It has been hectic managing a full-time job and a part-time study. On the other hand, it has been one of the most fulfilling years of my life:
A series of testimonies, how could I not declare God's goodness and close watching over me:
1. 18 June 19
My friend and I were going to swim and when we arrived at the swimming pool, we were told there was lightning warning ongoing and no one was allowed into the pool. I was very disappointed but knew God could do anything and uttered, "Oh God, I want to swim!" and immediately, the lightning alarm went off indicating the lightning warning was over!!! My friend was bewildered and jaw dropped and I said, "Thank God!" And we went to change into our swim gear. After an hour of wonderful swim, as I was lifting myself up from the pool, the lightning alarm went off, indicating the lightning warning was back!!! The Lord just stopped the lightning so we could have a swim!!! Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah! not enough hallelujahs could express my heartfelt gratitude to Him for responding to my unimportant desire; He was concerned about my desire to swim, what an intimate Abba Father!
2. 20 June 19
I realized I forgot to bring my sun block lotion to gym that morning, and I began asking God, "How?" I had a lunch appointment that day and it was critical to have sun block on my face. I thought of a few possibilities: drop home to grab it or postpone my lunch appointment and hide indoors in my office till evening. Both were not viable and I began asking God again, "How, God?" As I was still thinking about it, after my shower at the gym, I went to the dressing table next to my locker and someone came to join me at the dressing table. She laid out all her skincare products on the table and a tube caught my eyes - it was orangey in colour and looked pretty. Without realizing it, I found myself peeping at the tube when she was not looking and discovered it was sun-block lotion! I was surprised, firstly, it was the first time I met this lady and it was the first time someone spread her skincare/ makeup on the table! A prompting came: "ask her for some of her sun-clock lotion." I went, "huh?" I was shy to ask and shrugged the prompting away.
The prompting came back and this time I knew the prompting won't go away till I did it as I have encountered similar promptings before. I bucked up my courage to just do it: "May I use a little bit of your sun-block lotion, please?" She was dumbfounded and I said, "Today I forgot to bring mine." She nodded her head.
WOW!!! Abba Father, you are simply AMAZING at providing!!!
Two more overdue testimonies coming up, watch for it!
