Steemit Philippines Open Mic Week # 6 Contest ( Lift Up your Hands ) @eivor22

It's the 6th week now, and I am here again :) Enjoying this contest very much, obviously :)
I chose a song that has affected me most at this time of my life. This gives me the courage, strength and positivity in my daily life.

I know all of us are facing various difficulties in life. However, I want you to remember that there is someone up there who we can hold on to. We just need to lift everything up to him, and everything will be alright.

I hope listening to this song will uplift you somehow :)

"Lift Up Your Hands"
I needed to hear this song. This makes me think everything will be in place soon.
As what I wrote in my previous blog ( The Battle She's Fighting ), my sister was brought to the hospital due to her condition. For her condition not to get worse, her doctor advised her to undergo a heart surgery; a valve replacement a surgery. I felt scared for her, I couldn't imagine what she was feeling. She didn't show any sign of fear, she was brave.

The said surgery will cost us more than one million pesos, which is too huge amount for us to afford. I felt more scared. How can we pursue the surgery, we are financially incapable.

At this time, I needed to clear up my mind. I shouldn't think negatively. Then I came across this song in youtube, and I listened to it with all of my heart. I shed tears, I was so emotional. The song somehow gave me hope. Its lyrics are words of encouragement.

I immediately decided to ask help from my friends, and any one I and my sister knows. I posted on facebook, Asking for financial assistance. My friends helped me as well. More people helped me, and are still helping me now to ask help too.
Fortunately, some people extended their help already, which I am really thankful of. God is really good. He is really my saviour.

For now, we are still gathering some money for my sister's surgery.
This song inspires me to not give up right away. This song tells me that I am not alone, God is with me. I just ask help from him, and he will be there. That I should put all my trust in him, and he will lighten my burden.

For you who is experiencing something bad right now, you just tell God about it and he will help you get through it.
