The last week of July has certainly been an interesting week for me. Strings or wonderful events unfolded by themselves.
For the past few months, I have been praying for my mother that the Lord will open her eyes, ears and heart to see how wonderful a Father he is. In a few occasions I have invited her to join me at church during the weekends and every time I am given an excuse.
Last Tuesday, I took up the phone and called her and invited her down to KL and to join me at cell and church for the weekend. Expecting a NO from her but a YES came out from her mouth and I was so excited about it and started to make plans for her accomodation. Since BS and I have a housemate, it's not really convenient for her to spend the night at our place. So I started to check out which hotel should I put them in. This happen somewhere on Tuesday.
By end of the Wednesday I still have not decided which hotel. Finally I sat down on the couch and before I turn on the TV, I told God that I will let you decide for me ~ I submit 100% that you will show me what is best. Believe it or not, at about the same time ~ the housemate of ours who is BS's nephew told him that he will be going back to his hometown. I was like, "WHAT" ~ I had that kind of reaction is because he went back to his hometown the week before and how often you will see one person goes back that frequently. Somemore, he is leaving on a Thursday. He has been staying with us for more than 4 months, he has never make such decision before.
Deep down, I praise and thank the Lord. All is decided by then and BS said, mum can spend the night at our place (wonderful).
Mum arrived on Friday and we had dinner and a short catch up before heading over to cell. I took the chance to glorify God by sharing the rest on the above scenario. Surprisingly, mum started to share something that happended in Ipoh that same week. A pastor and his wife who is a long time friend of hers invited her to his church on Sunday. Of course mum decline, otherwise she won't be here with me for the weekend.
The interesting part is this, I have asked MW on how do pray for someone's salvation. And part of her advise to me is to ask God to send someone who is highly spiritual influenced to come along her way and guide her. I see that God is slowly answering my prayers and I believe he will answer all of them if it's something I really want from my heart and my motive is good and pure.
Praise the Lord!
On that night itself at cell, mum accepted Christ to be her savior. It was the most wonderful experience, everything was just so right at that point in time. It's so real and it shows that He is a Living God.
:D i am very happy for you and your family la! praise be to God!
ReplyDeleteI say AMEN! to that!! It's so good to read that your mom has finally accepted Christ as her saviour and I pray that her Christian journey will be fullfilling one.
