MORE.

NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE MY FEELINGS RIGHT NOW. I AM JUST SPEECHLESS OF THIS ANOTHER BLESSING FROM THE LORD. HE HAS PROVEN A LOT TO ME AND THIS TIME IT IS MY MOMENT TO GIVE BACK ALL THE PRAISES AND THANKSGIVING UNTO HIM ALONE. HE DESERVES ALL THE PRAISES!!

I couldn't wait to tell it to my parents! Yey!
