DIVINE INTERVENTION
We've been agonizing with this obligation for how many years now, but today...it's final. We have to settle our home mortgage real soon. "Have you received a letter coming from the Sheriff's office?" asked the Home Mortgage Counselor. " I haven't but if that happens, I have no other recourse but to wait until I have the said amount that is due, but...I really do not know when will this money arrive. The following day, the letter from the Sheriff's office arrived. "This is no joke, they are really serious!" I felt my whole being trembling with fear... "Where will we live? Where will my family end up?" That very moment...everything was frozen. "What will I do now? ", My whole body was numbed, it's as if the whole world stopped...
My heart ached...I'd like to shout and asked the Lord to please have mercy on us..."LORD, are you there?" "Please, please help me, I cannot do this alone!"I thought of my brother. I will call him. I do not know how he would be of any help but this is the only thing that i can think of right now. So I told him my story and asked him if he could help out. I asked him to help me find someone who can lend me the money that i needed and I promised to pay in longer terms as possible so that monthly payment will be easier . I even told him that I really do not know why it's him that I called. It seem someone whispered his name to me.
The sad part according to him is that he cannot be allowed to acquire a loan because he still has an existing loan to settle. Then there was a very deafening silence...a very loud silence... Again, I earnestly prayed...Please dear LORD help him...help us! Then right then and there he called his office and negotiate with the loan. As they were negotiating, it rained very hard...so hard that it's as if GOD is telling me ..."Rejoice, for your prayers will be answered! " As the rain keeps falling on our rooftop, so is my tears keep falling on my cheeks. Then I heard my brother said "prayer answered!" they'll let me have another loan , deduct the first existing loan balance and get the exact amount you need after the computation. " The other good news is that it is payable for five years at an amount you exactly prayed for."
The exact prayer I said...the very exact amount I needed and the very exact amortization I asked for! I believed GOD knew my dilemma ever since. And ever since "HE" is weaving every single fiber of my being and the people who will be "HIS" channel in fulfilling my fervent prayer. My brother with his wife , my husband and I, all of us were in tears. Tears of joy for an answered prayer. Tears of overwhelming feelings because a miracle...a great DIVINE INTERVENTION unfolded into our very own eyes. Also, thank you so much for giving me a brother and a sister who understands. I am so blessed for having them. They are my gift from GOD! And GOD, I knew "HE" was there, I knew "HE" will never forsake us ...Thank you OUR GRACIOUS FATHER IN HEAVEN!!!

ON MY KNEES
On my knees I pray to you HEAVENLY FATHER to grant me courage to walk with faith in my heart that YOU are here beside me now...touch my heart and every inch of my body and make me well. Grant me strength to face anything that will come into my life today. Bless my family, my friends, the sick and the dying, the company I am working with, bless those who have no one to pray for them, bless those who have forgotten you, bless those who have no food to eat and no shelter to live in. bless our country and our leaders. Bless us all and please answer all our prayers. LORD ABBA ...let your heart's desire be done into our life. Thank you for this moment I am communing with you...Thank you for being my healer, my comforter , my patience, my wonderful counselor, my provider... All these I pray in the name of JESUS, AMEN.

Niki's Baby Patsy
When she came, everyone in the family looked with awe and joy. She is so tiny and so cute as she moved and buried her face into Niki's tummy. Her paws are so soft and her eyes are so tantalizing. Every time we talk to her, her ears will sway as if she understands what we are saying. And she is very good in getting Niki's attention by crying non-stop when she is hungry, going round and round in circles when she wants to poop or pee. Niki would kiss and hug her during playtime. Oh how she would jump so high to amaze us. She is really the apple of our eyes!
Having Baby Patsy at home is like having a real baby also. We considered her as a new addition to our family. I remember bathing her once with Niki and Rolly...she was so behaved and enjoyed the water so much. How I long to hold her but sad to say I am afraid of dogs so I just content myself of holding her when she is asleep.
Welcome to our family Baby Patsy...and may you grow into a wonderful doggie !

What We Did For Love
It's a Sunday and a family day. Niki, our youngest has a catering service to do. Her menu is Southern-style fried chicken with coleslaw, Barbequed hickory pork ribs, Spaghetti, and Pineapple Upside-down Cake. The food must be delivered at 10am for a Father's day celebration. She started cooking at 6am but is done with the spaghetti sauce the night before. Even then it seems she can't make it to the agreed time of delivery.
My husband who was still in bed and although he wanted to savor his special day because it's Fathers' Day started to assist her daughter with the coleslaw. Hmmmm...it seems I have to extend also my help so I started putting breadings into the chicken while Niki was into frying and baking at the same time. Our eldest who saw the bayanihan started firing up the charcoal and began with the Pork barbeque ribs. "let's volt in" seemed to be our unified motto. And not long after the said volt in, we're done!
A family must be closely knit...extending help when needed...not waiting to be asked. I believed its our love for our sweet Niki that prompted us to lend a hand and finished the job. It's what we did for love that the result are satisfied customers. Niki received lots of kudos...for a perfectly cooked food...
Although we celebrated Father's day the following day, we were so happy and overflowing with joy for a job well done...its what we did for love...

Answered Prayer
As my son Nikon wore his toga and prepared for the processional, I felt teary eyed…I never thought I could witness this – my son’s graduation. I married at 29 and Nikon was our first born. But my heart ailment makes me fear that I may not witness his college graduation. But with GOD’S amazing grace…with GOD’S constant care of my defective heart …with GOD’S straws of overwhelming daily dose of reminder that HE will restore me to full health in body, mind and spirit…HE gave me a new heart. And now here I am together with my very supportive husband and all the other grateful parents cheering and giving thanks to GOD for an ANSWERED PRAYER…
