MIRACLES do exist


In my  previous blog, I will not be moved I shared with you about  the difficult journey our family is going through. for those who are following my blog , join me in the  continuation of our journey..... 

When I learned that my father was already transferred in the ICU,  I said to myself, this is it.  I need to go home as fast as I could.  Or else  I will regret that I didn't come home,  for the rest of my life. If only I have wings or power to go to one place  I would definitely be on their side immediately.   It broke my heart hearing my mother so helpless. Being  an OFW, one of the hardest and difficult struggle that we have is during this situation, there is no assurance that your employer will understand the situation and will approve your leave without hesitation But I believe God’s miracle is working already in our life during that time.   I immediately asked for permission to go home and just few hours later, I found myself checking in at the airport.  


Albert Einstein said there are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle and the other is as though everything is a miracle. I am a believer of miracle because my life is already  a miracle.  And what He did in my father’s life is a full manifestation that God’s miracles still do exist.  He restored my father’s health at that time, beyond our imagination. Who would ever think that being confined in the ICU for 3 days,  with no sign of waking up again,  that even the doctors already admitted that their  hope were  losing slowly. And advised us  to be brave, accept and expect the worst.  But then our God is a miraculous God, He  works in ways we cannot see, 3 days after He opened my father's eyes. He woke up from his slumber.

What keeps our hope higher and stronger are the presence of everyone who came, comfort and prayed for my father’s wellness during that time. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. To everyone  who never stop storming and bombarding the heaven with their prayers.  God heard our prayers audibly and loudly.  Truly prayers really can move mountains. I may not be able to mentioned you by names but known that God sees your heart and good deeds.   May the Lord bless your life thousand fold for all the little things you have done for us.

The love we felt are overwhelming.  Family, relatives, friends, church mates and co-pastors  from different churches  who came and stay with us even until wee hours of night is a true assurance of the unconditional love that comes from God.    Your presence somehow gives light during our darkest days.

Our heart is full of gratitude, of unending praises and overflowing thanksgiving to the One who proves that nothing is impossible in Him.  

We transferred him to the private room and it was so big that it can accommodate the whole clan and visitors as well.  His provision never runs out,  His blessings over poured and His mercies are new every morning.  He settled the payment of our hospital bills that reach up to 6 digits. The 9 days we spent in the hospital are one of best memorable days of my life.  It does not  only bring healing to my father but it also strengthened relationship among each other.   During those difficult times, it brings our family closer, stronger and more together than ever before. And in the top of this one thing remains sure and true.  God is in control of everything and everything will work out for our own good.

Praise Him forever.

I WILL NOT BE MOVED

Yes it is tough.  it is really tough. and the coming days it might be tougher but I am sure it will soon passed.  Victory is waiting at the end.  For I know, we are more than a conqueror.  We are victors and our enemy is already defeated thousands of years ago.  My family is going through one of the hardest trials of our life but I know and I firmly believe that we already claim the victory through Jesus.  We have been through this before when my brother was diagnosed of kidney failure.  We have seen how the hand of God worked on his life.  We surpassed that episode with flying colors that's why I know this time we will are expecting the same.  Not because we are rich and we can afford all the best medication he need. We don't even know how are we going to settled all the medical expenses that are continuously accumulating (But I know we have nothing to worry for our God is rich) But because we have a big God who can sustain us and do miracle in our father’s life.  He has proven His power over him 30 yrs ago when he was diagnosed of having a diabetes.  He healed him completely and miraculously.  From then  on he surrender his life to Him.  The God we have during that time is also the same God that we have right now. Nothing change.  His power to heal before is the same power He has now.  

Though my heart is crushed right now because of the situation but it doesn’t mean that my faith will also be crushed.  My faith is stronger than ever before.  My faith will not be moved by the circumstances but it will be flourish like a tree planted on the running water.  My faith will enable me to believe that miracle is happening right now.  My faith will keep my hopes higher than it should be. My faith will make impossible things become possible.  And my faith will continue to praise God no matter how difficult the situation is. Faith is only that I have right now and nobody will ever take it away from me. 

In light of that,  my heart is full of gratitude to everyone who showed their love, concern and been our prayer warriors since day one and never get tired of  storming the heaven with their petitions.  You somehow ease our pains and worries.  Your uplifting words  makes this battle bearable.  May our God continue to bless your heart.



We will continue to praise you God no matter what this situation will bring us.
