Blogging Challenge Day 5 : Your Proudest Moment

My proudest moment?

I think aside from surviving everyday, it was the time I got my license as an Architect.

Here it goes..

I stayed in Manila from September 2016 to February 2017, to attend review classes and to be able to focus on reviewing. Months had passed by, I felt hopeless and weak. Overthinking all the possibilities, overthinking what ifs. Every time I come home, I make sure to visit Carmellite Church. Ever since college, this was my go-to Church through happy and sad moments. 

A week before exam days, together with my family, we went to visit Manaoag in Pangasinan. We offered our sincerest prayers and bonded together before going back to Manila. I remember that I even fasted during my review months to offer everything to the Lord.

Night before the first day of exam, my grandfather who is now already in heaven, texted me "Trust yourself and trust the goodness of the Lord for He will not forsake you." I burst into tears and remembered that text until now. Exam Day 1 came, we prayed together with my friends before going to our assigned schools. During the 2-day exam, to be honest, I felt loved, blessed, surrounded with so much prayers. After I submitted my answers on the last subject, I surrendered everything to Him.

After days of lack of sleep, overthinking, anxiousness, at last, after 4 working days, while I went to visit Carmellite with my Anjubebe, I got a phone call. He was congratulating me and I had no idea that results were already released at that time. I checked it online to verify the news, and yes, without any second thought, I thanked God! I offered it to Him. I texted my dad, my sisters, Tang (my grandfather). I called my mom and we were both crying. My heart was so filled with joy that day. My hardwork was all dedicated to my family. After we had a rough year (2016), I pushed myself harder to get that license to motivate my siblings, to uplift them that even though we had one of our biggest trials, I was able to get back on my feet. I was able to uplift my family. I was able to prove to everyone that our family will rise again. 

While writing this, I can still feel the happiness, the emotions that day. 

Lord, thank you for the opportunity to think of this moment and help me be motivated again. I know that I've lost hope and trust to myself. Bless me for tomorrow I will try another job interview. With your aid, I hope I will do my best to ace this one. 

All right then, that was my proudest moment until now. What do you think guys? Tag me if you were inspired because of this. 

Let's try and try! Never lose hope. Thank you for reading my blog. Day 5, eyyyyy!!! KBYE~
