Hello my fellow read.cash mates. Since today is a Sunday and the Sabbath. I wish to share to you my experience about how our heartfelt prayers are being answered. I think almost all of my posts here involves all about my testimonies on how God hears and answers my prayers. I want to share these kinds of experiences based on my own life so I can share to others that God Lives, He truly does and that He is real and He is mindful of us. I want to be a light to others who thinks they are in a deep pit, in a dark tunnel with no way out. For those who are having problems, seeking for guidance and answers. All my stories and articles are proofs that when you pray fervently with the right and good intentions. God will truly answer your prayers.

This happened a few years back, Since it is almost my son's birthday which is on August 20th, five days from now. I remembered when my Angelo will turn six years old. I resigned from my work of ten years when he was 4 years old. I used to work in A Hotel and Casino here in my city. I was in the Finance Department, back office. Months before my son's 6th birthday, I think it was March of 2008. I prayed to the Lord that I may be able to give my son a birthday party. My husband and I really never had a birthday party for my son because that time we were paying his Insurance under semi-annual payment which was really a bit heavy on the budget since the coverage is a bit big. Plus every time my son will have his birthday, a month before his celebration he always gets sick and will be hospitalized. This happened since the time he will be one year old and it kept on repeating until he turned seven years old. We really don't know why this was happening at that time. So, there I was already praying so hard that my son will not get sick and will not be hospitalized before his 6th birthday. May 2008 he got sick of amoebiasis and we stayed in the hospital for a week. Still I kept on praying that before his birthday he will be well. I kept praying to the Lord that I will be able to give him a simple birthday bash but since I don't have work that time and this year 2008 was the last year for our Insurance payment so it meant not having a birthday party for my son. I remained faithful to my prayers and stayed active on my church callings and activities. Then one day, June 2008, I received a call from my sister who also works in the casino told me that the friend of his Taiwanese boss who is a casino junket operator needs an Executive Assistant. She told her boss that she recommends me to work for his friend a fellow Casino junket operator as well. The job is just for two months which I was really happy because it was like I will just have a sideline for I cannot do the job full time since I need to take care of my Angelo.

The Job

Just to give you an overview of the terms. Let me give you some background of what junkets are and the role of a casino junket operator and how important they are to a particular casino.

In the casino world, junkets describe trips for high rollers and other VIP customers to a particular gambling facility. Casinos pay for a part of the travel cost – or even the whole sum.

The idea of these trips is to bring in big spenders to a particular casino. The trips ensure that their gambling expenses more than cover any freebie they attain, as well as their VIP treatment.

Why are Junket Operators important to Casinos?

Junket operators are best described as a mixture of a travel agency, VIP hospitality service, and semi-banking firms.

These companies have the objective of reaching out to high rollers and provide them with specialized offers to come and gamble at a particular casino.

On that trip, the high rollers can get free travel and accommodation, personalized service and many other perks. In return, the gamblers guarantee a certain level of gambling commitment, like a deposit.

Here, the banking service junket operators provide comes to the forefront. These companies also bankroll their clients and lend money for their gambling activity.

Once the trip is over, the same companies are responsible for collecting debts. As this takes place, junket operators take on their profits from commissions on VIP spending during the trips, as well as debt interests and so forth.

Depending on the targeted demographic of a particular casino or gambling hub, junket operators can be anywhere between useful to completely critical to casino operators. (source: slots.casino.co.uk)

So, back to my story. I sent my resume and the following day I was hired. I worked in the office and from time to time inside the casino checking the treasury and its operations. To my surprise the job was really very light. I just have to oversee the staffs working in the casino. Since the operations was just a trial one.

My overflowing Gratitude

I was really, really grateful. I was stunned by the pay, like for two months I will earn P60k. What?! more than what I prayed for. I just prayed for giving my son a simple birthday party and indeed God gave me so much more. I was not expecting for the blessings. It really poured. God heard my prayer and he knows my intentions were for my Angelo. To give my angel a special birthday party. We held the party at home. Sad to say I had no picture taken during his birthday because we did not have a camera at that time and smart phones were not a fad that time too. All of my son's cousins on both sides were there. There were balloons and lots of games and prizes. It was truly a beautiful and happy day. I cannot thank the Lord enough for all that he has done for me and my family. I will never renounce my faith to God. He is my Father and I am his daughter. If we all let him be the captain of our lives he will never fail us.

The photo of my lead image will be the design of my son's 19th birthday come this August 20th.

Always Remember, God loves you.
