Hi! I’m Maricar Brazil but my friends and family usually called me Mahrie. I am the eldest child among the 7 children of my parents and actually the only daughter too. I am writing here because i just wanna share how gracious and faithful our God was in our lives, in my life. I have a simple and happy family, we are thankful of what we had. But, there comes a time that mountain of problems comes upon us. My mom was a pastor in a local church in our town at Lumban, Laguna Philippines and a volunteer teacher also while my father was a vendor. They both don’t have a fixed income and its such a big challenge for them how they will support us especially our studies. I am now an incoming college student that time and there were some doubts that i could be send in state university due to financial problem and also I have lots of brothers that are in need too and needs to be send in school also. But, that situation in our life doesn’t stop me, I told my mom that no matter what happened I want to study and pursue my dreams. One night, my mom asked me to have a quiet time. we both pray and asked GOD for help.We pray for provisions for our foods as well as for my studies. We don’t have anything all we had is GOD. And then one morning I received a message from one of my Friend and then I read it then I surprisingly shouted thank you GOD and my eyes started crying. That message told me that I was been chosen as one of the scholars of a very generous group in our town. And that makes me feel so great. My mom was really happy and we never stop thanking God for granting our prayer. And thats how GOD works in my life. And it really made me realized that Prayers our powerful.

And now I am proud that I have GOd in my Life who owns everything. And I really blessed because I am now finished my Bachelor degree and also passed the board exam and now working in a Publishing Company. And serving theLORD with everything I can. I am now actually helping my mother in our church, I became the Worship leader and youth leader in the church we attended.

I thank GOD for giving me an opportunity to share my life and to share how gracious and merciful our GOD was. I hope that you’ve been encourage. And everything that we had now though its not that much I always thank HIM and it all belongs to HIM.

GOD bless everyone! GOD is truly amazing.
