when the organisers announced the date of the dinner, i had a struggle... should i ask my mummy? would she agree? will she feel "out", "stress", "wierd'??? will she be angry??? the worries i had were countless...
back in 3years ago when i heard of 孝亲聚餐，i thought it's an occasion for all the children to treat their christian parents to a meal, den i realised it's a evangelical event to expose their parents to the Light of God in a homely diner and thought i'll be good if my mum could come! but reli ah. worried that she dun like and worries about alot o stuffs....
this year's a little different for me.... personally i really see His wonders every single day and He proved that we must act by Faith, not by emotions! like the mission trip, it's 9days in sarawak and when i heard of it, it seemed impossible for a NSF like me to go... but something told me just buy the ticket, God can make me go somehow, and that something was the Faith that burned in me..... i booked the tickets, and the money (cpf bonus) and leave (help by instructor to apply a consecutive 7days leave) all followed!!!! no hiccups at all! see! when we act by Faith, He'll see to the others, in his perfect plan!
so eventually i booked 3tickets for the dinner not knowing if anyone would come.... and i asked my parents about the dinner..... as expected their response was ok only.. so i just prayed for their willingness to come..AND! the next day my sis told me that my mum's gonna come with my GRANDMOTHER! (who's a extremely devoted buddhist)... wa. really gave me a shock by how well He planned this dinner...
today's the dinner and it really proved that my worried are unnecessary!!! they were open to the worship and i saw my granny clapping with smiles in her face! and she even asked me IF THE CD CONTAINED THE SONGS! she liked it! wa............ my mum was ok with the entire evening too! infact, i think they enjoyed themselves!
this evening was an evening to open their heart to how a christian function is like, and how worship, prayers are carried out and i really really Thank Him cos their reactions r all good! unexpectedly GOOD! my mum said that she will want to attend the next dinner next year!
i guess this little pockets of events are our chances of bringing ANYONE to him... to open their hearts. maybe not to "Love God immediately", but maybe just to "not hate/think that christianity is OK".....
yea. another step! THANK U LORD!
ppl! act by Faith more! it's wonderful to see his powers when u do!
smiling jason.
