A thousand apologies for not writing so long. I was extremely busy for the past 12 days that all I wanted to do upon reaching home was eat my dinner and go to bed.Still, I survived the busy and hectic schedule.
It started 3 months ago. I started telling people I asked God for 5 millions dollars (Sing) by 2011, 5 years down the road. I received mixed reactions, mostly disapproving with great disbelief.
My belief is simple. I have a big God and so I ask for a big present. I have plans for the usage of this big present. People either think I am joking or they start questioning the power of God. If God is like our Heavenly father, knowing my God is all rich and wealthy, do I need to feel bad asking from him? Besides, God loves me. As I mature in age, I keep reminding myself to renew that simple faith in God. Too much analysis bring mankind to nowhere.
When I was in JC 1, I had a simple minded classmate who just accepted Christ then. One late afternoon, we were sitting at the stone bench near to the drain and before long I realised there were lots of mosquitoes. I decided to leave that place. Yet that girl decided to stay put, I asked her why. She said she already told God to chase away the mosquitoes.
I laughed at her then, not openly though. Then again, her act of simple faith stayed in my memory years later till now. 15 years later, her act etched in my mind more than any teachings I heard or embraced.
Simple act touches God. I am learning to ask, not doubt and after all, this is what the bible says.
5 millions, I ask, the result, the answer is His.
