If you noticed, my MSN personal message is:
"prays that the next 4 weeks will be FAVOR-full"
I'm telling you, my prayer's answered even on the first day I start my 10th week of 3rd year 1st semester. I don't need to chant God's name a million times. I don't need to fast a year. It's the matter of confession. Claiming my blessings. Professing my wishes. Believing in things unseen. Hoping on the impossible. It's just *click* like that. Just writing a simple Personal Message such as that had caused the heavens' doors flung open.
I was awaken by my alarm clock at 6.15 AM today. I was about to sit down when I felt my head's spinning. I tried again. And still had the same headache. I suspected it's migraine. It was felt the night before, after I had a long day in front of the computer. I whined abit while my sister was getting ready for school. Good thing Mom's there. She took Panadol and gave it to me. I quickly drank it and went back to sleep. Mom suggested for me to go for the afternoon classes. Somehow, I felt that I shouldn't miss AMX lecture. So I set my alarm to 8 AM.
Left house at 8.30 AM. Took the route to Kovan because I was carrying a heavy load, thus walking to Hougang was too inconvenient. The bus came a minute after I arrived at the bus station. My first favor. Sat down in the bus and suddenly felt dizzy and nauseated at the same time. I suddenly remembered that I forgot to eat breakfast (I seldom do anyway. But this one's really painful!) I was contemplating to whether or not stop at Kovan and grab something to eat before boarding the train. Somehow, after reaching the bus stop, I turned left...to the train. I was thinking, "What am I doing?! What if I faint or barf on the way? No Dede. No one to help me if I do." These thoughts just rushed into my mind. Honestly, I am quite a dependent person in these kind of things. I couldn't do it on my own if I'm under pressure. Being sick IS pressure.
I can testify that my sister's been patient enough throughout these years. She usually gets annoyed if I'm sick. But thank God she's able to survive me. After all, I'm nicer when I'm not sick. So she has to "heal" me in a way so I can get back to my original state. The state of Angel, located somewhere in the North-east-west-south of the United States of America.
I was in a nauseated yet jolly mood while waiting for the train. I listened to some Gospel music throughout the journey, and it really set my attitude, especially on a Monday--when everyone's got Monday blues. Second FAVOR, I got seats from Dhoby to Outram and from Outram to Boon Lay. I did not even expect any of those, it was just there. The second part of the trip gave me a time to close my eyes and rest my eyes. By the time I reached Boon Lay, I was no longer feeling dizzy. I also had my third FAVOR...going to school with Wan Kay. I needed company at that point of time. I waited for her near the 199 Berth and remembered about my breakfast. Oh no! It's already 10 AM and I haven't gotten my breakfast. By the time I reach NIE, it'll be too late! Nooo!! Fourth FAVOR, God reminded me about my chocolate Pocky sticks that I bought last week. I did not get a chance to eat it because I was too full. And VOILA! It was in my bag! I had those for breakfast. I'm a happy person. I fed myself chocolates in the morning. Yum Yum.
The day's not over yet. During lunch time, I was telling Wan Kay how weak I was for the past few weeks. Physically. Mentally. And especially thinking about the workload that's piling up. I also remembered about Math project, this GSP project, on which I had to partner myself with Tiara to execute this task. To do this project, I need to have the software. I didn't buy it coz it's too costly. So, the only resolution is to book the computer lab, which I find very troublesome. Out of the blue, Wan Kay took out a CD from her bag. Fifth FAVOR. She handed me the GSP CD. I am telling you... this is like surreal! I almost shouted and screamed for joy at the canteen. God had just straightened my path and really blessing me with all these favor, without me asking for it. It's so true when a righteous man walks in truth and according to God's Word, favor is running after him. Not the other way round. I don't need to chase for favor because I have it chasing after me.
Not yet ... I still have my final favor. In class today, I was listening to the lecture and suddenly Tera wrote me a note:
"Are you free next Friday? Wanyee and I want to ask you and Jeanette out for 'mission gold strings'."
I thought that they had forgotten my birthday. I totally forgot about that and here they are, asking about it AGAIN. Without my desperation. Without my hinting.
Thank God for LIFE! Thank God for TRUTH! Thank God for FAVOR!
Just a confession of faith, everything you've ever wanted is being fulfilled, even beyond what you're expecting. That's the power of the living God. Totally in awe with His awesomeness. TOTALLY!
