Firstly, I would like to thank God that so far, I am still not feeling too sick in my body as a result of my pregnancy. In fact, sometimes, I forget that I am pregnant. The only uncomfortable thing I am experiencing right now is that I don't really have much appetite for food especially the oily stuff. When it comes to meal times, I would really have to think hard about what food to eat. Due to my poor appetite, I resorted to satisfying my cravings. If I crave for something, I should eat it since in the natural sense I have no desire for anything else. The sad part the stalls that could satisfy my craving were closed. My favourite fried chicken wing stall at Toa Payoh Lor 5 was closed!!! This morning, I went to Toa Payoh Lor 3, for my favourite "Kuey Chap", but the stall was closed as well. I resolve to try again tomorrow. Talk about being persistent. :)
I really thank God that I am not puking although sometimes I do feel nauseas especially after taking too much dairy and spicy food. Thank God that I can go on with my daily life and not feel sick...
Second thing I want to thank God for is about Uncle Eddie. Last Wednesday, we went to his home to pray for him because he wanted to remove the idols that he had been worshipping for years. I can consider him really hardcore religious but now he is a totally changed person. After the prayer of renounciation, the idols were taken down from the altar, thrown into the plastic bag, everything was swept cleaned. No more traces of idolatory. It was a victorious day for him and I believe God was telling me that if He can open Uncle Eddie's eyes, He will open my parents' eyes to see salvation, He will open my father-in-law's eyes to see salvation. No one is ever too hardcore for God to touch. Paul says this of his message: "... and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, ..."
It is not with persuasive words of wisdom that will win over hearts but it is the demonstration of God's power that will win the soul over to the bright side of eternity. I believe Uncle Eddie has experience the power of God and he knows who is the most powerful. If we look at the gospel accounts of many who were saved, God's power was demonstrated as Jesus answered the cries of those deprived. Experiencing God's power will bring life and peace. Most importantly, experiencing God's power will bring transformation, from lame to walk again, from sickness to health again, from blind to see again, from bondage of sin to freedom again and from rejection to restoration.
Lord, may you use me, use the church, use whoever is willing to be that vessel, that channel, that hand, that feet to touch and transform not with words only but with your power.
