Never Say Never

Rhea, don't give up. Remember, God has won the battle for you all you have to do is to TRUST and OBEY

Dear God,
Thank you for refreshing and restoring my soul and for the endless and unconditional love you have for me which makes me shine every day, I love You Lord.

just another sunday

I went to church this morning, dressed with a green shirt on top with pencil-cut styled skirt, but as I seat down on the chair where only few minutes were left for the worship service to start, I started asking myself, "Am I really prepared to meet thy God just today, just in His presence?". I checked and asked myself, did I pray already? Then I realized, it's not the healthy who go to the hospital, it is the sick - the wounded, who are desperately needing the miracle of healing. Just then I contemplated on how God is loving and merciful to accept me of who I am. I know He is not yet finish with me and I believe He'll make me the best person He wants me to be. - `therealme`


Yes, today is Sunday here in the Philippines, February 26, 2011. My dear friend if you happen to visit this blog of mine, I want you to know this is not an accident. God has a purpose in your life and my life. Indeed, He has orchestrated everything before it happens to the real world, He knows it already. Yes from the very beginning until the end of time.


Oh well, to my surprise the message is too detailed for me. The message title is `To Whom Shall We Go` by Rev. Greg Smith, the guest speaker at Word of Hope in front of SM North Edsa Annex. When I have problems, when I'm down and help is nowhere to be found, it made me realized that all I need to do is to turn and look back to Jesus and never drift away. Sometimes, it is easy to say it, it is easy to post or to put words in our finger, but what hits me most is the reality. The real scenario, the real typhoon where strike of strong winds almost overwhelmed me where I almost give up. Thank God He did not give up on me.


Today, is not just another Sunday, not just an ordinary and habitual Sunday. I must keep on, move on and press on towards the goal - until the day that I will see my Creator and Savior - our Lord Jesus Christ.


Praise the Lord.

Are you ok, now?

After long sleepless nights, soft diet and severe pain, I am now ok.

I've been down for quite several days, can't eat well, can't sleep. The growing wisdom tooth gave me a hard time to live my life as normal as I can. All I can do is to cry to God and appeal for healing. Thank God He never let me down.

On the last day of pain (Feb 5), the pain was all gone. After attending a church service at Word of Hope near SM North Annex, I felt relieved. Atlas, I am free to live, to speak, to eat and enjoy this life God has given me.

Of course I have lot of lessons learned, here are some:
1. I have prooven that God is my Great Healer.
2. Appreciate what you have right now specially the people around you. It was my husband who became my private doctor, nurse and a prayer partner. Thank you Dadi Felix.
3. Be prayerful. Ask and you shall receive (Matthew 7:7)

On top of all these, I can still say, "Thank You, Lord".

wisdom tooth

Today, I am sick. I didn't go to work because of my painful swelling gums with a swollen tonsil. I can't eat solid foods, I can only have soft diet - bread and soups. I can't chew. It's hard to swallow.

So I rushed to my dentist and she gave me a prescription to take Mefenamic Acid (3 times a day, as needed) and Celafexin (3 times a day for 7 days, which is 21 all in all). The pain is caused by the extraction of wisdom tooth and that she also advised me to see her after 2 weeks for an X-ray and a probable operation (this would be my first time for any operation, there's fear but I know God will take care of the rest) When I got home after I bought the medicine, I cried to the Lord to heal me and make me feel comfortable and ok.

I cried because of the pain, it is really unbearable. I took a nap and requested my husband to cook `lugaw` or rice porridge with chicken. After I woke up, I ate and will take my medicine round the clock.

But on top of all these, I can still say, "Thank You, Lord".
