Yo what's up!??!?!? I just finished my exercise today. And before this i had such an amazing experience. Today i was thinking of passing my friend and his pastor a book each. One was "The Great Controversy" to my friend and the other was "From Sabbath to Sunday" to the pastor. I bought the first book last week but couldn't find the 2nd book in ABC(Adventist Book Center). So i resorted to going all the way to church to get that copy from the library to give to this pastor. On the way i was also unsure of whether i was making the right choice, to give these books to them. And i was speaking inside myself that if it's not God's Will, then may the bus break down on the way there. I had to rush to church then back to dover rd to meet my friend. It was really a rush and it was amazing firstly that i arrived on time. Usually i'm late for about 10 mins but i was early there and i caught my friend walking towards me to the auditorium. Yup, the bus didn't break down after all. Ok that's fine and i forgot all about it. I passed the 2 books to him and asked him to help me give the 2nd book to his pastor and i left. On the way back i had to take bus 74. Halfway through the journey the driver re-ignited the engine and i suddenly remembered the "test" i said in my heart. I was thinking it can't be such a coincidence right? If it really breaks down then does it mean that it wasn't God's Will for me to pass the 2 books to them? If that's the case, then why let the bus break down AFTER i have handed it to them? After a few seconds, the bus was on its way. But i noticed that the airconditioner was not on and i was riding in an enclosed container with no air ventilation. Then, at the next stop, the driver started telling the passengers to get off the bus and get another one. I told him i was dropping off the next 3 stops so it was fine for him and there was a lady that didn't mind no air and i guess her stop was much further. I thought she was crazy to not change but anyway, at my stop i alighted and the driver gave me a complimentary ticket that allowed me to take bus 74 next time for free. I was still unsure why it was such a coincidence. Then i came out with this conclusion. What i had wanted was for the bus to break down on my way to meeting my friend. Ok, that didn't happen. So it means that it was God's will. And i believe God wanted to further re-assure me that i did the right thing so he allowed the bus to break down but not by my definition of breaking down. It was the air con that broke down instead. I'm not surprised God works in such ways. When we try to think of the many ways of how God is going to help us, suddenly God provides another way that you've never thought of before. It's the same case like that. And i was able to go back home without the bus actually breaking down. Yup, this just proves that God IS always working with us! Especially in circumstances where we are faced with dilemnas, that's the time when amazing things happen.
I'll just end with one of my favourite quotes from EGW
"Our heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us of which we know nothing. Those who accept the one principle of making the service of God supreme will find perplexities vanish and a plain path before their feet."

Great experience there :) glad to see that you're up and about spreading God's word...
I was just in class the other day and we were discussing that the SOP mentions that we can hasten the coming of Christ. IF we can actual hasten His coming... we could also actually delay His coming... dang.
When Christ sees the church finally become a living representation of Him... He'll come.
Looking at our current church's situation, it's kinda scary. We're living and preaching 'feel good' sermons... We don't preach to muslims and try to convert them because we'll go to Jail, our SANSO previledges will go, things will happen. But if we don't stand up for Him, when will we finally be like Him and when will He come? Just a thought...
true. What i guess we can do and are doing is to influence as many ppl as possible. We really have to work based on the situations. Like for now muslims are kinda untouchable for political reasons. But even without them we still have a whole bunch of ppl unreached yet so it's not really a problem that the muslims are not part of the target group since we got already more than what our hands can handle.
