Blood Test All Good - Thank you Lord.

Today was my hubby's schedule for his blood work for his surgery. Thank you Lord very much for the doctor said that his blood tests are all good. Thank you Lord. Eventhough we had a fight/misunderstanding a night prior to his tests and was worried it would add stress to him but so grateful to You Lord. Enough for our papers right now Lord but lifting to You Lord the things that are beyond our control. Be with us always Lord especially during and after the operation of my hubby. I will not be there physically Lord but I know You will be there. Thank You Lord.

Surgery Date

The nurse called my hubby today for the date of his surgery and that will be on March 15 and March 16 my time. Lord, please be his surgeon. Thank You Lord.

Appointment to the Surgeon

Today was my hubby's appointment to his surgeon. Thank God for his sister was there with him. You know how feel Lord that I couldn't be there for my hubby especially during his hard times. But I know Lord that You are always there for Him. Thank You Lord. His sister told me what happened to my hubby's appointment today and he was so nervous of what the doctor said that the cancer might have spread already to his liver and lungs and that he might die during the surgery. What the doctor said was really scary Lord especially to my hubby who is confused of his beliefs. The doctor said that he needs to trust God but hubby replied that he doesn't trust God. I admit Lord, I was also scared of what the doctor said but what else I can do Lord? but to lift my worries to You for worrying won't help the problem. Thank You Lord for being there for us Lord. I know Lord that even if my hubby is doubting but You are always there for him Lord for You love us so much. I couldn't be there for him Lord these trying times but always praying for him Lord and You know that Lord. Thank you so much Lord. Thank you for hubby likes his work too much and makes him busy and not to think too much of his situation. Thank You for everything. I love you Lord.

Hopeless Husband - Thanks for Sharing

Perseverance: steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., esp. in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement…

Do you feel hopeless in your marriage or with your spouse? Do you have a Hopeless Husband or a Hopeless Wife?  If so, this post is for you!

A lot of people read the Family and Relationship posts here at TheWayItCouldBe.com and think I must have the perfect marriage and be the perfect husband.  On the contrary, we have come a long way and I am FAR from perfect(an interview with Macy).

Once, I sort of felt like a Hopeless Husband.  When my amazing wife Macy and I first got married eight years ago, I’d come home in the evenings and sort of go comatose in the recliner.  I was working super long hours and spent about half of my work day on the phone.  By the time I got home, I had used up all my words!  My poor wife was ready to talk when I walked in the door.   Often she seemed devastated that I wasn’t ready to engage when I got home.

In the midst of her frustration, I think she began to learn how to make a difference in my life.  If you are in a similar place in your family, here are some thoughts for you:

1. Make the decision to persevere.  No one ever said commitment was easy.  No one ever promised that you wouldn’t be stretched. Newt Gingrich once said, “Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of the hard work you already did.” Smoke on that for awhile. Decide that you will persist.

2. Kick discouragement in the teeth. Don’t give into discouragement.  This is a choice you have. Don’t go there. Fight back and don’t be discouraged. Take a stand for your marriage!

3. Speak life into your spouse. They need for you to believe in them even if they don’t believe in themselves. Speak words of life into them. Write them notes. Try not to belittle them. They need your respect.  They need you to be patient.

4. Pray for your spouse. You don’t have what they need. Seriously. That will take the pressure off right there.  Pray. Pray. Pray. You can’t change them.  Prayer can.

5. Celebrate even the smallest victories.  Eventually, you’ll notice small victories and change. Celebrate like crazy! Brag on your spouse.  Instead of dwelling on their shortcomings, celebrate the things that you love about them.  Thank them for what you see in them.

Before long, you will see more change. Be patient. Be loving. My wife has made more of a difference in my life than anyone I know. I believe God has used her in a variety of ways to take me from a Hopeless Husband into the man I am today (Still not perfect though). If you know any Hopeless Husbands or Wives out there, don’t lose hope.  Choose to persevere, don’t get discouraged, speak life into them, pray for them, and then celebrate even the smallest change!

Chemoradiation 28 Rounds Done - Thank you Lord

Today is my hubby's last day for his 28 rounds of chemoradiation. Thank You so much Lord.

Happy Birthday Lord Jesus!

Happy Birthday Lord Jesus. Thank you so much for everything. Thank you for you've done for us Lord and for all the blessings. Thank you for your unconditional love and for being there always especially during difficult times.

It is tough day for me Lord because hubby again was angry with you. Lord, I am also hurt everytime hubby blames and tells something bad about you. I am sorry Lord and I know it's not him, he is just so much in pain and having this hard time really stresses him so much. 

I cried, cried, prayed, prayed, until I felt asleep. Thank you Lord when I woke up I felt relieved but still couldn't help but tears fell from my eyes. You know Lord what I and my hubby have been going through these days. Lord, we are having hard times especially my hubby who is sick. Yes Lord, it is very real that it is very hard to understand your plans for us right now but I told him that I trust You Lord and I trust your plans for me/us. We had some arguments today.

I love you Lord. It is your day.

Healing Guidelines Prayer for Healing

Healing Guidelines Prayer for Healing and Rebirth by Sister Raquel Reodica, RVM
At 8:00 a.m. every morning, find a quiet place. Attune your spirit to Jesus through His blessed Mother Mary. Read slowly with your heart this prayer. Express silently your deep desire for complete healing. This is your one-on-one prayer with Jesus. Our Father in heaven, Creator of my body, wherein I (state your name) dwell and through which I live, make me realize in the name of JESUS that my present bodily ailment is a result of my own sins, my wrong doings, my wrong thinking, my transgressions against Your laws.
I ask forgiveness, Jesus, for these wrong doings, and promise to change my ways. Make me realize, in the name of JESUS, that Your creative power, which fashioned my body, is still in me, in my consciousness, in my mind, ready to serve me at any time of need. Make me realize that I, in my free will, now have control over this creative power within me which I can direct to act for my own well being, but only if my thoughts and feelings are attuned to You. In full realization of this, I NOW CALL UPON YOUR CREATIVE POWER within me, O Lord God, in Jesus' name, to correct and eliminate any and all my bodily imperfections and diseases and discomforts.
I KNOW AND EXPECT THAT MY REBIRTH IS NOW ACTIVELY TAKING PLACE WITHIN ME because of Your creative love and mercy, and Your healing grace in my every cell and nerve and gland and tissue and fiber and organ, especially my: (state any or all sicknesses). In accordance with my vision and my active FAITH IN YOU, MY ALMIGHTY GOD, CREATOR AND LORD, IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF MOTHER MARY, through the intercessions of MOTHER IGNACIA DEL ESPIRITU SANTO and all Your saints, I am healed. Amen. Amen. Amen After praying, remain in silence for 15 to 20 minutes in the presence of the Lord, and in meditation of receiving His healing. Preparations for Healing eastwind First of all, healing is between you and the Lord. Sister Raquel, holy water, blessed towels, or any other medium are just tools of the Lord for healing you. They do not heal by themselves but are „bridges‟ of the Lord to you. Sister Raquel does not have the power to heal, only the Lord through her.
Without spiritual preparation and spiritual transformation, there can be no healing. Healing cannot happen in a snap or a simple pray-over. It is not like turning a switch off and on. It involves a spiritual process. The person to be healed must undergo a SPIRITUAL CLEANSING prior to healing. Spiritual healing precedes physical healing. Return first to the Lord and submit to Him your entire being so He can heal you. People who were healed by Sister Raquel all speak about the change in their lives, the loss of impatience and sudden anger, the goodwill for people, and most

especially the consequent inner peace derived from this spiritual transformation or cleansing. Here are simple guideline from Sister Raquel – pray and meditate often talk to Jesus in a casual conversation He is beside you more than you know pause for a moment and think of your past sins whom did you hurt or exploit or maltreat a housemaid, a friend, a spouse, your children? whom can you not forgive for things they did to you? without forgiveness it is hard to be healed even with all the prayers and healing visits you make ask for forgiveness for injustice and hurt you have done to others and forgive others who have hurt you no matter how serious resolve to correct your sinful ways resolve not to be cranky or impatient with people especially small people such as maids, drivers, workers help and give to others according to your capacity especially the poor do not just give money or material items give yourself, your goodwill, and your time no matter how busy you are only then can you ask the Lord to heal you when you are spiritually clean once you are pleasing to the Lord your healing is already in process as soon as you begin to pray and ask Him for healing invoke the intercession of Mother Mary, St. Joseph, and Mother Ignacia

It is also the message of the healings of Sister Raquel. Every terminal cancer she heals has the same message as the Bible, return to the Lord and be blessed. Healing is a product of conversion, of returning to the Lord.
