We seemed to have hit a financial snag. Without going into much detail, our project is going to slow down due to a financial difficulty. I now must try to find a way to navigate through finding some funding to continue this project. We are now at 20 % completion. The first building now has walls on the first floor and the main building has foundation and pillars however we will not be able to continue much further until we get the funding corrected.
I went to see the 3 local banks here and applied for a collateral loan. All of them applauded me for the project but unfortunately is not able to help me for a loan. Even though I have a sizable land value of P24M ($577K) I do not have any financial track record here in the Philippines and ultimately that is the one that counts.
I'm finding this situation very difficult to deal with because it was rather unexpected. I prayed for wisdom and sought help but it seemed that only I'm hitting walls. I find myself walking by the beach and praying to the LORD for help. It doesn't help that I'm by myself and feeling the pangs of loneliness and now this.
I went back to my room , read the scriptures and worshiped the LORD in my tears. I found myself singing the song " I will praise you in the storm."
Praise You in This Storm
I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away
Chorus
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
