THERE ARE STILL GOOD PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD



I've heard of his name long ago. I've only seen him on TV healing mass. I never thought I will come face to face with him last Oct. 15, 2011 at the Glorietta Activity Center. It felt like I went back to the time of JESUS when HE healed thousands and thousands of sick people...First we prayed the HOLY ROSARY then came the special healing mass.  PAPURI SA DIYOS ! PAPURI SA DIYOS! PAPURI SA DIYOS sa kaitaasan... I can't control my tears...I can't contain the happiness and the joy I felt while singing and I wanted to cry out loud to HIM and said PRAISE YOU LORD FOR YOU CALLED ME HERE...YOU WILL HEAL ME THATS WHY I AM HERE!!!  I burst into tears... tears  profusely flowing down my cheeks...I can feel HIS EMBRACE, I CAN FEEL HIS IMMENSE LOVE...Here I am in a wheelchair because I cannot walk a long distance. Here  I am with the other sick people  feeling waiting to be touched. waiting to feel the healing touch of JESUS...And then it happened...one by one HE touched us...I 've seen and read this in the bible...Then my turn came....HE touched my ailing heart and told me I am healed!!! MY GOD. MY GOD, it' was an AWESOME feeling!!! I can't explain how my body felt the warmth that flowed in the inner recesses of my being...This is great! this is awesome! this is indescribable !  This is JESUS healing all of us...then HE asked me to walk and push my wheelchair out to the exit.  Then it's still so vivid to me...a couple asked me if I am healed...I said "yes!!!"  and they kept on saying a prayers 'GOD BLESS YOU ! GOB BLESS YOU! Of course I do not know how many times I said "thank you, thank you LORD!!! I will never never forget this moment in my life when I have encountered JESUS , THE DIVINE HEALER. I haven't done any heart check up but I can walk long distances and I am back to serving my family. I am doing this to give HIM glory, honor and praise!!! Oh and I won't forget to mention that the LANDMARK and GLORIETTA people were so accommodating and helpful in extending their effort and concerns to us...they see to it that every sick people were comfortably seated  and well taken care of.  I am lifting them all to you dearest JESUS...Really, there are still good people in this world!!!

MY BIRTHDAY PRAYER

What more can I ask for?  Loving Father...I asked that I can finish college and YOU let me finish it. Although it took me 6 years to finish it (add my incomplete grades every time I won't be able to take our final exams due to so many absences because of my heart ailment)...still I received my college diploma.  After college...I asked YOU to find me a job so I can help my family, I landed a job in an advertising agency. I enjoyed every day of my life in my newly found job and met the love of my life there.  We married and YOU gave us our son and our daughter.  The hardest part of course is struggling while we build our family.  But YOU are always there...through  the sun and the rain...even through the storm.  I knew then that it is not only my husband and I...it's GOD, my husband and I. Holding on makes me persevere...praying makes me believe...asking GOD for our daily needs makes my faith stronger than ever. Sometimes I stumbled down...almost felt like drowning...but when I am about to lose my last breath...SOMEONE will carry me and put my feet on the higher ground.  Then I will be alive again...HE sent me people who helped.  These people made our load lighter.  I knew they are heaven sent!!! Today is my birthday...what more can I ask for? I am already 52 and thank GOD for the very colorful 52 years of my life...I still have my husband...thank you for bearing with me.  My son is already 23 and is now working.  Oh boy, I never knew I can still be very alive when he turned 23.  My sweet lady is 21 now and for sure next year she will finished her studies too and find a perfect job for her.

Now there are many restrictions...my heart is getting weaker.  Do I really need an operation? GOD please I still want a normal life... I still want to enjoy serving my family.  I still want to be a part of their important occasions.  I still want to experience loving them and feeling their love...I still want to kiss and hug my husband .  I still love to prepare breakfast for them everyday. I knew they can do it by themselves but please...please let me do it for them.  I still  want to experience life with them...please I still want to be with them.  I STILL WANT TO LIVE LONGER!!!

I also have a perfect job...I am happy helping and touching other people's lives.  As YOU sent me people whom I can serve through my work...YOU are teaching me of selflessness...as YOU open me to a bigger income...YOU are teaching me honesty and gratitude...as YOU gave me clients who trust...YOU are teaching me of humbleness...and going back to YOU again and again and teaching me that all things comes from GOD!!! MY GOD,  I am enjoying my life and savoring every bit of your wisdom and knowledge.  I know it's not my will but THY WILL BE DONE... PLEASE...CREATE A NEW HEART IN ME AND RENEW MY LIFE...RESTORE ME TO FULL HEALTH IN BODY. MIND AND SPIRIT...AND AFTER I HAVE BEEN HEALED, MAY I BE A WITNESS OF YOUR HEALING POWER AND LOVE AND BRING YOU GLORY, HONOR AND PRAISE.  THESE I PRAY IN JESUS' NAME THROUGH MARY WITH ALL THE ANGELS AND SAINTS. AMEN.

GOD IS REALLY GOOD!


Since I came out of the hospital, everyday is a Present from GOD.  Really I felt sorry for taking myself for granted.  Those days when my body says "stop and take a rest" I am sorry for I did not listen. I felt I am strong but my heart is not.  But I am so thankful GOD gave me another chance. Truly, HE is my only Refuge...HE is my MAKER, HE is my STRENGTH, HE is the DELIVERER , HE is my HIDING PLACE and HE is my LIFE and my LOVE!  I knew GOD is not yet through with me.  I am still a work in progress.  Now I take my life one day at a time.  This is the best part of having a break...you have lots of time  communing with GOD.  And HE always listen.  HE never leaves us.  I knew...I always feels HIS presence...GOD IS REALLY GOOD!!!

THANK YOU FOR MY FAMILY


On our way to the hospital last August 31, 2011,  I do not know how many times I hugged my husband and told him I may pass out.  I remembered he hugged me back and told me he will never leave me.  "I am here...I will be beside you" My daughter , my son, my brother and his son were also there.  They did not leave me too.  All throughout my stay in the hospital my husband never left me.  I felt their genuine love and care for me.  My family are my greatest gift from GOD.

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!!!
