My miracle on 29th April (Sat)

It was the Easter offering weekend (to give to the poor and needy - a large % to go to those outside of our church).
I believe that my giving has sparked off the miracle.

On the friday nite (28th), we went to celebrate April's birthday.
After dinner and over coffee, April brought up the topic of Taiwan Emerge Mission Trip. She asked me if I was going. I said I wish I could, but I can't becos of the lack of finances. Then I asked her if she was going. She said she don't think she can cos of her job (she might be posted to HongKong by then). Then I said she can still try, cos God can open doors. Then we ended the conversation. Through the short conversation, I felt in my heart that there was a chance that she had the desire to sponsor me to go. And I secretly hope in my heart that she would do that. But I also quickly ended that conversation topic.

Do you know what happened on that Saturday?
After service, April passed me something. It was folded but I know that it is a cheque.
I kept in my bible. I can't help thinking about it. When I had the chance, I looked at it and wow! The amount is great! And God is really great! He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you can ask or imagine! (Eph 3:20) I am amazed by her and by God. And I am really thankful cos I can finally step into the land of my parents. And after July, I can tell people that I am a Taiwanese and I had been there. Praise the Lord!!!
And yes, April gave me more than the cost of the trip. She gave me much more and has really blessed me.

Just last Tuesday, my cg leader msged me to help inform the cg tht the cost of the Taiwan trip is now reduced to half as they have found cheaper accommodation at a school hostel (instead of hotel). So I messaged all in the cg. 2 of them were keen and signed up. 1 of my cg member was really excited and I am glad that she wants to go. She was saying something about the cost and also if she can take leave as she does retail and the trip would be during the GSS period. I told her that I will pay for her trip if I only have to pay the reduced price for my own trip. Cos I really feel that just as how my friend blessed me to go, I wanted to bless her to go too. I better hand her the cheque soon so that she will be completely assured with the blessing.

God is good!
I want to challenge you to dare to think and imagine what you want in your life.
Cos God is able to make it happen for you!

I like what Dr Phil Pringle says. "God will make you successful not despite of who you are; but He will make you successful because of who you are."
That's how important you are to Him and shows that He really has a plan for your life.
