"God is in control." That's what a foreign friend told me long time ago. He waited for long time, for god to send him home or give him a good life in the Philippines.
Waiting without action or trying something new to establish yourself in this country cannot change your present situation. Why not think of those years you have waited?
Sometimes, I am thinking how some Christians behave on what they believe. I think they just want to feel okay with all the problems they are facing but not to find the solution for their present situation. Same with the Filipinos. Instead of grabbing a good opportunity to change their life for the better, they will reasoned out that "Money is Evil". Well, ignorance is evil."
