thanksgiving makes a joyful person =)
Here's my long awaited testimony about our wonderful God that answers our prayers. So dear brother and sisters, i shall tell u the moral of the story before i begin. Our God really does answers our prayers.
last weekend, my whole mind was kept bothering about prom. Well yes, there are more issues than the dress and who to go with that night. Some background on this sitution i got caught in:
I was supposed to be sitting with my two best friends/classmates in school along with some other random people i knew. Everything was supposed to be settled. But because i had this friend whom i've been helping cope with the ostracism and whatnot from her class, i decided to backout of the table, and form one with her and some other random people, so at the very least she'll go to prom and enjoy a night she wanted to. Rather than skip it all together cos i wasnt on the same table as her.
Everything WAS supposed to be settled on friday, but then somethings just happened, and i was left with 4 empty seats which i had to fill by monday along with the 850 plus 85 dollars table.The additional 85 was because of a muslim friend that was joining us (this is a whole complex issue i tell u). But either way i was left distressed because it was likely impossible for me to find 4 new people by sunday and get them to pay up by monday. 85 bucks -_-.
I really tried to focus on my work, focus during FOP, focus on sunday service... but when u're stressed about something urgent and COMPLETELY out of your hand, you just keep thinking about it. I think i called about half the school (ok, kua zhang), but everyon else didnt seem interested at all.
But on sunday when Y-in prayed for me after i confided in her, things began to turn around.
For one, the stubborn joel tan (if u rmb him as my bestie guitarist) decided to go, and "forsake" his youth camp and risk the chance of getting scolded by his youth pastor because of prom. And he suggested paying for the other holy rambutan (yes there are three of us) to go. THough i found it difficult to pay half the cost for Aaron, i decided to bless him either way, cos he deserves it (wouldn't you for a good friend?) Aaron told me not to expect much as his parents were not very approving of prom due to certain reasons. However that evening he called and told us that he'd be going and he'd pay his own share.
It was more than just 2 seats filled, it was because i now have people i can completely relate to and am willing to share my final and most beautiful time in jc with 2 of my bestest friends in mj who has blest me both emotionally and spiritually. I never thought we'd be able to spend prom with each other cos we're all from different classes. But now we can, i'm just absolutely elated.
Though i still had 2 seats unfilled by 10pm at night, i was already screaming with joy inside, cos it just seemed too good to be true.
To cut the long story short, the next two seats were filled by 2 of my guy classmates the next day who had enough to pay. The table now is complete and all that messy pieces of jigsaw now fit perfectly. Initially i was so desperate i couldnt bother anymore if the people on the table knew each other, but now they all do... perfectly well.
THough this may appear to be a small incident in my life, or as viewed by you. Recalling the stress and anguish and helplessness at that point in time, it was as if the greatest mountain i had to ever climb.
I'm just so glad that i have a God, a real one that answers my prayers... so quickly and on time. Thank God. So happy i managed to share it with a non-christian friend. THough he might think i'm crazy, if i continue doing it, he might think that he's crazy not to belief that our God is real !
Either way, i'm a joyful happy person now. So yearp, of all most importantly, always give thanks to God. So yearh, i just did it. Hope you guys are encouraged in whatever tough and frustrating situation you're in that seems COMPLETELY out of control. Commit it God, pray and pray and pray. He answers our prayers =D ignited by jOy
As people who love God and His Word, we want to actively serve Him and excite those around us to do likewise (ignited).
We also want to actively seek and save the spiritually lost (lifesavers).
Last but not least, like 'tiles' used in construction, we want to help lay the 'tiles' and build God's church on earth.
Prayer Request.
Everyone: to have everlasting ignited fire!

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7) (Read by Max McLean. Provided by The Listener's Audio Bible.)
