Well, this is after my baby was born and i need to get back to work after 60 days maternity leave. I have to find a baby sitter and have not gone round looking for one yet as i was blessed that my three other children, my mum-in-law took care of them while they were young. However, due to age we do not want to trouble her. We prayed for baby sitters and then out of the blue my hubby went to ask one pastor's wife if she would recommend one. Immediately, she went to another pastor who has young children taken care by baby sitter and he gave my hubby the contact no.
But then i also got a few other numbers with me but mostly non-believer family. I went to a couple of them, mostly those near my block (i stay in a condominium, so baby sitters in the same condo would be most ideal) but somehow don't have the feel that i want to leave my baby with them.
Then my office called up and asked me to come back to work by next week which is a few days away! I was like desperate and i prayed one more time for God to show me the family to put my baby with....and guess what......YES!...THE LORD ANSWERED MY PRAYER!!!.....
As i was driving to the last two families which is away from my condo outside the vicinity in a nearby housing estate.....in my mind was to go to this Chinese family but then somehow my sense of direction went haywire and i just drove and found this other Indian family's house quite easily. This happens to be a Christian family of different church and was the pastor's baby sitter and .....yes ....she became our baby sitter for my little baby.
I did not immediately agreed to send my baby there.....but i managed to go to another family. When i went home..... a few hours later....my company called to say i need to start work like in 2 days time....!!! Horrors!!!... I was like where on earth should i place my baby but somehow i just called back the Indian family to check if i could send my baby the next day for a try to see if he is ok at her place for half a day. She agreed and said i can start anytime...Thank God for that. However, i still have my reservation and it was that , i have never given any Indian family to look after my kids....call me racist.....but that happens in this part of Asia! Anyway, i was thinking in my flesh that is quite difficult to send my baby to this Indian family cos my own family members would be saying WHY? and i can imagine all the not so good things they will say but then somehow i keep praying for an answer ....as though i can't hear God's voice but then there is the little conscience that tells me to just go ahead and not bother what others will say....and i could not sleep that night....so i was up like 3am and i just read the bible and suddenly....it just became clear in my mind that what i prayed for i already received and the events that led up to now just plainly shows that it is God's will that i just should leave my baby with this Indian family and have faith that this is the best arrangement the Lord has made for us. We should just obey when we heard....let those who have ears hear ......all these just came into my mind and it was then i decided that's it we are going to put our baby with this family.
So i went to bed without any disturbance and the next day i sent my baby there in the morning and he was fine there until evening and i confirmed immediately that i will send my baby next morning to her and paid her. She was actually giving me a good price as compared to the rest of the other nearer baby sitters and the rest.
God has a way to bless us......as he bless me with a baby sitter......my fees to the baby sitter is a blessing that she was asking God for which indirectly i am blessing her.....i found this out some months later as we were chit chatting and she said in fact she was praying for more financial help so she could provide for her family....she is looking after her own grandchildren, the pastor's children, another child and my baby.
I have never have any qualms since that day and my baby has been with them since 2 months old until now 3+yrs. Only just recently i don't send him there cos he needs to go to kindergarten next year and going to the child care centre.
This incident reaffirmed my faith in prayer and that i should ask God for his solution and when i receive it....obey and follow and things will be fine. This is not the first time it happened....it happened one more time again after this which i will write in another testimony.....to be continued......Amen

COMMIT AND IT HAPPENS
Well, believe it or not but whenever you commit anything to the Lord like"Cast all your burden to the Lord all you are weary".....the Lord will take care of everything. My eldest is the worry and he is such a good performer that we at times can't tell if he is saying the truth or otherwise. However, since i committed his everything to the Lord daily in my prayers, the minute he does something wrong, the Lord will prompt us and the cat is out of the bag!!! His follies are exposed each time he goes the wrong way......and the Lord inform us in strange ways so that we can deal with the issues immediately and not cause further problems. I really thank God for that....there are so many instances....
I will try to recall the times.....start with the most recent.....
He was trying to collect back RM370.00 from his ex-schoolmate from his previous school who apparently extorted the money from him when he was there the last time and was supposed to collect on last week Wednesday. He was in a hurry to go off from his tuition class to meet up his friend who will accompany him and the tuition teacher asked his reason for being in such a hurry. So that was when the tuition teacher advised him to inform me and the tuition teacher spoke to me and brought out the number of points that indicated that he should not go to collect his dues that day.
I really thank God for the information as the points that the teacher brought up striked the balance chords and it reminded me of the further danger and the seriousness of the issue at hand and that it needs his father's attention on this issue as well.
You know sometimes these teenagers think they know and can handle everything! They can cook up a story and make it in their mind as though so real....well, we told our son not to go collect the money and also don't send his friend either. What if something bad happens to the friend...how are we to answer to his parents! Forget the money...although we don't have that much but we don't need it if it will cause danger to anyone! We do not know who that boy is and his background!
Well, at least at the moment, we have got this charade stopped in time by the Grace and Mercy of our Lord!!! Thank God for that!!!
That is why i keep telling my son....whenever he tries to disobey or do something not right he will be reprimanded immediately as the Lord has a way to inform us strangely immediately.
Like the other time, he told a lie on the last day of his final year at the primary school that he was just having lunch together with his friends at a nearby Mc Donalds around his school and i permitted him trusting him that he was telling the truth and wanted to allow some space for him...and it turns out that he actually took a public bus down to town to a shopping complex where they have the amusement parks with his classmates and he did not tell me!
What happened was he got stranded as there was no bus back cos got strike or something cannot remember but there was no public bus back to our house. So he took the train instead but after that he still need to walk home a pretty long way as the train stops elsewhere.
Thank God halfway, he met a neighbour who is passing by and manage to give him a lift back in time for him to fetch his two younger sisters home. After that incident, he himself confessed to me as somehow, the Lord impressed upon him to do so.....cos he said himself i don't know why i have to tell you this after all it is settled but i just cannot help myself but it just blurted out of my mouth....so i told him...you see....again...the Lord is at work.....it is between himself and God...if he does something wrong....he just have to own up...well, i would like to give Glory to God for keeping my children out of mischief each time.....as i continue to commit them to the Lord. Amen.

TESTIMONIES - MY FIRST MAIDEN
Well, i set up this blog to give Glory To The God Almighty and The Lord Jesus Christ who is my Saviour and the goodness he has bestowed upon me and my family!
As the title suggests, this is the very first testimony of my life and it has been 3 to 4 years ago. Although i had given this testimony a couple of times, i feel it is not good enough or convincing enough at the time when i gave it as i was nervous to talk about it then. But then, as i have experienced God's goodness, i would like to record this testimony in writing for my future generations as a record for them to know of God's Greatness, His Grace and Mercy bestowed upon our family.
During the first check-up of my 4th pregnancy when i was almost at the end of my first trimester, my gynea informed that i may have a cyst that may be cancerous but not sure until after tests have been done.
It could or could not be harmful and it could have been formed due to the backflow of blood into the uterus area which is due to monthly mensus pains. If this is so, then also because of my pregnancy it could have caused the lump to form but it will go off. This usually only happens if it was in the early months of pregnancy like before 3 months is up. In my case, he say not quite possible as i am almost reaching my 3rd month of pregnancy.
He says that the lump may grow and affect the growth of the feotus but then it may not. It is left to be seen in the next check-up. So we went home feeling worried and we start praying about this, well, at least i know i did, not sure about my other half. I think he did but not together with me. Then on the 4th weekend after that occasion, on the Saturday, we went for a prayer meet at our Home Cell's Prayer House, we prayed and i prayed for the healing of my cyst. Then suddenly, as we were all praying fervently, i suddenly felt weak and needed to sit down, i was perspiring and feeling faint.... then our HF leader came over and lay hands on me and so did the other members of the group and prayed for me on this issue after my hubby informed them of my situation and need for healing. After the prayer, i felt better.
Then the next morning, Sunday, we went to church and during the altar call for healing i stood up for prayer again on the same issue. As the elder of the church pray in congregation, i felt that i floated and almost fainted ...... i felt as if i had gone through a major surgery, perspiring and so weak but i felt my hubby next to me holding on to me and catching me so that i don't float off!!!
After the prayer, i sat down with a thud! It really felt so strengthless and i was so pale. Even an elderly couple who sat nearby us came and asked us if i felt alright.....as if they saw the paleness in me and the look as though i was not well...! Strange....but i was convinced at that point that the Holy Spirit had healed me of my condition!!! It really was as though i had a major surgery but without pain and going to the hospital but nevertheless the feeling was the same as if i had gone for probably the "abortion" procedure in the clinic....so to speak!
Then came the next week, Wednesday, i was due for my check-up, so after my gynea had done his scan and the usual and we were out at his desk for discussion, i asked him about my cyst and it's actual location whether it was on my right or left side so that i could take note and not to crush my baby against that side. However, Halelujah!!!, my gynea informed that during his scan he did not notice any cyst if it was there before! So we are convinced that God Almighty had healed me and performed his operation on me that Sat and Sun last week!!! Halelujah, Praise The Lord our Father in Heaven!!! Thank you, thank you so much, Amen!
Then my gynea informed that since i was already past my 40's, it would be advisable to do the amino acid test on the feotus to check its' healthiness. But then it is pretty expensive about RM1k+ and have to decide on it in a couple of days cos if too late cannot do anything if the feotus is not good. (This he informed during the scan before i asked him about the condition of my cyst)
(This following discussion was after i asked about the cyst location)
But then as he was saying ...." but then even if you know it is not healthy....you cannot do anything about it as it is against the bible ... even if you know... you still have to accept it! " Moreover, we cannot do it in the usual hospital where i use to deliver all my other children as they do not accept these cases due to against their principal....run by christians!
Then immediately, we both gave him the answer unanimously and spontaneously.....that we decided not to do it and just going ahead to carry on the pregnancy. We know with God, he will take care of everything and whomever he bestowed upon us...we know it is a blessing from HIM! So we will just obey and not question.
Meanwhile, everyday, i pray for the good health, normality, everything fine and a happy baby until delivery........which on the day of delivery and at the point that he was taken out of my womb.....he did not "cry" ..... he was hurriedly ushered out by the doctor through the nurses....but then we heard his cry just the minute he was out of the door!!! ....... According to my hubby.....at that time....his heart almost stopped .... when the baby did not cry as he was hit on the buttock when he was just out of me!...GOD was with us all the way......and i know this baby he has given me is a true blessing from HIM!!! Praise The Lord for a smooth delivery and the healthy happy baby he has bestowed upon us! I thank you from the bottom of my heart, my Father In Heaven and Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!
