Oftentimes now it is hard to believe that we have in our midst a life threatening disease.
When Ernie was newly diagnozed, I made sure he would have all comforts of someone at home and in bed - cable tv (we haven't had cable tv in more than 10 years), a new lounge chair to enjoy watching, lots of entertaining and funny dvds, plus his oxygen therapy among others. I imagined he would be sleeping a lot and losing his appetite. The thought of Ernie throwing up, feeling bad and experiencing pain was something I battled to banish from my mind-with much effort and prayers.
But no one can really tell what God's plan is for our lives.
Our day to day activities are pretty much back to normal. Ernie can do anything, drive, garden, tinker in the house, enjoy going out of town (recently Tarlac, Batangas, Cebu and lately Iloilo)-his energy is unbelievable. He has kept his weight, loves eating (now very conscious of what he eats) and loves being with friends. family and business associates. He is his same "madaldal" and "makwento" self- plus"kalog" all the time.
If you saw him, you would find it hard to believe he is being treated for cancer. No side effects whatsoever!
Our lives revolve around our spiritual relationship with the LORD-all our strength and healing comes only from HIM. Jesus suffered and died on the cross for our sins and diseases.Jesus is the same before, now and forever! By HIS stripes, Ernie is healed. Ryan is healed. I am healed! We claim it!
All glory and praise to You Lord JESUS CHRIST!
