Praise God

Hallelujah!!! We ve a new sister... this is so super duper exciting... haha... it is really amazing...

Our new sister received Christ on 7/8/06 at 5pm at my house... haha... The previous nite she called me n asked me abt bidding. She was rather confused and worried abt e whole bidding thingy... So i invited her to my hse the next day to help her with the bidding. She told me she ll contact me again, cause she wasn't sure if she wanna go for e orientation the next day. If she's not gg den she ll come my hse... I prayed tt nite for a miracle to happen and it really did...

The next morn, she didn't call me, so i thot she had already gone to sch. At abt 11 plus in the morn, I called her just to ask her abt e modules. To my utmost surprise, she didn't go sch and so i asked her if she wanna come my hse n she said YES!!! woww.... e next thing i had to do was to call my mum. My mum dun like ppl to come my hse 1, she's a rather paranoid n private person... but to my amazement, she said ok. But i had to clean up e hse n make sure tt e place is clean n tidy... So i did some packing n cleaning up. While cleanin, i saw a cut out fish which was given to us (for us to write e person's name we r sowing on) on my note board. So i jsut wrote her name behind... hee... i ve already forgotten abt e fish thing until tt day. I also called sl n told him abt it and w was really amazed by the whole situation. It was gg v smoothly and i was thinking tt this could lead to a breakthrough in our r/s. I ve been sowing on her for quite some time already since e beginning of alpha. Everytime i tok to her or meet up with her, she's v open to me n seemed v close to God. But whenever i asked her, she ll say she's nto ready n ll think abt it... At certain point of time, i got qutie impatient n would push her... But God reminded me to be patient n gentle with her. Not to do things my own way, but let God guide me and it is in God's timing tt the seed within her will grow.

She reached my hse at abt 2 plus and i showed her around my hse, shared to her abt my life and she read e notes on this little board (given to me by bros and sisters during my examination period to encourage me). So i shared to her abt God n this family... after tt we started choosing modules n bidding... It was abt 4 wen we finally finished planning her mdoules n timetable. With time to spare, i took out my guitar n started playin to her.. played a few worship songs...

The next moment we started to talk abt spiritual stuff.. e holy spirit guided me and revealed to me certain things tt she was gg thru. So i asked her abt it n found tt she has been thinkin n seeking God for e past few days... wow... den e next moment, she told me she really really feel like receiving Christ. She has never felt like tt b4, but she's still unsure n afraid. So i shared more to her n tried to assure her. I was sitting on my bed facing her and she was sitting on my chair, wen she suddenly told me YES , she wanna recieve Christ. I was like totally shocked!!! haha... so led her to say e sinner's prayer n den shared a few verses to her... after tt i played e song: welcome to e family 3 times to her and e song: ve u ever talked to God above...

Another soul has been saved n e angels r rejoicing n singing!!!

Thru out this whole sowing, really experience God's presence alot.. He has revealed many of my weaknesses thru this n has showed me tt God is in control of e whole situation n He is forever faithful... I ve learnt to listen n seek God more n tt it is e heart tt God sees not e deeds. We plant e seed and water it, but God is e one who makes it grow. So do not be anxious abt anything but in everything by prayer n petition, with thanksgiving present ur request to God. God knows our desires n our needs...

God has a very very big heart... haha... He is e most amazing n forgiving God. Although i ve disobeyed God n tried to do things my own way n to please my sinful nature, God forgives n gave me a 2nd chance with her... God uses us in ways we cannot imagine n it is wen we r weak tt He is strong. When we r powerless tt He is powerful....

This 3 months of holiday, wat ve i leant or experience? I finally know wat it is like to be in love... i m in love n this love is everlasting, amazing, faithful n peaceful. :)

The new sch term is startin.. i m excited to walk it together with God and to experience more of Him... Gosh!!! I m totally in LOVE!!!!

I m gg for planet shaker's concert later n my student is coming along with me... haha... God is faithful!! (Amen!) He always completes e work He has started in.... Be faithful, Be firm in your faith n God's amazing presence will be revealed to you.
