When You Can Be Yourself!

When you can be yourself, you allow others to be themselves. You are ok Sol. You are, in fact, more than that. You are worthwhile. You are worth it. You are worthy, even when you do not feel like it, you are. Be strong and courageous. We all have a different journey, and each journey is unique. Your journey is uniquely beautifully Yours. Embrace it! Lord, please bear with me, each time I am asking you, again and again, to heal me soon, help me overcome the hardest part of my treatment. I am not good at understanding all these things, yet I know you know my heart. So help me God. Sol Albar

Prayer 501: The Lord Is Close To The Brokenhearted!

Image
Lord teach us how to worship You more in the midst of our COVID-19 trials and health. Help us to understand that when these tests and trials come, it’s a testing of our faith and it’s only to make us stronger. I pray that while we are going through these trials, that You remind us daily that you are with us. Wrap your loving arms around us, shield us and protect us from the evil one. Thank you, Lord, for loving us and having patience with us. Even when we mess up, You continue to love us and be faithful to us. Thank you, Lord, for your mercies and grace toward us. We love You sweet and precious Jesus. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. " Good Friday is only two weeks away, and the Gospel is a clear indication of what will happen in Jerusalem. Dark clouds are gathering over the head of Jesus. Thank you so much, Lord, God in Heaven for always taking care of me, and last night. Thank you so much for your loving hands through my husband, sisters, and doctors. God bless us a...

Prayer 502 : Miracles Are Beyond Our Understanding!

Image
Jesus said to the Jews: "If I testify on my own behalf, my testimony cannot be verified. But there is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that testimony he gives on my behalf is true." Gospel Jn 5:31-47 My Note: I believe, Jesus is the true son of God in heaven. He was sent to us in the name of our Father in heaven to save us. To tell us how much we are loved by his Father so he does embrace the will of the father to save us through his blood. Hallelujah! Miracles are beyond our understanding that is why it is called Miraculous. Yes, many things happened, and still, many more challenges are happening nowadays. Thank you so much, Lord, you bless us and our families with health, life, love, concern, support, and a big heart to genuinely love. My condition is not a joke, my awesome doctor explained to me that H is not bad because the other results are good. It is very important to me to understand the meaning of his explanation. In my mind, God is working behind our t...

Day 6, Battling With Pneumonia!

Image
My 1st cup of coffee, and my thoughts for this great morning, " A quiet mind cures all." Everything will work out in the end. We don't need to know-how. We just have to trust God that it will. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let my request be made known to God, And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

Day 5, Battling With Pneumonia!

Image
This is how I do my meditation today while having my afternoon hot coffee after taking the last pills for my Pneumonia. Dear God, sometimes I don't have words, so I hope you hear my heart. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever Hebrew 13:8 Wellness Tips: The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.  Then Jesus went all about the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. Matthew 9:35

Day 1, Battling With Pneumonia!

Image
Fight the Good Fight. Do your best; do what is morally right. To fight the good fight is to do the right thing and to try to get others to do the same. It comes from the Christian religion, so it is deeply rooted in morality and evangelism. Someone who is fighting the good fight is working tirelessly to try and make good choices and help others. This person wants to improve the world around him. The phrase is not meant to be taken literally, however, as there is no actual fighting taking place. Rather, fighting the good fight is working hard to accomplish one’s goal of bettering humanity. The King James Bible includes the first instance of the phrase fight the good fight.

Diagnosed With Pneumonia After My 4th Cycle On Chemotherapy Treatment!

Image
Some of the greatest blessings in this world come from God’s power in the midst of trials. God changes us, molds us, strengthens us, and builds us through hardship. And there is nothing like the experience of being comforted by God alone in that dark hour. We must realize that sometimes it’s just not God’s plan to heal or to fix a problem quickly for us. And that’s ok. He still loves us. He still has a plan. And He still has a profound purpose for that pain that can end up blessing us beyond anything we could ever imagine. Often God chooses to heal. But sometimes He teaches us more and draws us closer when we walk the dark mile of suffering. But to experience such blessing, it is important that we run to God and not away from Him in the midst of the storm.  God bless our medicine, Doctor Ignacio, Nurses, and Laban Tayo Sol Team  Thank you so much Doctor Jorge Ignacio for reminding me again of God's plan and timing. Experiencing God's grace gives us great hope in the ...
