Day of Conversion

Cultivate The Heart, Real Discipline is The Discipline of the Heart.

It was 30.12.07, Sunday. Sunday and I had a strong feeling, a desire, a 'want' to go to church. How strange it can be! I never have this feeling before! How am I suppose to tell everybody that I want to go to church?? I had to 'find excuse' to go. I told the children and my husband that I want to submit the catechism form, which is a reality -- submitting the form personally would save a few cents of stamp fees too.

So that day, we had our Chicken Rice for lunch (late lunch). While eating, it began to rain. However, as always the case, if God wants me to go to church, He would definitely had everything 'ready'. The rain stopped later and we went to church. We were not able to go basement to buy the Sacred Heart the previous week. But this week, we could make it. Clara remembered and she mentioned about buying the Sacred Heart for the home. I have one Sacred Heart (in the form of a laminated bookmark) at home, but I thought it would be better to buy another one to bless the home.

We arrived at the church early and Clara bought a pendent and I bought a small Sacred Heart of Jesus. That day, the church was again so insightful. Every time I went to the church, I saw the sign “God knows Your Past, And He Offers You A Future. Come In and Find Peace.” and it really is. God really KNOWS and He knows what has happened and He guided me there, GUIDED me for everything and what the priest says are GOD's WORDS. The power of the Holy Spirit really guided the Priest and the priest are able to spread the words of God (what God wants to tell his people) to us.

God Knows what has happened. He wanted me to be more forgiving and respect my husband. He is not perfect, neither am I. Both of us are equally as bad, all having our own flaws and weaknesses.

We were still having cold war that day and night after coming back from the church. In the night, we quarrelled and I was very angry with him. However, I am not really 'angry' with him in the heart. Somehow, it is very very strange night. In the end, I told him many things, about how strange it was, why I go to church and what happened...

That night, early morning of 31.12.07, a lot of strange sound -- things being moved or dropped; even the children's door was slammed loudly, with the children feeling so scared. Ricsson was always so brave. Hardly was he scared of such things. But that night, I could see terror in his face. Both the children were really scared. I too, witnessed the strange sound of the door moving and 'as though someone peeping' at the door. I thought Richard was doing it. However, later I realized it was not. That was the night I had a good talk with Richard and I told him how not to be 'make use' of by Satan. I cannot believe I am 'talking' to him as if I am 'preaching' to him. He listened, but I do not know if he really understand or heard what I said.

But after that day, he was 'changed', not everything, but still its an improvement. It was a good change and I hope he would not be 'inspired' only for three days only. The next day, we went to my mother's house for dinner. On the way at Causeway Point, we saw interesting events at the grass field beside Causeway Point or Woodlands MRT Station. We spent 5 - 10 minutes there before leaving the place.



That night, we packed crabs home, Clara wanted to eat and my mother ordered them. Back home, we had a wonderful time eating crabs. After that, we were surprised by the loud sound of Fireworks. Clara took some pictures of the fireworks. We had never seen such beautiful Fireworks before. It was a good start for the New Year.
