About Me:
My name is Louise Aiana, I am a pianist in the Church, I am teacher in the kids ministry, and I am in the choir. Although I have ministries that I am commited to be in, I still have ministries that I should be in even though I should be because I am a Pastor’s kid, it is a privelege. I am the daughter of Pastor Joel, ministering in the Philippines, Bicol region. My mother, Ma Theresa is a teacher in Abuyog National High School.
Being in the ministry has made us face a lot of struggles. May that be spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, and mostly financially. My parents are always giving their all just to support the 3 of us siblings may that be emotionally, being present in every event in school, having a birthday celebration for us 3, when it comes to supporting us, siblings financially I know they will ask for money as a debt and pay it later but their income most of the time will be paying bills, taxes, and for the things that the church needs. They never tell us, siblings that they are stuggling, they just keep smiling, laughing through the pain and hardships in life. And growing up I observed that and I adapted that attitude that in every sorrow you have experienced just smile because God is in control. It’s hard growing up that we didn’t get what we wanted and even what we needed at that time as a family. We still don’t have a family vehicle, nor a permanent home to live in, the church still can’t stand alone financially speaking, I go to school only having money for the transportation (going to school and going home), we eat left over foods and divide it into 7 and when our church workers come every Saturday my mother sacrifices her food just to feed them on that day. I sometimes question God why the people who struggles the most are the ones who surrendered their lives in the ministry, the people who love You dearly. But you know, growing up I’ve learned that GOD is the God of grace and love. Oh, how I wished I’ve seen how good He was when in times of struggles in the past how in every disappointments, trials and heart aches in this life is His mercy in disguise. Because the blessings that God gave me and the family is the privileges, safety, protection, blessings materially and the people.
I had enrolled in a university where I didnt get the course or the bachelor that I love to have. It was just to make my father happy because I’ll be fully be of use in the family business. It really breaks my heart when I see my father and mother struggle. I hate being a burden to them that’s why I see to it I will help in the family business, not only because I should but it’s a privilege. I sometimes sell some of my clothes, shoes, or some of my things just to buy the things I need. And I give my all in everything, especially in my studies. That’s why when I was a 1st year college l enrolled to a course where my father will be happy because I chose a course aligned to his desire for me. I know that my father is not perfect no parents are but he is a good father so is my mother. So, in the year 2022-2023 having the Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship course, I did my best, gave my best for the sake of my father and the family business. In the 1st semester I was a Dean’s lister and also in the 2nd semester. Although, I achieved this, my heart aches that I did not choose what I wanted. Prayer after prayer, nights of crying out to the Lord to touch my father’s heart to make me have what I want that is of the Lord’s. So, I asked God for strength, I took up the courage to have a heart to heart talk with my father and by God’s grace, God answered my prayer. I was so overwhelmed with joy and in everyday I praise God for that! I always wanted to be in a medical field so, I chose Nursing, Bachelor of Science in Nursing. There are trials that God let me faced during the enrollments in different schools. I tried asking for friends that are enrolled in a school that has a Nursing course. And so, I tried Bicol University, because this school does not require tuition fees but I was too late because we we’re attending the Pastor’s Wives Conference and had to immediately go to Manila. BU had 2 free slots for Nursing and 200 students tried to take the exam but I didn’t make it. I tried asking them to give me a chance but they said they couldn’t. I cried, asked God to help me trust Him so, I tried Tanchuling College and on that Friday they told me to go back on Monday for the slot in Nursing because they still have free slots for the Nursing course. Then on Monday, I went back to Tanchuling College and they told me that the Nursing course is full. I cried, I couldn’t hide it anymore from my mom. I cried to the Lord, I asked Him to help me again to trust Him. So, we went to Divine Word College of Legazpi (DWCL). I took the exam and the next day my father told me He would rather let me enroll in University of Santo Tomas (UST) because DWCL has subjects dedicated for Catholicism and they will not let me not take it because the school said whether I like it or not or whether I am a Bible Baptist I should still take these subjects. I couldn’t risk that just for getting in Nursing, I don’t want to implement my mind that is not God’s Word. I don’t want to give in to that. On these weeks of 2 hours of traveling back and forth, from Sorsogon to Legazpi and struggling to get in to Nursing I wanted to give up. But I believe God talked to me to go back to Tanchuling College so, I did. You know, God is so good that in every trial and “bad” days He will give you the courage to press on and I believe that a life with Jesus is not immunity from difficulties but having peace within the difficulties. God used a member of a fellow-church in Legazpi who works in Tanchuling College to talk to the Dean in Nursing and by God’s grace, I got in! I will never forget these people, this trials that God helped me overcome, His goodness throughout these struggles.
The reason why I love to be in Nursing is because I would love to be in medical missions, win souls to Christ in Hospitals, prioritsing to take care of my parents or family, and it is a privilege to be a help and save lives. And because after my grandmother died, I grieved so much that I wasn’t enough, I feel like it’s my fault, that’s why when my parents got into an accident even though it’s 1 am I rushed to the hospital with tears in my eyes, I couldn’t bear seeing them in that state.
I know that Nursing is hard, I will face many trials and I believe also victories but through Christ who gives me strength I can do this. I will do, give my best for Jesus, my family, and me.
I’m sorry that I enrolled in a private school that requires a tuition fee, and had to be in a boarding house just to be here but I do so believe that God will provide, He always does. In Him do I put my trust. I hope, you are one of the people whom God will use in my journey and I do hope not only in my journey but in others as well. I thank God that you have been a blessing to me and my family. I do pray that you continue in the Lord, on being a blessing to others, and I hope I will be a blessing to you, too.
You’re in my prayers, thank you so much, and God bless!
