Realization 101

Have you ever prayed so hard that you tightly close your eyes so can shut out the world and not see what will happen if your prayers are not favorably answered? I did just that as the days drew closer and closer to THE date. I never frantically sought for Divine intervention as I did for Migo to pass the embassy interview, never asked so many people to pray for him. The odds were stacking up, even if I did not want to admit it. He did not have property titles to show and the entire family is listed in the form, all in the US! And all with pending applications for immigrant visa. So bad I thought were his chances of getting the visa that I was already praying that both Migo and I will have the strength to accept a denial!

At about 8pm I received his first text: Make a guess
To which I interpreted as positive!! I sent my reply: You got your visa!!!
But just as my reply was being sent, another text message from him: Tawag kng pde
Then I thought - I might have misinterpreted his first message. No. Please God NO!
As I was shaking while looking for his Globe phone number so I can call him, his reply to my message came: Yahoo!!!

I am happy beyond words. Sooooo happy. Realization 101. Prayer IS powerful.
