Testimony of my colleague's conversion!

My colleague XY, converted on the 30th Dec 2007! :)

I known this colleague for about half a year now. But i have not really know her deeper. We both came into the same school Jul 2007. However she is in the morning session while i was in the afternoon. in fact i was closer to those in the afternoon session teachers....what we have in common probably we are both new to the school.

It was only moments of time here and there we exchanged our hi and byes...

on 27th Dec 07, we went back to school for AGM. Caught up with her then about how we spent the holidays...then i got to know she actually went to a christmas svc back in her hometown with her mum. (who is a believer) It was a brief moment as the meeting was about to start...i rem in that conversation she asked: Does your church allow people just walk in or they need to have a friend there? ....totally amazed at the sincere question, i replied: of course you can just walk into the church....

After the meeting, i was personally "burdened" by the amount of work i forsee in the school term. i walked back home talking to my Father: GOD, why u put me in this school huh?"
Then i was quickly being reminded of the conversation i had with XY, His still small voice impressed on my heart:" what if it is just for this one soul?"
Heart was being humbled and i responded:" ok ok, if it is for this one soul, i will stay...."
GOD truly is amazing and faithful.

i gave a msg to extend invitation to sun svc to XY and she immediately agreed. i could tell she was waiting for the invite...:P

Filled with a lot of excitement yet apprehension, firstly, i do not know her well. And i do not know how ready she is...etc etc...
I rem on sat and sun morning pre svc prayer, i keep praying for her conversion...
at the svc during the holy communion time, His voice came again....
" Why did you lose focus?...Dont focus on her conversion. WHat if you are part of the process of her journey...just sowing or watering only...Focus on ME."
my heart humbled (again):" ok, sorry...GOD. i let go. even if i am supposed to be just sowing on her, let it be...i will trust in You."

Heart released...i enjoyed the sermon by Ps Ben a lot...Following GOD's lead.
At the response time, i just waited...for HIS voice to tell me whether to ask XY or not...
Ps Ben asked for a response from pre believers...(not the subtle hands raised, but to stand up wor...)
i opened my eyes. and looked at XY, she was already standing up!! she saw me....we smiled....WOW!! PTL! i knew it had to be GOD! Thank you Lord.

(as i am writing now, i was again reminded one of my prayers few days ago. SQ told me can ask GOD for marriage gift...and in my heart then, i was telling Him, if only one gift, i ask for the gift of salvation of my family and pple ard me...but hor, truthfully, XY did not come across my mind tt time. :P and truthfully, i knew in my heart (since only one gift, as i thought) i felt a pinch in my heart that i was hoping that i "can ask" from GOD to give the house for both of us...still self-seeking tt time...whahahaa...)

GOD will lead you to where His grace can be found.
There must be a purpose of where He placed us.
GOD is faithful even when we are faithless.
When our heart is still, we can hear HIS still small voice.
Where your treasure is, there your heart will be.
The gift that truly brings joy is indeed the gift of salvation.

Thank LORD, for being in my life!
amen!
