dramas of my life

Everyday, I make it a point to visit my blog stats just so I may have the knowledge of what has glued people to my blog. What are the terms that they feed the search engine so that it directs them to my blog.

And everyday I see a name. A name that has been close to my heart because I believed in him and I believed that he is a big part of where I am right now : A person with LUPUS in remission and a mother to ever growing daughter.

The name is FATHER JOEY FALLER.

Most of those who end up in my blog are looking for his website and his schedule. So for those of you out there the website you can visit www.joeyfaller.org. In the website you can see the schedules of Father Joey.

Believed me you won’t regret attending his healing mass. I can attest to that.

I first heard about Father Joey in Korina Sanchez’s program. Korina even attest to the fact that her medical condition improved after being prayed over by Father Joey. I am not the person who readily believes on faith healers and the like. But I don’t know. When I saw Father Joey, I just knew in my heart that I needed to attend to one of his healing mass even if it means going to the province of  Quezon inspite of my condition.

I was pregnant then. Pregnant to our first baby. You see I have already surpassed then what seems to be impossible. I have been battling the rare disease LUPUS for four years and have been diagnosed with pleurisy of the lungs that I need to be operated, upon recovery from the operation my doctors found out that I have pulmonary embolism, and then when they are doing an ultrasound in my kidney they accidentally saw that i have cyst in my ovary. When I got married, it seems we are dreading a path of a childless relationship but we keep the faith.

I got pregnant but my doctor is somehow doubting about my baby. You see, she might get affected by the medicine that I am taking for pulmonary embolism. Moreso, he told me I needed to change medicine. The new medicine he is going to prescribe cost Php 900+ and is to be injected daily on my stomach. We needed to this he said to make sure that I wont have a blod clot during the period of my pregnancy which might cause paralysis or death to me and to my unborn.

I was both happy and sad at the same time. But what keep me and my husband going is our faith. And when I saw Father Joey on tv, I told myself  he is God’s answer for all my worries.

Luckily before we even plan to go to Quezon, an officemate told my husband has a healing mass in the Divine Mercy Shrine in Mandaluyong. Our officemate have already saw Fr. Joey’s healing miracle through her Grandmother. You see, God is really helping us. Instead of us going to Quezon HE made our trip nearer. So on January 4, 2006, when the streets of Manila were clogged because of the Manny Pacquio motorcade, hubby and I are the Divine Merch Shrine witnessing God’s Miracle through Father Joey.

After the mass, knowing that I was healed, I declined to take the medicine that my doctor prescribed. Although of course there are times that I worry but I keep the faith.

My baby is now 14 months and fortunately for me all the LUPUS symptoms that I have experienced in the past, were..a thing of the past.

I believed that I was healed, no matter what others say. And when there are times when I needed his healing, I use the rosary I received during his healing mass in the Divine Mercy Shrine.

After my delivery and now that I am a mom and in remission of LUPUS, as much as I can, I still try to attend his healing mass and if I can’t I watch his healing mass on Channel 4 and just last Sunday he was the celebrant on the mass in Channel 2. I always feel God’s hand working on him.
