28 June, 2008 - Internet Spree

Recently, i discovered the wonderful joy and convenience of internet shopping. Just select the items and add to shopping cart. Get details, read fine prints, transfer money, wait for about a week or two and viola...the goods arrived :) I am getting obsessed with it hahaha scouring through the web pages, relentless searching for cute little items to own heehee so far i have made two transactions to buy BB cream, shimmering eyeliner, stocking cream for Elysia, showercap and a Longchamp bag muahahaha Easy easy la

Attended the church service today :) thought it was 5.30pm and i ended up late for it...cos it started at 5pm arrrggghh

The theme was about family. Read an article about the miracles that God did to a family and i felt tears welled up in my eyes..shucks, that was embarrassing cos i was sitting alone in a corner in Hans looking silly with tears.

Jimmy was successful man who had taken many things for granted. He had a heck care attitude at home, at work and towards life. Then different things began to happen and he experienced all kinds of challenges.

- He had a punctured lung and almost lost his life. His doctor told him that his life is a bonus from then on.
- His business went bust and he was saddled with overwhelming debts and made a bankrupt.
- His marriage failed and the whole family fell apart. He has custody of one of his two sons.
- Son was diagnosed with last stage of brain cancer. Jimmy did everything he could to save his son. Yet after seven months and seven days, he lost his 10 year old son to cancer.

The turning point in Jimmy's life came when he recalled his son's last days in the hospital and the ordeal that they were going through. Jimmy was utterly helpless and deeply pained by the sufferings his son was going through, and asked him if he was afraid to die.

His son said,"No Dad.
Jimmy asked ,"Why?,"
His son replied,"If I die, Dad, I will be seeing Jesus."
(this was the part that touched my heart and made me sad)

Because of his son's hunger for Christ even to his last breath, the strength and peace that he demonstrated and all the significant signs that unfolded before Jimmy, he realised that there is indeed a God and He has a purpose for all that has happened in his life..

Jimmy surrendered his life to God and God did a great restoration work in his life.

Today, Jimmy is a happy man. With these blessings:-

- Blessed with great health
- Career has been restored
- Broken relationship with parents has been restored
- Married a wonderful and God-loving woman

I guess it takes more than just a few words to truly understand the testimonies of all these people but i honestly believe that if we hold on to our faith and trust, He will show us the way keke
