We have been praying for a baby for a while now. It was one of our main prayer points during this Prayer & Fasting. During the week, God opened our eyes and our hearts to all His miracles in our marriage and in our individual lives and it deeply convicted us that even if we do not have a baby yet, He has already been soooo good to us. Wala na kaming mahihingi pa mula sa aming mabuting Ama. But this morning, after 5 days of praying akd fasting, with the most beautiful story ever written for us, He said "I will show you that I am the best Father, that I hear you, that I will not withhold any good thing from you. Here is another miracle."

After 3 years of being in an LDR situation, we finally tied the knot last August 2022! This pandemic derailed our plans but surely not God's. God provided a way for us to pursue our destination wedding in Phuket, Thailand together with our families. Also, my work documents here in Japan were approved by the PH Labor office and could finally return to PH (after 3.5years) for a short vacation after our wedding. Then Japan borders opened last October and my husband could finally come back here last December, and we could do prayer and fasting together. All glory to God!

Last late September to Mid December 2022, I was literally broke. My online client did not pay my 2 months worth of salary. I only have 1k+ pesos in my account, and I also have a family to provide to. I started to be very anxious about everything. Even though, I kept believing in God's faithfulness, and I even tested Him by giving my remaining money just like what the widow did. By mid December of 2022 God provided me with a new client and I was able to earn before Christmas and New Year. God is indeed faithful. He sees our situation. What I'm trying to say is just keep believing in Him. Worship Him for who He is, not because of the circumstance or requests. He is good. He will not forsake us/you. God is working in the background. Just hope and wait.

I was diagnosed with stage 1 skin cancer last Dec 12. I was so scared, fear was crushing me, I was scheduled for surgery on Dec 23. So i would just pray and worship trying to find peace, praying for God to help me endure, though I accepted to let His will be done. But, God is so good. Truly there is so much power in Jesus name! During my devo on Dec 14, God gave me this verse "..until now you have not asked anything in my name, ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete" (John 16:24) I felt like a light bulb was turned on! and so i pray "Lord Jesus, i pray that I don't have cancer. Lord, I'm claiming it. IN JESUS NAME. Lord, I pray, IN JESUS NAME." The next day, as I was preparing for the advised treatment course, something happened that lead us to have my biopsy re-examined. Dec 21 got my result, it was confirmed not cancer. I don't have cancer. My Christmas Miracle indeed. Praise God! Hallelujah! :)

Last March 2022 I married my 8-year LDR boyfriend to honor God. We dedicated our wedding/marriage to the Lord as we are having a hard time to say no to temptation.

After which, we consume almost all our savings that even a P150.00 brand of pasta, we cannot afford. As we obey God, we decided to leave and cleave, and part of it is discovering our hidden attitude, upbringings and ethics which lead to quarrel.

I kept asking God, "Akala ko may blessing sa marriage?", until He sent us our Couple's Group who really helped us with our adjustment and transition. One day, God moves in mysterious ways that He gave us peace and contentment. He provided more than we ever expected.

Feb. 14, 2022 my life crumbled down when I was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer. My doctor is a Uro consultant and he told me that all of my signs and symptoms are symptoms of bladder cancer. I am just 32 years old and just gave birth to my 2nd child (he's 7 months old at this time). During my cystoscopy he confirmed that I have multiple tumors inside my bladder and they look cancerous. But before he left my room, he told me... "For over 50 years of practicing medicine, my clinical judgement tells me that all your clinical manifestations are that of a bladder cancer. But only God has the final say. I will help you pray na negative ang biopsy result. Walang impossible sa Diyos." I was left speechless and full of fear. It was valentines day, but I was heartbroken. I quickly collected myself and said I don't want to waste my time sulking. It won't help me and it certainly won't heal me. I will give this to the Lord because I can't handle this with my own strength. Then I prayed to Jesus, "Your name is above any other name, Your name is above cancer and any disease! I pray that you give me more time to raise my kids and fulfill your purpose for my life, I surrender my life to you Lord. Your will be done. Whatever the result is, I will still praise and glorify you Jesus!" And after 2 weeks, the result came back negative. God is indeed faithful! He is indeed a miracle working and a promise keeping God!

After 2.5 years, I finally got to go home for vacation and be with my family. I thought it was going to be a happy vacation but there were a lot of struggles and betrayal that happened. I felt so heavy and was unhappy. But December came, I decided to visit home again and had this hope of family restoration. By the grace of God, before I was leaving the country again, my parents prayed with me and asked me for forgiveness. I said sorry too. It was such a relief and it felt so good, and after a long time, I can genuinely say that I am happy.

It has been months since me and my husband are waiting for our visa application to move. And finally, last night it changed status to: IN TRANSIT (our papers are now in transit to the US Embassy here in Manila). Just a quick background: My husband already tried applying before we've known each other as a nurse to the US, but a lot of hindrances were encountered. Now, that we are married, we firmly believe that God is making all things possible, in His perfect time. Thank you Lord, we are now a step closer to that dream.

I've been working abroad for almost 19 years and I thank God how He orchestrated my life in 2022. My father had cancer and was admitted in ICU (March 4) but I didn't go home. It took another 5 days (March9) before I went home holding to God's Word 2 Cor 12:9 as He promised.  I thank God that I reached the hospital he's alive and I was able to  take care of him even hospitalized and share the Gospel, he accepted  Jesus as the Lord and Savior before he died last March 28. I thank God for all the angels He sent to help us, prayed for us and  to support as financially. We have debts, but by the Grace of God we were able to pay.  I thank God for my family, for my siblings, extended family for sustaining them ,protecting them,  providing for them and for God's favors, blessing the works of their hands, all my siblings we're promoted.  In this life we shouldn't be alone, I joined VG here in Victory Fort to share life and volunteered at Kids church. During Midyear P&F, I asked God for vacation ( even I don't have work here in PH)  and guess what, God used  my relative to be a channel of blessing, me & my mom got a trip to Bohol (Aug), all paid expense trip.  Even gave money to buy pasalubong ( but I refused) and it didn't stop there by Sept my bestfriend invited me to Boracay. Indeed! All things are possible with God. I thank God for the opportunity to rebuild relationship with my family, relatives, friends and church community.  I thank God for provisions, protection, for always pursuing me and loving me unconditionally. Last Sept.I joined one organization to reach out for the next generation and their families, God used me, my family and friends as a channel of blessing, God has provided supernaturally, was able to raise 35% of their target fund. I may not have the corporate work but He met my needs so that I can be a blessing & meet the needs of others. Last Christmas, my relatives and friends share their blessings to me aside from the gifts that I received,  they've  asked my bank account number/gcash number.  I'm with my family for 10 months now this is the longest time I'm with them, praying for their salvation. I've learned that to obey is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel15:22). Waiting can be so painful  but it's never a wasted season. I' m maximizing every season, serving God, improving myself and doing what God called me to do. Seeking more of Him less of me and pray unceasingly. Thank you God for your faithfulness! I'm gonna make it through, cause I'm standing strong on You!

One of my prayers last year was to pass a (global certification) exam that I've been studying for almost a year. I did the very best I can because I wanted to pass so bad because I believe it will create more opportunities in my career and will help me and my family financially.

The result was supposed to come out the day of our prayer and fasting in 2022. Before the results arrive, God has already been telling me repeatedly to trust in Him and his plans. The results came out and I failed. I cried out so much and asked the Lord why? It's my second take already and I thought this time you will give it to me. He said again, TRUST and depend on me.

Truly, a week after that, I was promoted as an AVP in our company without me applying for the role, just 1 year into the team. I found out that it was just that year that it was allowed that you can be promoted to that role without series of interviews and usually, a minimum of 2 years is usually needed before you can be promoted.

Six months after that, my direct manager informed me that HR will be giving me a salary increase and it's an exception because it was only me in our team who was granted that (usually we only have year end increases).

Before the year ends, a Director in a different country in the same company messaged me if I am interested in a job there - in person. I can't help but be in awe of the miracles of God because I am supposed to put that in my faith goals for 2023 but I don't know how to go about it because of the competition we have globally.

A week before prayer and fasting this year, that director messaged me that they are already processing my work visa and preparing a formal offer.

Wow. Initially I only wanted to pass an exam and use it to help me achieve those things and "work for it" but I didn't know that God was already working in the background.

Even I cannot fathom how it all happened.
Of course, at times I feel anxious but I held on to his word which is to Trust in him and put Him first everyday.

So for everyone like me who is sometimes frustrated in their careers, I want to tell you to seek Him first, and in everything you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord and not for men, and all these things will be added unto you because he got you, just like how He got me.

Imagine being stucked in your job position in f-o-u-r years —- being compared to others, feeling pressured, feeling hopeless, unable to see direction —- who would have thought that this season will be having “unexpected” season in exchange? A testimony of He turned my mourning to dancing —- as I got promoted. Not just a promotion. A double promotion where in just 6 months, God let me face another job promotion. Indeed, perfect timing only comes from above. Thanks God for this season of waiting.

Last 2020 we received the news Husband was moving to a greater company but just as he was about to start in that new company. , his job offer was canceled due to pandemic . So was our visa . Our life in the middleeast for 10 years ended and we have to pack everything in just 2 weeks. We dont know how to tell our kids that we will be traveling for Philippines and life would not be the same anymore. We do not know what will happen to us back then. Despite of the situation we seek more to God , we remained hopeful, we did not stop worshiping him , we trusted him. We hold on to his verse “ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jerimiah 29:11. In just 2 months we had a bakery put up in our condo community that sustained us for almost 2 yrs. 2021 Husband had a regular job in the Government we thought it was his great plan for us but God was not finished yet he had a greater plan for us . In March 2022 we got a news that he was hired in a prestigious aviation engine onwing support . The package was ideal for a family to live with him abroad , tickets free , premium health insurance for all members ,relocation allowance for one month for all members includes hotel, food and shipping of our household items( I get to bring all my baking stuffs hassle free and no excess baggage in the airport ). We had not experience such benefits on our previous company. God was able to restore even more than what we had before .we moved in just 3 months, transistion was fast and smooth despite the situation of POEA and DFA strict protocols, we celebrated our christmas , new year and kids birthday in this almost perfect beautiful country UAE . We are as happy and blessed as ever . During the process of our great trial I realized our relationship to God became deeper , now we are fasting together with our kids (6 and 7 yrs old) , even our relationship as husband and wife became deeper and stronger. Gods plans is always the best. If we allow him to move in our household we will really experience great revival , restoration and bountiful blessings. This is a real Miracle we had in 2022. Healing in our relationship, provision for our family , guidance for our family and deliverance.

The entire week of fasting and seeking the Lord already is an answered prayer! The months prior to this fast, I have found my faith steadily weakening as I was faced with disappointment upon disappointment along with so much discouragement and frustration. I was felt so stuck and I really didn't know where to go anymore. I was already at a dead-end. But this week of just seeking the Lord with you, church, has restored my faith. Seeking the Lord and pausing to hear him has been a breath of fresh air. While I need deliverance from my situation, the Lord knew that, more than that, I needed a fresh focus on Him. He knew that I needed a renewed filling of His spirit and this fast was used by the Lord for that and is already my first miracle!
By the way, each of the messages this week just spoke life to me and my situation. Thank you so much, church because the Lord used you to restore my faith.
I am waiting in faith for the many miracles the Lord has in store for me and see how He will use them to advance His Kingdom! the Lord be praised!

Healing from Church and Family Trauma and Spiritual Revival

# data[].attributes.body
The day before the start of Prayer and Fasting Week, I suddenly lost my job. I did not understand why it happened back then. But then it seems that the Lord wanted me to encounter Him in a new way this week, and so He encouraged me to undergo prayer and fasting, which is my first time to do so despite that I have been a Christian all my life.

For the past two years, my life took a sudden turn when I had to break free from psychological abuse and domestic violence caused by my father ever since I was young. I started the journey feeling so angry and distrustful towards the world and the church, because the previous church that I belonged in condoned my father's abusive behavior and did not intervene to help us recover. I underwent therapy for two years, and was diagnosed with Complex PTSD.

I experienced so many losses, and felt isolated by the world because no one could ever fully understand what I have gone through and what my condition actually is, and how trauma affected every aspect of my life including my church life. It was also the reason why I stopped serving in church, which I really loved to do ever since I was in high school.

But then, this encounter with Jesus this prayer and fasting opened my heart and my spiritual eyes again. I heard Him clearly say, "Look at Me. Everything is going to be okay." His Word for me was so fresh and alive that I couldn't help but cry and rest in the assurance that He is the one rebuilding my life.

At Day 3 of Prayer and Fasting and during the 7PM prayer service, I felt a tug in my heart to listen more about God's call to bring me back to serving Him in ministry. It has been ten years since the last time I served Him in church, and right now I am undergoing the journey of listening more to His instructions about it. I am not sure as to where He will be placing me, but I know that it will be in a place where I can serve others in love as well.

I am also thankful that Jesus placed me in Victory, a church that He used for me to become a haven of healing since last year. I am forever grateful for meeting my Victory group leader, who supported my all the way in this journey. I am still in the process of praying for my pain and forgiveness towards those who have hurt me--especially my father, but my heart is open to the thought that one day He will use my pain as testimony for others so that they can also overcome.

To Him be all the glory and honor and praise. Thank you dear church family for encouraging me to encounter Jesus again as my Savior, Father, Healer, and Best Friend. <3

My son got involved in annargument with the Ship’s Captain. Got an evaluation for a “not for rehire” fron the Captain. We were devastated. Troubled. While i was praying for my son’s promotion as Chief Cook, what happened was a total disappoinment. I ask God… why? Praying for promotion and my son’s career is in deep trouble.
I prayed. I praise God. Nakauwi ng maayos ang anak ko. May problema but God is still with us. My son is the only one who is earning for us. Widow na ako. Only son. I continued praying. I ask God for His guidance. Ituro saken ang dapat namin gawin. Kung sino ang taong makakatulong para makasakay uli sa barko ang anak ko. We exerted all our efforts; but failed!😭
Nagdasal pa din ako.. I give encouragements sa anak ko na God has a bigger plan for his career. Niligtas siya ni Jesus sa mas malaking problema pa sa company na yun. I pray. Pray and pray. I told my son, “anak, apply ka online”. Marami siyang apply sa mga shipping companies.
Comes our Prayer and Fasting 2023. I saw the theme MIRACLES.
I know deep in my heart, eto na yun🙏. God will show us how Great Jesus is. Faithful God is all i have. That Jesus will intervene in my son’s life and career.
And true enough! Second day pa lang ng prayer and fasting, we received an email from a shipping company. My son is qualified. Yestetday, nag interview na siya, and he passed. Today is the last interview, and i have faith, and i trust God, tuloy na tuloy na ang new opportunity sa career ng anak ko. Sasakay uli siya sa barko! I claim it in Keusu Name! Salamat.
One more mirackes! Yes not one but two!🙏🙏

Our 23-weeker baby turned 1 year old last January 5, 2023. Born before the age of viability, 460 grams, just about the size of a small bottle of water. Survived and thrived for 143 days at the NICU. No words will ever be enough to express how thankful we are to God for blessing us with this little boy, our miracle baby, who taught us how to be patient, inspired us, and showed us the power of faith and prayer. The road wasn't easy, but with God, there's always hope and all things are possible. He also sent us so many people who helped us through this journey and we are forever grateful. All glory to Him!

It's been 6-7 years when God give me this heart for the Nation of the World which I believe and I know that God is calling me to become a Missionary. Back 2015 and 2016 that I was not able to be part of the Ten Days Mission back then but I never give up still believing that God will give me a chance to be use and work in the field for a couple of weeks. During my Leadership 113 last 2017, God confirmed and revealed me that I will be doing and part of the Ten Days Mission Trip in Cambodia last October 2017 which I saw a great and awesome move in that trip and eventually after the Ten Days in Cambodia, I was also able to be part in Ten Days Mission Trip in Myanmar last May 2018 and same word and he affirmed me that he will be there what ever it takes. Back in 2020, I supposed to go to Indonesia as a  Tent Maker but Pandemic started across the glove and I was not be able to go and pursue my calling and eventually I asked and questioned God why is that so? why is this happening to us? and in the span of almost 3 years God was able to answer those questions and I'm very much thankful and blessed how Abba moves towards to my life and my season. And Now, God, Abba, already confirmed and affirmed me throughout this year Prayer, Fasting, and Consecration that I will be part of the global works as I obey his calling for me to the nations of the world.

the last time i knelt down for the Lord, i was begging for Him to take my life away because the pain has just been unbearable for years already. but during the prayer meeting, when we were asked to kneel down, i bursted out crying like a child. i felt like God was telling me that He has seen it all, He has bottled every tear and that
pain i had to go through was not for nothing. i believe God has put me through the lowest of the lows to be able to testify for Him one day on how He remained faithful with his journey with me.

It was in 2021 and my now sister-in-law was about to get married. We are scheduled to travel to the province to attend the wedding but a week before, my then boyfriend who is now my husband got sick.

He started feeling the covid like symptoms for 3 consecutive days, got better and then felt the same again a few days later. We were not yet vaccinated and the Delta variant was rampant at that time so for safety reasons we just stayed at home. Sadly, we weren’t able to attend the wedding.

We isolated and my husband got tested and the next day, I started feeling sick as well. I had high fever and awful diarrhea which are also Covid symptoms. I was not surprised as I was a close contact of my husband who is at that time a potential covid positive.

Myself and my son got tested. My primary concern is to ensure my son is tested negative so that as soon as we get his results we can get him as far away from us as possible to protect him from contracting the virus from us.

The next morning my husband’s test results came and confirmed that he’s Covid positive. We were surrounded by fear and anxiety at that moment. Then a life changing encounter happened.

My husband who is a born again Christian by birth, but decided to take a path away from God suddenly heard the Lord’s voice saying “Lumapit ka na sakin. Hindi mo na yan kaya”. He even remembered ignoring that voice and told himself he can do it alone, but truly the power of the Holy Spirit will prevail. He admitted he hasn’t prayed for many years but that voice made him pray. “Lord ako na lang, wag na ang family ko”.

Night time came and he received a call from his father who is a pastor. Note that they haven’t been in constant communication but his father at that time called him to check up on him without even knowing he is sick. After that, we all got together in a zoom call together with his father’s church members and prayed for healing to be upon us.

The next day we received our test results. I immediately opened my son’s. Praise be to God for the negative results! I almost didn’t bother opening mine as I am certain it was positive as I’m a close contact and because of the symptoms I’m experiencing, I told myself I’ll just focus on getting better. Just out of curiosity I still checked and lo and behold when I opened the email the word NEGATIVE came flashing.

For the first time ever in my life I truly understood that He is God! Nothing is impossible with him. Truly God is a miracle working God! He is the only one who can do supernatural things in our life that we cannot even comprehend!

A few days later we got better. After this encounter, I surrendered my life to Him and our family began walking with God. The same year we got married and are now continuing our walk with God. This is our family’s testimony. Glory to God!

2 of our faith goals this year were:

1. To be able to faithfully partner with the workers in the nations.
2. Promotion for my husband.

This morning (Jan 13th), I opened my husband's online banking and saw an amount that would cover our monthly gift for the 4 nations that we are praying for. It was actually MORE than enough that we could still give tithes on top of the gift for the workers. And we didn't know where the funds came from.

My husband was scheduled to be interviewed last night for the promotion. Days before that he hugged me and told me he was anxious about it. Yesterday morning after my devotion I shared with him what I read about praying and seeking God. It was in Jeremiah 33:3. After that he didn't do anything else to prepare other than praying. Last night's interview went well and he told me that God was his confidence.
Tonight, we received the news that he got the job!

All glory, honor and praises to God!!!!

P.S
Also part of our prayer was for favor in  his schedule to be able to serve in the ministry. And praise God it was granted!!!😭🙏💕

After almost 5 years of being an illegal resident of UAE, finally, God delivered me and now I am a legal resident here. I have now my own UAE Residence Visa and Emirates  ID too. Plus, another favour is I will get to surprise my mom on her birthday this 5th February as I am going to the Philippines for a 2-3 months vacation. Additional favour is I'll send out cargo boxes full of necessities and other stuff back home. I haven't been back to the Philippines because of financial issue for the past 8 years.

I was once a sinking ship. The weight of the anchor of my past kept me drowning, slowly killing me in the depths of depression. The pain of discovering the cheating of my dad in our house with a relative kills the once high spirited woman in me. But through the help of a friend, who invited me to attend a Sunday worship, the song SAFE and the words of Pastor Paulo  about the sinking ship made me realize that  no matter what/who it is that is holding me back from being saved, now is the time to choose on letting it go and to forgive. I was once devastated but through that one service, I learn to choose to let go and forgive.

Today, through guidance and in hopes of completely forgiving and forgetting, I am now starting a new life in Australia, away from my once home in the Philippines to build myself again so that I can completely acknowledge my past and embrace it.

Glory to God.
My ongoing journey on forgiving is like sailing on a stormy seas. But through my Faith in Him, I know I am SAFE.

God reveals Himself and do mighty works even to this day.

Just wanna encourage everyone thru sharing some revelation and some miracles He has done in my life.

Ever since I was young, God has kept on pursuing me. He shown Himself to me in a dream and brought me in heaven when I was 6 or 7. From a far hill, He brought me close to Him. Then, in 2008 during college days, God thru a friend of mine brought their Pastor to plant a seed to us. Young then but I accepted and believed in Jesus. Wanted to be converted but my mother opposed as their lineage is puro mga madre at pari. In year 2019, Jesus showed up to me in a vision and shaken up my life. And that year as well while serving, my spirit was moved to surrender my life to God. I asked God then what to do. And there the Holy Spirit showed Himself to me and from then on I followed Him.

I share His word in a group of people where He asked me and witnessed How powerful He is (stopping and resuming the pour out of rain, parting the dogs in the way, witnessing heavens open as people surrender their life to Him). He led me in Victory last 2020, and got baptized last year despite of the oppositions.

I was held back for a moment but standing once again to advance His kingdom.

Truly, He is a miracle working God. Our God is alive.

Before the year 2022 ends, I faced an issue with my work that really stumbled me emotionally, mentally, & spiritually. It was a mistake on my end and I was really praying hard that it will be resolved before the year ends, so I can celebrate Christmas and New Year peacefully. However, it didn't happened.

The resolution cannot be solved by me so I fully relied and trusted God that He will work mysteriously amidst my situation. During the prayer and fasting, it felt that God is teaching me something more than asking Him to answer my prayer. It was a season of breaking & learning. During that season, God reminded me of WHO he is in my circumstance not WHAT my circumstance is. God continously reminded me of this verse in Exodus

“Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today."
Exodus 14:13

God reminded be not to be afraid and fully seek Him and trust Him. During the prayer & fasting, God impressed to me that He is arranging the mistaken pieces that I made and I need to be still and trust Him.

And, God is really a God of perfect timing. Right after the last day of fasting, I received a miraculous news that the issue I was worried about was RESOLVED! And the resolution was more than I was praying for! Not just that, the same day I received the good news is the same day I received another answered prayer to one of my faith goals for 2023! Really, God is a promise-keeper God! Praise and glory to you, Lord! 🙏☝️🙌

I have been praying for a financial provision to enroll in an online course to improve my skills. God answered my prayer this week and provided almost the exact amount of the tuition that I need to pay for the course at an international university!

Learning about the condition that I have was never easy. It started with one test that has something to do with my stroke. When the doctor found out that my PSA was high, he ordered another kind of test and another until it ended in a biopsy.  I believe that as I go through this season of my life, God’s hand is upon us, as always. He is indeed a God of miracles! My HMO declared that the biopsy procedure will not be covered. Honestly, this bothered me because we need to raise funds for the procedure. And so we were able to have the amount and went through with the procedure. My wife, daughter and other people continue to pray. The first miracle came. While I was under the procedure, my wife is coordinating with our HMO and praying. You guessed it right! Our HMO overturned their first decision and covered the expenses for the biopsy. Praise God! It just amazes us how God works in ways we’re not expecting and is always in the right time. His work is always a testimony of His faithfulness which reminds us of who He is and who we have. The second miracle is the miracle of peace. When the result of the biopsy came, it confirmed that I do have prostate cancer., Naturally when you learn something that will negatively change your life, devastation will creep in and you will start to worry. But with God’s mercy, He poured out His peace on us. It is so amazing that He lets you feel that everything will be OK. During our weakest moment He is strong. It just dawned on me that my time now is a bonus if not for His mercy and grace. I should have been gone when someone fired a gun pointed in my heart at an arm's length in 2002. His miracle took over using the bone in my arm and the fat in my belly to save me from the bullet which only has one purpose and that is to kill me. In 2018, again, I should have been gone when I suffered from stroke. Amazingly He was in control of everything and promised that I would recover. and I did! I can now really say that to live is Christ and to die is gain. And just recently the third miracle came as he provided the fund for my Bone Scan. God used people to take away our financial worries for the bone scan procedure.  All of these things happened for a purpose and that is to point to the true character of God. God indeed is a God of miracle, mercy and love. Thank you. I am not out of the woods yet but I am already victorious in Christ! No matter what happens, I will praise His name forever!
