Learning Curves

The most challenging aspect lies in taking that initial step forward to break free from the grieving process. It involves telling oneself, “Enough with self-pity, stand up, and rebuild.” Without this movement, happiness and connections with appreciative individuals remain out of reach.

Despite immersing myself in self-care podcasts and motivational content, I found a halt. Numerous blogs on overcoming disappointment complicated matters. The realization struck: external resources won’t aid unless I actively embrace them. Acknowledging pain, allowing grief, releasing invested efforts, and embracing the journey toward a better self are crucial steps.

No one else can rescue me from this cycle; self-help is paramount. I’ve learned to accept pain, grieve, release, and emerge stronger. This self-directed approach facilitates moving forward, resetting plans, and adhering to goals. In 2024, my focus is on personal contentment, sustaining a simple life, and cherishing moments with loved ones.

Reflecting on the past four years, I neglected my happiness while striving to please others. Our marriage suffered as we battled depression and anxiety. Ironically, I now experience the same struggles my husband overcame. His support in my growth process is invaluable, emphasizing the difficulty of facing and letting go of pain.

Breaking the cycle demands courage and perseverance. It’s not an easy journey, requiring endurance until the pain subsides. I am determined to walk this healing path, confident that, in the end, my genuine smile of bliss will emerge. This journey hurts, but I endure, knowing that through it, I will find true healing and happiness.

This is how my first 16 days of 365 pages of 2017. Sad to say that every week I encountered a doctor’s appointment. I hope that this 16th day will be the last appointment. I need to get back my work because I have lots of things to do.

The doctor can’t also explain why I am still in pain because everything is normal according to the ECG result. So rare case.

The Power of Healing

Our religious faith creates miracle that science can’t explain. We are just human who believes in someone who is greater than us. God works with us. We believed in God even though we didn’t come in eye to eye contact with our faith in Him. He is truly with us.

He knows when to make us stop from being busy doing things for our living that we forgot to nourish our faith in Him. He knows when the right things to happen. Even the worse things He created has different purpose in our lives. We should not blamed Him for all the hard times we are facing because He always did it for us to know the true meaning of life’s journey.

For almost a week off from work, I feel His presence and how He works through my family who never fails to protect me. Their unconditional loves and tender care during the times I cried in pain brings me closer to God again. And because of this I proclaim the name of Jesus  our true healer.

These past weeks I’ve been suffering from  unexplained illness. Four days ago before New Year came, my hubby and I repainted and restored our working room for a change as we continue our 2017 life’s journey. We have decided to take away the old table matles hooked in our room ceilings  for several years and replaced it with plywood. Then we painted it along with the walls surrounded our working area. Because of the bad odors caused by the paint, I suffered from dry cough and then due to the dirts stored inside the table mantles hooked in our ceilings, I suffered from allergies. In short, I got sick and have fever for two days.

It was December 30, 2016 that I’ve found out my tonsilitis. Since it was holiday and everyone went to vacation, I have to bear the pain until New Year. Then I made an appointment with the specialist to cure my growing tonsil. She prescribed a medicine that quickly relieved my sore throat. The medicine was quiet effective but along my medication, I suddenly feel a chest pain. On the 3rd day of taking my medication, the pain got worse as I can’t move my left arm and my left underarm became numb.

As I am done with the 7 days of taking antibiotic, my chest pain got worse that I can’t even sleep well and I have hard times moving my left arm because some veins keeps tingling on my chest. I took several days out from my work. I went back to the physician then she preescribed again another medicine to relieve my pain but nothing changed. The pain keeps hurting me to the point I cried in pain. I tried to make an appointment to another physician but sad to say, I got wrong timing due to the one-week celebration of festivity in our town. The physicians are not available so I have to take my anti-inflammatory pills to subside the pain.

Until my Aunt suggested to apply Padre Pio Blessed Oil for my healing with sincere prayer and outmost faith in God. The first night I applied the Blessed Oil in my left arm and in my chest area, I whispered a silent prayer, “Padre Pio, I know you are blessed by God the healing power to cure any illness. With your faith, help me reached my petition of healing to our Merciful Father in Jesus name that I may relieved from this illness”. Then I say 3 Lord’s prayer and 3 Hail Mary. I closed my eyes and whispered, “I believed in You, Jesus, You are a great healer of Your time and until now, I know You will heal me, Amen”. Suddenly, I can move my left arm slowly until I forgot the pain. Less pain now… that night, I slept so well and the following morning I get up without the help of my hubby. I whispered again, “Thank You Lord Jesus for Your healing power”.

If the medicine can’t cured your physical pain, your faith can help you restored your body. No pills or tablets can heal any human sufferings whether it is physical, emotional or mental without having a great faith in God. Jesus is our true healer.

All you need to do is pray, He is waiting.
