8th and Praying

There is only one explanation to the 8th one: prayer.

My mum unfailingly pray for me every day for the last 28 years.
(the only person whose love i have given up competing against..
i simply won't be able to love her more in return).

Sometimes, when she told me over the phone that she prays this and that for me..
I would just take it for granted.

But for the 8th case..
what can i say?
A complete stranger left a message: 'i want to sell my property'.
There were so many agents in the website and they picked me?

Some unbelievable events took place.
two days after i visited his place, his neighbor came knocking,
wanting to buy his house.
i have not signed any agreement with him.
only verbal agreement between us.
he could have dealt directly with the buyer to avoid paying me comms.
instead he told the buyer, "i have an agent, pls liaise with him".

I was like.. "whaat.... " when he told me that.
i didn't expect such loyalty even from a friend,
(coz i doubt i have such loyalty myself)
and yet this is.. a stranger.
they were not stupid.. they were simply holding to their words.

Few unbelievable events followed,
and in three days..
- i found out that the family are christian, including the indonesian maid.
- these baptist church couple have outstanding integrity that amaze me. they told the buyer the defects in their house, even though they were not visible.
they were not stupid.. they were simply not compromising.
- and we close the deal in three days.

Sigh.. what a grace.. what a couple.
I dunno what they learned from their church, but the pastor taught well.
they are not speaking in tongue.. yet they have the fruit of the Spirit.

Coming back to prayer-
I can only thank everyone who have been praying for me.
I need more of those, really.
Because you see.. I am so far from being good enough,
that I need so much grace, so many prayers.

Thank you for your prayer =)

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...
