I woke up today before 7 am and did my daily devotion. I did my laundry this morning and it was a lot. I got done around 10 am and talked to my hubby after. We didnot talk longer because I needed to leave to attend the Holy Eucharist and novena to the mother of perpetual help. I was able to start it this new year and I will do my best to this novena and attend mass every Wednesday to the best that I could, help me Lord.
During the mass, they played the song entitled " Lord, I offer my Life" and couldn't help but tears started to run down from my eyes. I was just listening to that song last night and I felt the song and while doing laundry I also sang that song. I said wow Lord, it is not a coincidence but You really have a message to me. Lord, I offer myself to You, especially this trial me and my hubby are facing right now - use it for Your glory Lord. I am really amazed Lord and so much learning this year, thank you so much Lord. I told my hubby that I am growing but he said he is not. I am doing my best to be positive and apply the faith You have given me Lord. The Gospel reading and the homily of the priest really touched me today. It is about do not fear for anything especially during trials and problems because they are ways for us to deepen our relationship with God. I understand now that my hubby is in tough battle and I need to accept him and love him unconditionally just like You do to us Lord. I can't do it alone Lord, I need You always. Please Lord help my hubby to open his heart to You and feel Your love. Thank You Lord.
After the mass, I decided to go to NCCC mall to roam around. But prior to leaving the church, I saw the Black Nazerene relic outside the church ready for the procession at 3pm. I said to myself, I wouldn't go. While inside the mall, I was just roaming around until I got tired and decided to go home and the time during that time was 2:35 pm. While waiting for a jeep,I remembered the Black Nazarene that the procession would start at 3pm. It took me long to decide to go or not and finally decided not to go. While the jeep was along Magsaysay street and the Sta. Ana church is just two blocks away, I decided to attend, witness and experience this big event that many Filipinos are devoted. I walked fast so I could still make it because it was already 3pm. When I arrived in the church, the procession already left and I didnot know the way. Thank God there was a woman with her 2 kids that knew the route. So I went with them, when I reached in Agdao, I was about to just go home but then the woman told me to go in a shortcut way so I had no choice but to go with them. Wow, amazing because finally I was able to witness and experience the Feast of Jesus the Black Nazarene. Thank You Lord for leading me for how many times I decided to go home but my mind was to You. You know what I did today Lord, I was able to touch your clothes and cross and I know you heard my prayers and will answer it according to Your will. I trust You Lord. I will not be greedy not to tell everyone of the miracles I received. Thank You Lord for today. What a day! I love it. It is another first time for me. Whew! I will treasure this Lord.
What I read last night - Faith is not just believing.. It is believing that something good will happen. Yes Lord. Please help me Lord to have faith 100%, no doubt. Only you Lord can give that for to have a faith like that is a gift from You.
I love You Lord. Viva Black Nazarene! Viva!
