" Its where I hide ; 8:39 PM "
O'siyo!
Hey. Wow, God is amazing. Really. Just when you think its once in a lifetime thing, BAM. There He shows his works to you. Truly amazing.
Well... He showed me three things Wednesday and today.
yesterday, well, he showed me the undying support of my friends. And well, this inner bond that unites us all, and well, a revival spirit, and rekindling of an old flame(haha okay not really old flame, but you get the idea) and well, that we're just really there for each other, despite our setbacks, major and minor ones. Just like old times. So I thank God for that.
And well, today, He showed me two things. During class comm training, that I'm a consultative, and yes its true, I try and please people alot. Yes really true. (You know every part of me, You know every part of me) Mmhmm. And at the beginning of the year, I was just asking for reassurance, because of the new committee and everything, worrying about how I'd work with these people, and how we'd do our best etc etc. Yep, but seriously, today's training was good for all of us. This portion of the programme, we were made to actually discuss the problems within the class, and how to solve conflicts and everything
(:
Yes. I thank God alot. Alot.
Second thing. Grandma. She finished reading my church article. She thought it was a fiction story. And then I told her it was real. She said, I don't have a calling like you, that's why I'm not a Christian. I feel unwanted.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was so lost for words. My grandma's got it all wrong. So I was like. uhh. uhh! Its not like that Por Por! I mean... I mean... You don't get a calling to be a Christian, its a choice. Then I said you accept Christ before you get a calling of any sort, then she said she just can't accept it. Then mum told me to zip it already...
But. But.
So Justin was like. K Por Por, i call you now. So he called Por Por's handphone and she was like HUH HUH HUH, because she was washing the dishes. I don't get it lar okay. My grandmother, a woman of such tender loving care, hardships, suffering and loyalty, how could she not be basking in the truth? I don't know, was it because of the war?
I'll be sure to add an extra long prayer for grandma tonight, but at least she's getting closer. A little. Yes, i was just... disturbed and thoughtful, mum told me to leave her alone, which was quite a hard thing to do ): But well, time will tell right? I guess I'm just the sort of person who just needs to well... yeah, i'm a consultative person okay?
I guess mum just doesn't really understand how I feel. =/
But thankfully, God showed me one of the excerpts in Uncle Lai Yong's Just a moment, yes that book holds revelation for me.
I shall quote.
"We chatted and discussed various subjects including Christ. After each visit I would go away rather angry and frustrated with God. How could an utterly traditional Chinese granny be open to Christianity? The Christian faith was so distant from her...
But my granny... she just never had the chance. I complained to God many times that wekk that He was not fair to my granny...
One day, after a particularly pointed complain to God, I visited granny and asked her what she thought of Jesus Christ. Granny smiled, and then laughed a little. Her eyes brightened up and she said in Cantonese, 'Jesus Christ! Sure, I know alot about Christ. Do you know that I attended Sunday School as a little girl in China? There were missionaries in our village and I joined the Bible classes and learnt choruses' I was speechless"
Amen. I pray God will some how open my grandma's eyes, in the same way he did for Uncle Lai Yong's granny.
