"I’m thankful for my struggle because without it I wouldn’t have stumbled across my strength.” —Anonymous
Not the usual birthday party with birthday cakes and fancy foods. This year is a bit different for me. It's been a year of struggle and trials , where sometimes all I wanna do is give up and forget about the things that I want to do. Sometimes depression hits me really hard because of all the problems that I encountered ,be it work problems, business problem, family problem, financial problem and heart problem. The thing that really keeps me going is my faith in God, I know everything will be fine if i just believe in him and hang on to his mercy.
For my birthday I planned it to be different, I celebrated it with my daughter and my partner by visiting the Dolores Shrine or known as The national Shrine of our lady of Sorrow. When I was a child my parents almost lost me because of an illness and my grandma devoted me to Our lady of Sorrow for 9 Fridays and here I am , so much alive and kicking. Another miracle from this shrine is my cousin Carl, at 2 years old he was unable to walk because of he also encounter near death experience when he was born and he also suffered from sepsis that affected his development. His first step happened at the entrance of the church and after that he can walk normally.I really believe that the shrine is really the best place for those who are in sorrow and looking for comfort and miracle.
Our lady or Sorrow Shrine is Located in Dolores Quezon, just near the Dolores Market. There is a celebration every Good Friday or known as Biernes de Dolores to honor Mary the queen of Sorrows.If you are commute going to the Shrine you have to go via Tiaong jeep terminal but just a reminder they don't have trips after lunch. If you are going to the Shrine After lunch then you have to rent a trike which will cost you more, for my trip I paid the trike 200 php going to the church.

At the church gate there are some vendors who are selling candles with different colors, Each candle color correspond to different prayer offering like thanksgiving prayer, prayer for health, prayer for family.There is also a stair leading to a room where you can kiss the veil of our lady of sorrow.
There is nothing wrong in believing miracle, each morning when you wake up is a miracle from God, you just have to have faith in him.
