He turned my mourning into dancing
About 2 weeks back, I was at Toa Payoh Interchange, wanting to develop some photos from the shop nearby. There were roadshows & product booths around the interchange & a lady so happen to 'catch' my attention to try her service--massage. I don't know what got up to me, I was not in a good mood, blur blur & was 'conned' into paying for the pre-service. I paid $78 (full payment) before I get to receive the service of a full body massage & scrub. Honestly I felt utterly stupid, dumb, gong gong (whatever you may call it) for paying $78 when I'm already struggling financially.I regretted for signing up after that. I told Eugene about it & he can't believe I could be so blur (although he didn't scold me, but comforted me. Thank you dear!). Well, a person from the spa/massage/etc company called me up for scheduling of an appointment. I was thinking, "Why not? Since I've paid my precious $78." But on that day of my appointment (yesterday), I wanted to back off, because I need money desperately, especially for my hamsters' food. However, I was rejected because it cannot be refunded (stated in the receipt). I reluctantly went.
God made a very valuable turn, that by losing this $78 to massage (by the way, it was really good), the lady boss of the company asked a lot about Christianity & I was so happy to share with her. It was really an appointment by God. She's not a Christian but she believes God/Holy Spirit is with her because she always have a sense of unspeakable joy. I gave her Charis name card, & told her that she could contact Pastor Pit if she has further questions to ask. A friend of hers invited her to New Creation this Saturday.. & I'm hoping & praying that she would come to Charis this Sunday, as I told her that an annointed servant of the Lord is coming to preach. Wherever she may go (whatever churches), I pray that she will accept Jesus Christ as her personal saviour by saying the Sinner's/Salvation prayer & continue to walk in faith & joy with the Lord.
Tisa, if you're reading this, bless you! If you have more queries, you can give me a call. Hope to see you in Charis. :)
