Disclaimer: I'm sorry for the raw and unliterary way I composed this but this story has to be told through numbers. Pardon me as well if I'm gonna spill my financial guts to you but I'm not here to induce pity (though I can't blame you if you do). I just discovered that our resources may not be found in the numbers from our ATM slip. Note how I repeatedly used the word "suddenly". I don't expect you to readily make any sense out of it. Who said miracles are easy to figure out anyway?
Situation Background: September 14 My short film will be aired later and the interview just finished. They said I'm gonna get an honorarium for airing my short film. Asa pa ako kung makuha ko agad yun.

Sept 18 status quo but broadcast company suddenly called telling me I can get my 3,000 honorarium tomorrow. Akalain mo!

Sept 21 Was able to pay our rent and insurance premium in 7 days.
Finish Line! May allowance pa!
And something extra: By the way, a day after, our church friend told us some anonymous being wants to sponsor P500 worth of our groceries. We haven't been telling anyone about this race we're in but I guess the Lord spoke to that gracious being to shoulder our week's food. How unbelievable is that?
So how do you raise 12.5K in 7 days?
I don't know. But it will happen if the Financier knows you need it. Are you really asking the Lord to be more real and closer to you?
Brace yourself.
You just bought a ticket to the most terrifying yet most thrilling ride of your life. It's soooo good, it feels like flying.
