this year's 40-day period is the most relevant and significant in my decade of christian walk. bonded believers of the faith unite every lunch(fast it) to read the prayer guide, share and commune. the whole class knows about this gathering, even the unsaved are aware and impressed by our sincerity and daily commitment. they're prolly surprised; we're sacrificing our time and effort even though it's the big A's and prelims are closing in, work is pressing, but yet we're selflessly saying prayers of blessing for the general good. we've been petitioning timelessly for the salvation of a101, and undoubtedly i would say the atmosphere in the class has opened up. they are pleasantly receptive to our relationship with our Lord. this week, we started passing this sheet of paper for our classmates to write down their prayer requests. at first we were thinking not many people will pen down, coz of the obvious discomfort of someone beseeching their God to interceed for you, and the rejection by the staunch buddhists and atheists. but lo and behold God opens the heavens and gates, the full a4 paper was completely filled with filed requests by all individuals! even the malay and indian girl in my class eagerly listed down their share. God is awesome in his God knows ways. so we're enthusistically praying that our Father will answer every one of them, specifically, so that they will know that He is King.
a miracle happened today. i got up as usual, caught the first of three buses i take to school regularly. however the bus was a snail, so i barely missed the second bus which was a mere two stops ahead(that chain of buses gets me to school on the dot!) i declared immediately in my head, "God please don't let me be late for school!" then became more ardent, "Lord, you WILL get me to school on time." 5 mins later, i fell into a dilemma. should i take a cab? i see a bus coming.. still brazen, i repeated, "God you WILL let a bus come now that will reach school on time." no it wasn't 58. another bus is coming! nope not 58. gawd bus come NOW. nep still nort my bus. at 7:20 am, i was thinking of hailing a taxi already(to reach school on time, 7:20 is the final lapse to cab down to school). while waiting for one, my boldness soared again, "Jesus i know you will get me to school on time. i will not be late." under his hand, no taxi passed(previously there are many in this stretch of road in the heartlands). at 7:23, when school starts at 7:30 am, bus 58 came. honestly, i had no idea if i would make it or not. i was just nonchalent. down bedok reservoir to pasir ris... nearly 15 mins elapsed, i'm technically late. got off 58 and the third sequence of bus was directly behind it! boarded 109.. two stops later alighted at merdian junior college bus stop. gulp. no huge group of students lining up at the side gate(typically if the group of latecomers is large enough to boycott, the teacher would let us all in). with no clue still to my arrival status, i crossed the road and entered the gate... "meridians please hurry to your class!", the j1 counsellor squalls into my ear. amagadd it can't be? ! nono what really? i'm not going to be booked? i have free access? i don't need to sing the national anthem and take the pledge and the late form? woohooo! i danced to class and what a testimony i gave. i love mini miracles. God is good all the time!
