Good News, At Last

It is with great joy that I share with you the latest news about my father.

He had his lab tests done the other day. According to his doctor (an Internist), the results came out very good - meaning, his blood sugar, creatinine, cholesterol levels, etc., are all low. These levels apparently are low enough that the doctor decided to reduce the intake and discontinue some of the medications my father has been maintaining since months ago. Also, my father has gained a bit of weight, from 56 kilos last November, to 59.5 kilos as of yesterday. Praise the Lord!

These news are like music to my ears. We've not had a positive development in a while as far as my father’s health is concerned. That’s why I am very thankful to God, for this could only be because of His healing touch upon my father’s life.

I do hope and pray that good news will keep on coming until my father's full recovery. According to my earthly, limited mind - he still has a long way to go. The wounds from the surgery on his heels have not quite healed yet. It will take months for those to heal given his diabetic condition. On top of this, my dad has a peripheral artery disease (a condition developed mostly by diabetics) that causes painful burning sensations on his legs contributing to his sleepless nights at times.

But these conditions are nothing that our God cannot handle. He is a miracle working Father and I know that what our carnal mind may think impossible, with God it is possible.

So, please do help me pray for my father's continuous recovery. Pray specifically that:
  • my father will have a miraculous healing from the conditions I’ve mentioned above, and that he’ll soon become well enough to travel

  • his application for a passport and US visa will be approved without hindrance or delay from the enemy so that I can have him here in the US with me in no time

  • we will have enough finances to be able to get my father to the US

Thank you very much for praying and believing with me for my family. The Lord's promises are YES and AMEN to those who believe in Him!

A Recap of 2007

Image
Year 2007 is soon to be officially over in a couple of days. As I bid adieu to this year, I know that 2007 will definitely leave an indelible mark in my spirit. This year I have battled and fought, overcome and conquered the many obstacles that life brought my way. It all began in October 2006 when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, an invasive ductal carcinoma stage 4 which at that time had already metastasized to her bones, lymph nodes and skin. But even this horrible news did little, if anything, to put me down. I knew there would be an uphill battle ahead of me, but I prepared myself. I put on God's full armor and held on to God's promises in His word as tight as I could. So as the year 2007 came rolling in, I was ready. My heart was expectant of the Lord's miracles to take place in my life and in my family. I even went as far as boldly declaring 2007, being a year ending with the perfect number 7, as the year of PERFECTION - a year when everything in my life w

Shotgun Prayers

Lately I’ve been finding myself having quality time with God when I drive. It is embarrassing to admit, but it is when I am driving that I get my quiet, alone time with Him. Ironically, I am able to focus on the Lord very well despite the craziness of Miami's traffic. Within the four walls of my car I've poured out my heart and soul to the Lord. The car is privy to all these wonderful, sometimes desperate times with Him. If only my car can talk, I am sure that she would be able to tell you about my most fervent prayers, my secret longings and deepest sighs. But there are also those times that I find myself just throwing out one-line-prayers for someone, or for something. Like when an ambulance passes me by, I’d quickly say a prayer for the person in the rescue vehicle. Or, anytime when I see something in the street that moves me, I throw those one-liners out to God. Usually, these prayers are more like, “Bless that person Lord!” , “Help him/her live that she may know you !” O

MOTHERS

To all mothers who happen to read this blog, I just want to greet you a very happy mother's day.

And for that, I want to let you know, thank God for mothers like you. May the Lord's anointing, grace, wisdom and strength abound in you all the days of your lives. Happy Mother's Day! P.S.
