Divine Calling: Do you have it?

A: So, how is your plan for putting up an orphanage?

B: I can't tell, but it is really hard to put it up here. 

   You know the government, don't you?

A: Well, I don't. Please tell me everything you have to say.

This was a part of our long conversation with Pa Asmat, a counselor from Cimahi, Indonesia

Recently, I met Pa Asmat who is planning to put up an orphanage along with his beloved wife. In our first meeting with him, we were discouraged with so many obstacles that will go along with  the process of building the foundation of the orphanage. There were no orphans yet for the building is physically undone. So much to be done in the second floor especially the roofing and the wall. The building is struggling to be put up because of the lack of money and they do really need a huge amount of money to finish the entire building.  Both of them have been sweating blood to earn money for the construction of the house. We were so much discouraged when we heard about the government's harshness in the procedure of having the orphanage legally registered. The government's corruption  on this matter is intoxicating for they play cruel to those people who wants to put up an orphanage. It's is so damn ridiculous!

I thought putting up an orphanage would be that easy. It's not only the money that you need to consider, most especially the sharp eyes of the government. The corruption of the government is unmistakably discouraging. Totally discouraging.

Yet, Pa Asmat is not stumbled. His high hopes that people will soon realize the need to help him pursue the orphanage is untainted. His size is as huge as his hope and faith that God will send those people he needs in the most precise time.

He is a very good example of  a man who lives by faith despite the discouraging situations. A man who willingly fulfills his call to help the orphans with everything that he has.

If he is already on his way to manifest his divine calling, what could be yours?
