I am a girl who has a big dream for my family. I am Jalaine C. H. Salic, 18 years old. I was born on July 24, 2006 at Parañaque city, but currently residing at Tupi, South Cotabato together with my mother and 4 more siblings.
In my 18 years of existence in this cruel world, I've faced a lot of battles and harships in my life. Although, I do believe that battles and struggles are normal for the human life, it still made me question, "why do I need to face these such of battles in my life?" "What did I do, to experienced this painful scenario?" and many more.
I grew up with a broken family since my parents separated. I remember when my father hurt my mother a lot of times because of having a mistresses. Remembered how my mother cried silently, and how my father hurt my mother physically for the first time. And that was also the time that we escaped from him.
After that nightmare of mine, I did promise to my self to put in my heart and mind that my future family will not experience such things, because I will not let it happen. I was still young back then, 8 years old to be exact, but the memories of that scenario still running in my veins.
Then I realized, that God will not make it happened if he don't have a purpose, if it wasn't for us. I realized that maybe the lord made it happen so that my mother will be free from the haul of pain and bitterness.
Although we are not complete, but we are happy. That is because of the Lord's will and promise. Because according to his scripture in Jeremiah 29:11, that says he let things happen not to harm us, but to give us peace and great future. This bible verse, hit me hard and made me realized a lot of things that I can't understand before, but after reading this bible verse, I gradually connect and understand everything.
I also have another bible verse that keeps me motivated, the Philippians 4:13 that says " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" through this, I know I can do anything because he's with me. Even in my darkness, he's with me to give me strength. That's why I remained strong because of him. I entrust everything to him, because I know with Christ nothing is impossible.
