So Far So Good

Hello friends, family and fellow pilgrims,

I am so glad I am finally getting back to my blog! I have been sending you news and prayer requests via e-mail and I always seem to forget about posting them here.

Well here is my first entry for 2008.

Remember José, my friend in a wheelchair? If you haven't heard from him let me brief you. José is 27, he suffered complications at birth. The use of forceps damaged part of his brain resulting in his inability to walk. He is an incredibly smart man, but you can perceive a minor difficulty to talk in his speech. José's a joy to be around with and a human being with an incredible heart for the people.

Last December José told me his parents are divorcing. He refused to recognize his sadness, but he is obviously having a bad time knowing his family will never be the same. To make things even more difficult the doctors detected a tumor in one of his mother's breasts, biopsy results were positive for cancer.

Jose became deeply nervous, depressed, frustrated and angry. In many ways he depends on his mother, and the idea of losing her was terrible.

I asked for your prayers as she took more tests and x-rays with other doctors in a desperate search for a seccond, more favorable opinion, but she wasn{t getting good news from anybody.

As of last month I am glad to let you know that her final X-ray and blood tests are absolutely conclusive about the absence of cancer in her body! If you compared her initial and final x-rays you would say they belong to two different patients! There is no doubt there was "something" there, but it's gone now! She didn't get a drop of any medicine for cancer treatment yet she is totally healthy. As skeptical as doctors are, they have admitted something supernatural took place in her body last month that completely healed her.

I praise God for his amazing love, power and compassion. He is the same yesterday, tomorrow and forever! Thank you for your prayers and for caring for somebody you didn't even know, I know there will be plenty of time for introductions in heaven, what a great time it will be!
