precious moments

tin, our home help, asked me to pray for her today, on her own initiative! this is a first!! (my family doesn't approve of me sharing the gospel with her, but God rulez!)

usually it's me who'd ask to pray for her..

she shared that when i prayed for her a few days back, she received healing for her rashes and today she showed me a small wound on her hand and asked for prayer!

i pray that she will know Jesus more and more and follow Him with all her heart

overheard my 4 yr old nephew telling my 4yr niece (who was angry for no apparent reason, and refused to talk to anyone) : "jie jie, even though you don't play with me but i still luuuurrve yoouuuu..."

no response from my niece at that but all the adults around were amazed and beaming ear to ear

that was when i first sang "telephone to Jesus" for my niece animatedly.., she listened quietly and the day after, each time she saw me walking by, she went: "telephone to Jesus.. telephone to Jesus.." haha..

Lyrics for the song:
telephone to Jesus X 3
everyday..
hello?
i want to talk to Jesus X 3
everyday..
hello?
Jamaiseh (greetings in nepali, where i first heard this song)

when we went east timor, we learnt to sing it in tetum
telefon ba Jesus X 3
loronglo..
hello?
hau kolia ho Jesus X 3
loronglo..
hello?
bondiak(gd morn)/bontarde(gd afternoon)/bonoite(gd nite)

i didn't know that my nephew already knew how to sing "Glory.." until my car radio stopped playing one night..

i'd been singing it in front of him only a couple of times, and he'd just been watching & listening intently..

that night, he was sitting in the frontseat with me and he was busy with the touch screen while i was driving, i didn't see what he pressed, but when i stopped, i couldn't get the radio to play.. i thought it was spoilt.. i couldn't get it to play despite countless tries..

i finally gave up and ask him to sing a song for me because the radio was spoilt
and he sheepishly went... "Glory.. Glory... Glory to the lamb.." i instantly melted..

i felt so sorry i got upset with him that the radio kinda hanged..

i asked him to pray for the radio to work..
we both layed hands on the radio :)
then i tried again, it still didn't work..

i got out for a little errand while my mom stayed with him in the car..

when i came back, i saw them walking around somewhere near the car..

but when i tried again after we got back into the car.. the radio worked!!! me & my nephew beamed at each other.. and i couldn't stop saying Hallelujah!!

love spending time with my nieces and nephew, been playing alot with them especially during their school holidays, after i came back from east timor :)

remember singing "into my heart" with them several times, coz i really wanted Jesus to come in & stay in their hearts :)

one day, i asked my nephew to sing "into my heart" together with me.. again..
before he finished the first line, he stopped and said:"but xiaogu.. (translates to "little aunt" in chinese) Jesus is already in my heart...!" haha..

so then we sang "out of my heart.. out of my heart.. shine out of my heart, Lord Jesus.."

"xiaogu, can you pray for me?" my niece said one night during bedtime at a chalet and i was sleeping next to her.. i went "huh?" twice, i think, before i realized that my niece was really asking me to pray for her.. her parents doesn't approve, and she's told me before that she can't pray aloud at home.. coz her parents don't like it..

i pray that God keeps her safe, strengthens her faith and fills her heart with His unceasing love everyday and night, every moment of her life

thank You Lord for such precious moments in my life
