10 Things I did for L-O-V-E

1. Wished in every falling star I have seen since my highschool days, "Sana mahalin n'ya ako katulad ng pagmamahal ko sa kanya para hindi na ako masaktan."

2. Prayed at adoration chapel everyday for 2 months when I was in my senior year in highschool , "Lord, kung s'ya po talaga ang para sa akin sana maging kami na pero kung di talaga ilayo n'yo na lang."

3. Religiously went to St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of the impossible, every Thursday to hear mass and light a pink candle symbolizing love praying, "Lord, sana makilala ko na ang Mr. Right ko."

4. Went to different churches even visited as far as Batangas and Davao even one in Lake Tahoe, California because someone told me on your first visit to a church you can make a wish, "Lord, sana makilala ko na ang ipinadala mo sa akin na Mr. Right."

5. Visited Quiapo church and bought a pair of candle molded into a girl and a boy they said light it up make a wish and bind it together so you and loved one will stay together, "Lord, sana kami na habambuhay." 

6. Kept his picture under my pillow because they said that he will think of you the whole night, I say this before I sleep, "Sana hindi ka makatulog at maisip mo ako."

7. Completed 9 days of Dawn Masses (Simbang Gabi) because they said that if you completed it you are entitled to a gift, God will answer your prayer, "Lord, sana sya na."

8. Completed a novena for special prayers, as far as I remember this is how it works, for 9 days pray a special prayer inside a church and leave 9 copies of the novena every day and they say your wish will be granted, "Lord, please give me a sign kung talagang s'ya."

9. Offered 3 days of fasting and prayers to let God answer my questions, "Lord, will I still hang on to this relationship or let it go."

10. Offered 100 days of prayers for the Poor Souls in Purgatory it is believed that souls in purgatory who are under going cleansing of their souls are closer to God so ask them to pray for you and God will hear it first hand through them, "For the souls in purgatory please help me pray for my relationship with my boyfriend may we surpass this trial I promise to pray 50 more days for your souls."

In my long journey of finding Mr. Right, I prayed hard and hold on to my faith in God believing there is really someone meant for me. I never gave up and 12 years after, I found my Mr. Right who I am going to spend the rest of my life with. Worth the wait!

An Angel in Disguise

Me and my husband were heading to the airport, I was going to California for a month vacation to visit my family.  We were waiting for a taxi for almost 10 minutes and we were becoming irritated because all the taxi  were either hired or on call. I told my husband maybe we can take the bus because I was in the verge of missing my flight. To our surprise even the buses were all full and can’t even take anymore passengers. And so I remembered  to call a friend through prayer and I asked my husband to pray with me.

We whispered, “Lord, please send us a cab that will take us to the airport on time. Please help us not to miss my  flight.”

Then after a few minutes we finally got to spot a cab that wasn’t hired and we immediately waved at him.  The cab stopped and while my husband was loading my suitcases a man approached him and  asked if we were heading to the airport and if he could share the ride with us because he is in a hurry and he will just share half of the bill. We don’t see any problem so we said, “Sure.”

Few minutes later, we arrived in the airport we saw him handing the money to driver. Then after we got our suitcases we asked the man how much we have to pay him.
 Then he said, “Its ok I got it. God bless you on your journey. I’m an airport police. Thank you for sharing the cab with me.”

Me and my husband were both smiling while saying, "thank you so much", our eyes can’t believe that a miracle just happened more than what we asked for. We just prayed for a cab and God even took care of the bill for us. What an amazing Lord we have!

Most of the times when we encounter problems we tend to solve it by ourselves remember it is written in the bible in Psalm 86: 6-7 “Please listen, Lord! Answer my prayer for help. When I am in trouble, I pray knowing you will listen.

Everyday, miracles do happen because God just simply loves each one of us so be aware and give Him praise.
