guys,i just want to share about what had happened with my girlfriend and me. Last December 2008 was a really fun filled Christmas for the both of us since we bought gifts for our families and some for our friends.we really enjoyed everything sa 13month na nadawat.it was on the 4th week of December that my girlfriend had her period. so, January came. me and my girlfriend noticed that her period wasnt really slowing down,in short cge ghapon iya period.nag worry mi cause it was the first time that it happened to her.we were still in denial kay nahadlok mi sa mahitabo until we decided to go to the doctor last week of January since shes so busy with her work.when the doctor told us na it was an ECTOPIC PREGNANCY and my girl needs an operation.i was really confused and didnt know what to do.though,nka save mi og gamay, still kuwang ra ghapon kay ang cost daw sa operation is going to run about 120k.in denial ghapon mi to the point that every week magpa TVS or UltraSound mi sa hospital.we had to spend around 3k everytime mi muadto sa doctor.we didnt want her parents to know kay basig nya masuko.so we tried to hide it from them hangtod makaya.the last visit namu sa doctor kay ni ingon cya nga she really needs to perform the operation na kay if mu buto na ang ovary sa akoa girlfriend that might be the reason for her death.that was the time when I started asking help from God.i had to wake up early pra ihatod akoa girlfriend sa trabahuan then diritso na dayon ko sa Sto.Nino everyday.Wednesday sa Redemtorist.I prayed nga dli nalng unta ma operahan akoa girlfriend and even asked him to put all the trials in me.but God had other plans for it.i trusted God in everything,from financial,spiritual,physical and emotional request.that was also the time that I got to know God even more kay it made me strong enough pra sa akoa girlfriend. everyday for almost 3 months maghilak akoa girlfriend everynight kay mahadlok cya.in some way, God always provide me every single word nga dapat nko i ingon sa akoa uyab.my Faith in God grew stronger.so March came that we had to tell her Parents about it,nahadlok ko since i already made a good bond with them.it was her mom nga amoa g ingnan first.we thought nga masuko cya,but then she only adviced us in a way nga mka think mi sa consequences nga nahitabo.everything was planned na,on what day and time mi moadto sa hospital after her duty.we went to the hospital with only 30k in my pocket.i was so confused kung asa mangita sa 90k nga kuwang pra sa operation.though my family and her family already knew about it.wla man cla pagpa admit namu.the doctor told me na stat operation daw since the pregnancy was already about 3 months na.the day came at about 6am that i had to sign the papers all about the operation.wla ko nahimutang since nakuyawan ko sa akoa girlfriend but I know God will never let us down.i Prayed endlessly until my mom and iya parents naabot.they told me that theyre going to pay for the bill and that my dad gave my mom the money for the hospital bills.i really thanked God for it.
it was already 2pm na nahuman ang operation and it was a succesful one.the doctor found out that my girlfriend also had a myoma and a cyst in her right ovary.sadly,ang left ovary nalng naa nya.if wla na operahan akoa girlfriend then wla unta mi kahibaw nga naa pa cya lain sakit nga mas mu grabe pa kung wla nakuha.i was thankful kay it was one way of God nga mka realize mi sa tanan.He always reminds me that He is Just There and He will listen to You and Help you in any way,it might not be the way that you wanted it but its more than what you had asked from Him.

I just want you to tell this story because God is everything.if youll just believe in Him and have faith in Him then everything is possible.Trust in God with all your heart,soul and mind.Believe in Him

This is the prayer that made me strongin all of my problems:

Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside the still waters
He restore my soul
He guides me through path of righteousness for His names sake

Although i walk through the valley
and the shadow of death
I fear no evil, for You are beside me
Your Rod and Your Staff
are there to comfort me
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil
My cup is over flowing

Goodness and kindness
will follow me
all through the days of my life
I shall dwell
in the House of the Lord
as long as I live.

>>> God indeed answers prayers. It could either be a 'Yes' or a 'No', but it's surely for the best! Truly, He cares for us! And the 23rd of Psalm speaks more of it!

i realized that in order for us to recognize God,He tends to tap us with a problem...but with His solutions...

thanks for sharing brad! Its an inspiration dose for a day... keep the faith bro, and keep praying... share your stories... thank you!

[d'nameless_shameless]

Prayer is a proven effective tool...

Nice inspirational stories...

[The Alchemist]

Prayer is power..

king1, your story is an inspiration...thank you.

i have had lots of miracles wrought by the power of prayer. i passed the board exams because we, my family and i, prayed for me to pass...i prayed that all of us in our room will pass, and we all did! these are my friends..and we shared a lot in terms of time, effort, and camaraderie during that review in manila.

my family and i also experienced a lot of close calls. my sister got sick when she was a baby. my lolo and lola were in and out of the hospital, stayed in the ICU a lot of times..but they're still here. we're still intact and complete because of prayer..because we believed that the Universe, God, The Supreme Being, Jesus, or whoever you want to call it, will see us through the problems..

i haven't been a good Catholic, when i got to college i rebelled and turned against my religion to follow some other practice. but inside, God was still there. because he never left.

no offense bro, but if you are really that religious, diba not allowed ang premarital *** sa inyo faith?
it defeats the purpose of your story about this God2x gud..

but anyway, its good your girlfriend got thru the operation just fine..
out of curiousity, did the doctor show you x-ray or ultrasound scans of evidence of your ectopic pregnancy? kung pwede nimo ma-post dre, curious pud siguro uban tawo dre mutan-aw unsa itsura ana ectopic pregnancy..

Thanks for sharing...made me remember of my own struggles too. Had that Psalm 23 printed and keep it in my wallet ever since as a constant reminder how I made it through.

By the way, that 'Rod' and 'Staff' were not only meant for our enemies but to spank us if we go 'our way in the highway' of life. So, we might as well expect some beating from time to time just to keep us in line.

ahh, so in the same line of reasoning, you will beat your children from time to time just to keep them in line?
