In my previous post "AS I CONQUERED FEAR" last Oct 2010, I shared there one of my greatest fear and that is being in a hospital. Didn’t I know that God is just training me for a big thing to happen. At exactly 10 months I find myself in that same hospital again with same familiar faces, same smell but with lesser fear and a greater faith.
Saturday, Aug 20, 2011 at around 3am , Allan woke me up asking to bring him to the hospital because the pain in his stomach became worst and his back is also in pain, he was not able to sleep because of his condition.
In our way to the hospital I asked God for miracles. First and foremost I asked to released Allan from pain, it really breaks my heart every time he cried out because of the pain. For sure it is really painful. We know for the fact that men tolerance to pain is not same as women. Second that God spare us from too much hospital bills and expenses. We don’t have that money to spend with and even though the insurance company will reimburse the expenses afterwards there is no guarantee that they will covered all.
Every time the nurse handed me the bills I really prayed hard that it will not cost much. We only have 1,500 dirhams ($410) in our pocket and I know it will be not be enough since we are in a private hospital. But really God is in control because He sustain us, our hospital expenses is only within what we have in hand.
With thorough tests they find out that He has multiple gall stones and with doctor's advice he need immediate laser surgery to remove all the stones and again need a large amount of money. Laser surgery will cost 10,000 to 11,000 dirhams ($3000+) again, where can we get that money?. My mind started to think of ways on how to raise that amount, I even come out to the point of borrowing money to my company but then it is God's word whom pacify me. Why am I worrying knowing that I have a great God who can heal. We told the doctor we will think about it and will inform him later.
After giving him another shot of pain killer and letting him sleep for 3 more hours we decided to go home with faith in our heart that he will be healed.
God really works in mysterious ways. He never failed to show His power to us. He give us His wisdom to discern what is good and best for us. As am searching in the internet for any alternate ways to remove gall stones God leads me to a site that gives advises about gall stones and explained how olive oil and fresh lemon juice works to purge gall stones out. I copied the procedure and tried to follow every measurements and every steps. With lots of prayer and faith, it works. Gall stones come out. At first just like a size of small pebbles but later on its like a size of jackstone ball. And the pain starting to subside. Truly prayer and faith works together.
God really hears our prayers. And its good to know that there people whom we can count on during this difficult times. They take time to be with us physically and spiritually. Knowing that we are not alone in this battle is also a miracle from God.

God is still in the miracle business. If you are asking for a miracle today, God will answer. When praying, don’t forget to ask Jesus to give you ears to hear and a heart to receive His answer. The best answer.
