ENCHANTED!!!

Another blessing...someone gave us free tickets to Enchanted Kingdom. After everything that has happened to me, I did not expect to go on the rides again, much less enjoy them. My wife was telling me that maybe this is the Lord's way of making me catch up with 2 years of not going out with my family.

excited!

let's go to the rides!

LET'S GO!!

I SAID LET'S GO!!!


Rides??..What rides???

That's what I'm talking about!!

E.K. at night

At the end of the day, I guess, I enjoyed it more than the kids!

Awesome

God's grace has been so real to me especially this year, when I (finally) began to understand the meaning of God's grace. Many times I have heard these words 'grace', 'grace of God', 'God's grace', and though I knew what they meant, I never fully understood it. However, through the events and activities of this year, I've begun to be able to get a taste of what God's grace means.

birthday girl!

Every breath I take, everything I do and am able to do, is only because of God's grace. Sending His very own son to die on the cross for me, making a way through my troubles even though there seems to be no way, giving me strength for each day, being my shield. I can only stand in awe of God's grace, and even till today, His grace still amazes me. It is for Him only that I live, and it is my desire to follow Him all the days of my life. Truly, it is in Christ alone that I can find my glory.



Going out of the house, eating in a restaurant, attending family occasions, going out with my family, these are things I wasn't able to do for a long time and being able to do them again really shows me how the Lord works His way in my life.

When you haven't gone out for two years
you'd eat like this too!!

The past days have been truly amazing, going out with my wife and kids for 4 days straight, getting almost 6 months colostomy supplies for free, my daughter was given a "scholarship". I am just truly in awe of how the Lord works, and again, for those the Lord used for all these...THANK YOU!!!

NUTROPLEX KID!!! (from old blog)

(originally posted march 15, 2008)

Yesterday my daughter graduated from the preparatory level in her school.

What does that have to do with my life and my sickness?

This is the first time in 2 years, that I was able to go to my daughter's school program. I was either in too much pain or too weak to attend any of my daughter's activities before.

I thank God that I'm slowly getting stronger, and my post operation pains are slowly subsiding.

My daughter received a medal for being outstanding in academics, which made daddy soooo proud!

She also received a medal from Nutroplex kids multivitamins for her achievement in academics.

She's off to the big school next school year.
