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.

This is a good testimony. I can relate to it because we too have a child who can push the boundaries. Our daughter has given us some lost sleep. But as you say, the Lord is never indifferent and we pray for her, with the outcome that she has stopped doing the things that could have got her into some serious trouble. It is encouraging to read your witness to the Lord's working. God be with you all.
