Sunday July 11th, 2010
I was told by several close friends, neighbors, and coworkers about another healer, Emma de Guzman who would be @ The Felician College chapel today. Joy came to get me. We had gotten there in time but it was so crowded by then, we had to wait outside, there were already 300 people inside and a line forming quickly behind us. We did catch a glimpse of Emma as she arrived and was escorted passed us to go inside.
With patience and luckily being the 1st in line, I was able to get in, but Joy had to wait outside. They had said that everyone would be blessed after the mass which still didn't appease others who wanted to be inside and were loudly protesting.
Mass was spoken in Tagalog as well as in English. When mass had ended, Emma came to the pulpit and told us how she was called to do God's healing. She said that the healing will come when we are @ peace. Then she proceeded to pray & touch everyone, I mean everyone, 300 plus. She kept her smile as she listened to the ailments and prayed that we may heal so we may continue to do God's work down here. That's my goal, I want to continue doing my nursing job & take care of my family, friends, pets & home.
I felt kind of bad, some of my coworkers had bumped me in line to be seen by Emma sooner than I should have but as another friend had mentioned, the same thing happened @ Peter's house where they tore through the roof to get a friend healed.
When Emma approached me, I told her of my cancer. She prayed for the cancer to go, to heal me and so I may continue to do my work. I couldn't look @ her but her voice and her touch were so soft and full of love, I was deeply touched. I thanked her and was escorted out by my coworker.
Joy had been outside and had met up with Odette and her mom. I didn't realize how long I had been inside but they took that time to bond. They had asked how it went, I told them what I experienced and that I was starving. A good sign. The 4 of us had headed over to the Olive Garden @ Lincoln Town Center. I probably shouldn't have eaten as much as I did but a) the company and b) the food was great except for the plastic pieces in our desserts. Even then the plastic didn't stop us from finishing them off. :o) We did get comped from the restaurant for the unexpected goodies in our food.
It was another good day, spending it with good friends, and sharing it with others with different ailments all coming together under one roof to be together.
