Great is Thy Faithfulness...Sept 2006

I know that I have to blog about this slip of paper. For all possible reasons, logical and even logical, the result on this paper is nothing short of a miracle. And I don't write this carelessly. Just a few days before I was about to fly off to HongKong with Dan to take his 3 exam papers, life truly took an unexpected turn. He was on a rare study leave of one week, trying to cramp a mountainous amount of information - which seemed really humanly impossible to begin with. On top of that, it was the final week of preparation for David and CC's wedding. As I mentioned earlier, life took an unexpected turn in the midst of already tight circumstances. That brings to mind John Hutchenson's definition of FAITH is - That a life of FAITH is a Fantastic Adventure In Trusting Him [God]. On 1st Sept, having realized that I was 5 weeks pregnant, I suddenly bled in the middle of Takashimaya. The rest of the events were again nothing short of dramatic. Some little delay at the always crowded taxi stand at Taka, I found myself in Thomson Medical with Dan frantically trying to infuse saline into me. Not long, my pulse regain its normal rate and the scan showed the baby's heart still beating. God has sustained the baby but it all was a blur to me. Family and close friends looked at me with sad and worried eyes. As I stayed in hopsital that night, I saw Dan trying to mug his books as well as keep me company. Of all times, this had to happen. I really had to trust that God knew what He was doing. But it was not easy. The stress in Dan was obviously escalating. I heard from my mom-in-law, that Dan sped through heavy traffic to get to the hopsital on time. The next day, Dan went off to the wedding alone. I knew that he wanted us to go together and be blessed together. But he remembered me...at home and knew how much I wanted to be there. Through his handphone, I heard the entire church service and my heart was blessed. 2 days later, on Monday, Dan flew off to Hong Kong at 6 am with a heavy heart cos he knew he was leaving me behind, alone in Singapore with an unstable condition. His first call came and he reported that the exams were difficult. My heart fell a little. But it didn't matter anymore, I just wanted Dan to come back to me, safe and sound. So did he. The exams were not important to him anymore.

Dear readers, you can imagine, in light of all of these, passing the examinations were really nothing short of a miracle and the Lord has placed all the events to show us that He indeed overcomes all things and brings miracles to past. We can boast in nothing but in Jesus Christ our Lord.
