Miracles That Happened To Me In Boracay

I have a question? Do you believe in miracles? Well, I do. And I can testify that it’s true because it indeed happened to me. Let me tell you why…

It was afternoon of August 16, when our group at Boracay (includes college friends) decided to try the ATV (all terrain vehicle) recreation at Boracay. I know that I don’t even know how to ride a bicycle but still I decided to give it a shot. After all, we will just be in Bora once so we should try everything. And the mere fact that the vehicle is small and four wheeled just increase my confidence that I should be able to maneuver it. The first few minutes were fun, but it came to a halt when suddenly I have lost my control on the car and it did fell off leaving me on the ground lying with bruises on my left leg and broken wrist. It took me some time to realize that what happened is real (I do wish that I was just having a nightmare that time). My first thought is that, I thank God because I wear a helmet (1st miracle: I am still alive despite of the bruises and broken wrist that will eventually heal in time). The guide and my male friends helped me to stand, the guide immediately wanted to do something in my broken wrist(hilot) but a van came and the driver told him not to and he will just bring me to the hospital(2nd miracle: arrival of the van out of nowhere that brought me the nearest hospital). The doctor did advise us to go to Kalibo so my fracture will be immediately treated. But I have to do one major decision that time that is to withstand the pain until tomorrow morning in time for our flight back to Manila. The doctor said it will be ok but I need to bear the pain overnight since she can’t give me any pain reliever that time. That night I cried, asking God to help ease the pain. He doesn’t just ease the pain but that night I can feel someone was giving me a hug so I can sleep soundly (3rd miracle: I was able to sleep that night without any pain. The next morning, we went to a hospital in Kalibo, they had the result of the x-ray as broken fracture in the wrist. They said that they will call their orthopedic surgeon to perform the operation but the chance were low and will depend if he doesn’t have any patient that time since he has separate clinic. Good news, he was available that time. (4th miracle). Operation had been performed and we were able to go back to Manila safely.

Fast forward, I have schedule travel on Aug 31; with my situation I know it is not possible. But the project was push out for 2 weeks (5th miracle).

The result of my last check-up is good as well, the bone that was fractured were slowly being back on its original place. (6th miracle).

There were some items that I will not list here but all of them were still miracles that happened. Realization that I was blessed and the Lord will never ever forsake or leave us. No matter how hard the situation is right now, no matter how tired I am right now, I know deep inside that the Lord is with me, holding my hand, lifting me, hugging me and those reasons are enough for me to face this trial strongly. There is a reason why this thing happen, I may not comprehend it right now, but in time, the purpose will be reveal and the Purpose is Great…..God bless Everyone
