DAY 11: THE LORD IS MY STRONGHOLD

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
The righteous run to it and are safe.”
Proverbs 18:10

Myrna Roman Testimony

I'M A SURVIVOR! And I thank God for my second life, for
waking me up after a deep sleep.
It was February 18, 2011. I was busier than usual preparing
for three events- two in Mindanao and one in Tagaytay. I
took a break to have lunch with my colleagues at the nearby
food court when I felt a sharp and intense headache - the
worst pain I had ever had. The headache was so severe, like
a lightning bolt had hit my head.
My last memory of that incident was hearing my colleagues
calling out my name before I passed out. I was brought for
first aid at the Shangrila clinic before being rushed to the
Medical City in Ortigas, Pasig City. The doctors said I had
to be operated on right away. They were racing against time.

I had a ruptured aneurysm on the left side of my brain. An
operation was done to save my life. The doctors performed
a procedure called surgical clipping. God held me during the
long hours of surgery. After 7 hours, I woke up and opened
my eyes. The doctor called me a miracle patient. Three days
after the surgery, I recuperated. I did not lose my memory or
my physical strength. I was so blessed to have a new life.
