ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD

It's raining non-stop since Sunday (Aug. 5) ...I remembered last night my family and I prayed the rosary and we prayed fervently that Our Gracious God will protect all of us ...At 2am we were awakened by flood waters rushing inside our house. " This is it, we have to move out..." my husband told us.
As Nikon and Niki gathered their personal things...I am down on my knees...my body trembled...I am frightened...I can't move...Then my husband asked me to go first. Thank God we rented an apartment on a higher place but also within the same area in anticipation of the Rainy Season because our place is prone to flooding. We moved some of our things there but not our appliances and other things that were heavy to carry. As I left I told myself "let go and let God" this is one thing we cannot control. We can only ask God to protect us all throughout this ordeal. And so we stayed in the rented apartment until the flood subsided.

Since the rented apartment was so small, we have to sleep side by side with each other, thank God for by sleeping together we were able to pray the rosary everyday. We were able to share stories till the wee hours of the morning. We ate together with what was left...canned goods...pandesal, anything that can satisfy our hunger will do. We had a great bonding! By these I felt so blessed for we were together...Rolly, Nikon, Niki and I. Thank you so much, Lord!

The saddest part is when we went back a week later. Nikon and Niki can't believe what they saw...Our refrigerator was half submerged . Our television turned upside down, also with our  Washing machine and gas range, stereo component, even Niki's Hair Dryer wasn't spared." We're back to zero now!"

That night we prayed the rosary again. We thanked God we are Alive and together. Yes, our household appliances are gone but we have each other. Yes, My husband and I were in pain for we invested for those things for a very long time but we were thankful we have realized that material things doesn't matter as long as you have Our Gracious God...trust in Him...all things are possible with God!

LORD, ARE YOU THERE?

Have you ever been frightened?  Cold feeling… nausea… sweaty palms… fast heartbeats… this is how I am feeling right now.  I woke up at three in the morning feeling my heart rushing… I can’t help on thinking “Is this it?” “Will you take me now LORD?”  I’ve been taking care of myself ever since I learned I have this ASD (atrial septal defect/or butas sa puso) I want to live more and spend the rest of my happy life with my better half, Rolly and my children Nikon and Niki.  Inhale, exhale, pray…pray…pray harder… pray for everybody… pray for my Mom who is far away from us.  Pray for my brothers and sister and their families, pray for other people… pray for the sick and the dying… pray for those who have nothing to eat and no home to sleep in… pray for those who have problems… pray for those who are isolated… pray for those who are in their darkest moment… pray for those who have forgotten that there is an ever loving GOD who is always available for us 24/7…my heart beat now is so , so serene… it seems like dancing… it seems so in love… so in love with GOD, our Father. I started to thank HIM… thank you for this moment…

Thank you for giving me a chance to commune with you LORD… I can feel you here beside me… the fear was gone now… my heart is so excited to thank you LORD.  My heart beat is rushing to glorify you LORD.

My tears are falling… no words can express how grateful I am that you are taking care of me LORD. All my needs, all my worries, all my burdens… all my fears… YOU are not only leading me to right path… YOU are really carrying me.  All the days of my life, you never leave me. Now I will sleep again…no more fears!!! I can now slumber for I know YOU ARE HERE!!!

MY SISTER'S GOOD NEWS!

I can't believe what I heard,  "My husband got promoted !"  said my sister excitedly.  "nag call in ako just so that when my husband gets home, I will be there to congrats him and embrace him."  What a couple !  My sister and her husband is maybe on the 17th year of their married life. Truly , there have been ups and downs, thick and thin, plus and minus, joy and sorrow...name it, they've been there.They have weathered every bits and pieces of a married life .  No,  I believed GOD is not yet done with them.  They are still GOD'S creation on process.  Yes, there have been changes...Godly changes.  Because now, their three sons are constant A-1 students.  the eldest will be a future scholar in college next year. My brother in law is an A-1 employee and husband...an A-1 son, and an A-1 brother.  My sister is also a supervisor in a company where she is employed.  They do help their other siblings and help other people in times of need.  I am so happy with the good news...but the real good news is that GOD ANSWERS ALL OUR PRAYERS IN HIS OWN PERFECT TIME!!!

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.
