Praise be to God!!! My mummy accepted Christ!!! Yay!
Well just as you wonder how it happened, I think it was quite miraculous! Haha... Last Saturday evening, was suppose to go for reunion dinner at my 3rd uncle's house... How I dread these dinners... All my 3-8 aunty would do at these kinda dinners is ask stupid questions like "So why never bring your boyfriend back?" "I thought your brother says you got boyfriend?" "Aiyo so old already still don't have? How can?" Like I would bring my boyfriend back for reunion dinners and like I have the time for boyfriends right now... She just don't understand la... That's why I dread such family reunions...
Anyway back to my mother... I skipped the dinner because I said I was working at church... I worked that afternoon but not that evening, anyway just had dinner with Yvonne and Desiree... Then after dinner, I was sitting with the gang at the big steps... When I received a sms message that my mum is in hospital... Alexander Hospital... Very near church so I wenti... Anyway to cut the long story short, I got a whole load of nagging from my 2nd uncle, who ain't very helpful, explain later... Then my mum was warded on her request... 1st time I hear her saying she wanna stay in the hospital... Anyway, after my uncles left, I was alone with my mum... Was asking her to give God a chance to heal her, told her how Jesus came to heal the sick and read her relevant bible passages from the NT... Then I asked her if she wanted to accept Jesus as her saviour, who died for her sins and who would bring healing... Then she was going on about how undeserving she is to have God die for her... Then I went on again quoting passages on how Jesus came to save the sinners not measuring how good we are or how worthy we are before we can be saved... Anyway, in the end she did say the sinner's prayer... I realised how lousy my chinese has become... I couldn't say the sinner's prayer in Mandarin! Gosh... So we tried saying it in English, which got interrupted halfway by the nurse who wanted to chase me out of the ward... Then my father came back and in a very rushed ending, we closed the prayer... My father would have screamed at me knowing I converted my mother... But yeah my mum accepted Christ!!! Praise the Lord!!!
Later at my uncle's house, where we did eventually end up for reunion dinner, I tried to hint to my father that mummy has converted... Haha... Guess he didn't catch it or he chose to ignore it... Anyway, whatever... I am so happy my mummy is saved!!! Well... Bought her a bible on monday... Chinese bibles very cheem... I didn't realise that there were so many versions... Gosh... Got her the cheaper, bigger font size version... They called it He he ben, apparently it is used in most churches... Not too sure though... Just praying very hard my mum reads the bible as she promised she would every morning... Got her devotion helps too... 40 days for a new believer in mandarin... She actually scolded me for wasting money and said that some of the words she also never see before... But I just told her to give me a chance to be filial... And she laughed... Well that's all for now... Until she gets discharged from the hospital, I won't be able to bring her to church... Trying to convince her to go for the 8am service on Sundays... It is in English though... But I think that's the best time for her... Knowing she is such a workaholic... Well, still perservering on in prayer for my father and brothers... When will they come to know the Lord? God in your time... I know in Your time...
Thank God for the various salvations of late that I have witnessed and brought to say the sinner's prayer with.. God You are just so good...
