Image
To God be the glory! Let me share my Chemo Day.  First of all, thank you so much to my wonderful husband Tony, my fantastic caring sister Ate Malou, and Chit for having me today. Thank you to my caring and supportive Nurses Lira, Karla, and Mobi. I always owe you big time. Thank you, Doc Jorge Ignacio for always helping me to be a more obedient patient. Worthy for me to understand the pros and cons of everything in layman's terms. "Natatawa ako ng maalala ko advise sa akin ni Doc, "huwag ka na kasi iiyak." try ko nga agad yesterday, naiiyak pa rin ako talaga. Pero bakit nga ba ako naiiyak. Hehehe   May bago akong classmate, naawa ako kasi nabalian pa siya ng buto sa legs, pero masaya naman siya kausap. Sabi nya sa akin, "Naku, malalamapasan mo yan, kasama ko nga sa work same sayo stage 4 pa nga, nakalusot at buhay pa hanggang ngayon." Hehehe My Note: Lord, the words don’t even seem adequate to express the gratitude in my heart. You are more than I deserve, ...

My Life is in Gods Hands, He is in Control of Everything

Image
May 10, 2020 Lord, I know you know my heart. It's hard for me to perfect everything nowadays, my life for almost a year is not a piece of joke. Grant me the wisdom to know how I will be living and loving my short or long life with. Let me be the new me, a much stronger, much more amazing woman than I am in the past. Let me embrace myself and learn to love myself, more now than ever. I’ve been through so much with my diagnosis, my treatment, and my fear. It’s natural for me to feel relief, to worry, and to be afraid of what the future holds even after my doctor tells me that there is a remedy and my life is moving on. It’s a sweet moment with a lot of bitter mixed in. I will never be the same person I was before. I’ve grown, learned, and become a new person. It's not easy to be with people around me who do not really understand my roller coaster journey. It’s alright to feel more than one emotion, and it’s all right to be afraid of what the future holds. Now, I l...

As Soon As You Have Begun To Pray, An Answer Was Given

Image
I used to pray to go to my Chemotherapy and back home. On our way to the hospital, I double round my Holy Rosary, plus the Chaplet of Divine Mercy using my new Crystal Rosary beads gift of love and faith from Jerusalem. Going back home most of the time I am sleeping so I think I seldom finish my rosary, so I pray to my guardian angel that in that case, please finish it for me. Yes, prayer is my thanksgiving gift to God each time I am facing fear I keep my heart focus on my faith to his promises. As soon as you have begun to pray, an answer was given. Daniel 9:23 Thank you, to Tita Madre,  Sister Thea for this wonderful sacrament.

Sometimes Uncertainty Visits Me!

Image
These past days I am uncertain about many things. I need to learn everything about my health on my own, one discovery after another, I cannot explain because I cannot understand. All I know was to follow my heart, I can act quickly for no reason at all, basta kumikilos at basta lng naiisip ko ito, ganito, lahat sinisubukan dahil ang prayer ko ay "Lord, I know you are in control, you know everything about my past and my future, perhaps these disease looks like set back, but at times it seems like a set-up to level me, seems God is preparing me to the fullness of my destiny. I lift all of these cross, bahala ka na po sa akin, sa amin. Ituro mo po ang gagawin, at tulungan mo po ako sa lahat ng ito." and He help me make it through, He carry my cross and carry me. I need to practice obedience to see God's higher purpose for me. I change from day to day basis and lead myself to the unknown. I need to pass these tests, I think God wants to refine me. He wants to see if I can pas...

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.
