San aabot ang dalawang daan ($4) mo?

My recent financial struggles is no joke. I am still calm compared to my old self tho, and I am thankful for that. If my old self experience this, maybe I went hysterical and will rely on myself. I already shared before that every week I go to Sipocot church during Saturday (youth fellowship) and Sunday to gain spiritual food and feed my spirit. I have to travel an hour or so to reach the church building, as it is located at the neighboring province.

Usually I would save up using my noise cash earnings every week to use it as my travel fare and also food allowance. So most of the time, I have 500 pesos or 10 dollars every time I'll go there. 200 pesos for bus fare (back and forth), the remaining become my budget for the rest of the week.

Actually, when I spend my Saturday and Sunday at the Church Building and also to one of my brethren's house, I don't worry about my food and where I sleep, because my sisters' in Christ let me spend the night in their house and give me food. That's why sometimes mom don't want to allow me going to church because she's not fine with the thought of me eating at someone else's place for free every week.

Someone (you) may think, why do I have to travel such a faraway land just to attend church, while there are a lot of churches near my area. Because I don't go to random Church building out of convenience. Church is not a place but people. Those people who are in Christ. So, regardless of the distance I will travel to visit people of God, have fellowship with them, and together eat spiritual food through sermons which are based from Words of God-Bible.

But now, as I've said I am in deep financial struggle that will really shake someone if I'll tell you how much I badly need haha. I can still laugh tho because God is with me and I can definitely feel His help and goodness during this tough times. Even though money is a problem right now, I make sure that I have enough money to travel so I can go to Sipocot Church. God still allowed me to have enough, ₱200 ($4) I will spend ₱100 going and ₱100 coming back home. Saktong sakto, pero sobra ang pag-ibig ng Diyos.

Saan aabot ang ₱200 ko? Sa malayong lugar pero malapit sa Salita ng Panginoon.

It's not the matter of distance and money that I have, it's always the matter of the heart.
