fAStInG - dAY 2
When i woke up this morning, my head felt very heavy. So, I decided to stay in bed for a while more hoping it will get better. At the same time, I took this chance to pray thanking God for this day he has blessed me and how he had sustained me throughout yesterday. Once again, I asked for his grace, strength and wisdom to be upon each and every brothers and sisters of NTC. Amen.
The minute i got out of bed.. I felt like vomiting.. *bleagh..
Luckily, I managed to make it to the toilet and gradually felt better as i moved around. My legs were wobbly and I still had the "floating" feeling as I made my way to CGH for my medical appointment. *high..
After my medical appointment, I went home to take a quick nap before reporting back to work in the afternoon. As I was reading "A Living Testimony to the Truth", I felt that God was speaking to me! *rejoices.. 2 things greatly moved me; (a) Recovering all the "lost sheeps" for Jesus Christ (b) Abandoning my sinful nature and to walk in his WILL! Immediately,I bowed down to pray. I knew the Holy Spirit was working within me and confessed my sins and shortcomings earnestly whilst asking for his forgiveness and to grant his grace to be upon me. I also prayed that he will guide me in his light so I may quickly overcome all my shortcomings and be a living testimony for him in this time of the OMEGA.
Indeed, God has paved my way! People were impressed with the fact that I will be fasting for 3 days without food nor water. Few believe it is even possible. However, I told them that it is impossible for me to survive for 3 days without food and water but with God.. Everything is POSSIBLE! So, I took this chance to preach to them about why I was doing this. Somehow, I spoke all the correct words and they seemed to gain a deeper understanding about Christianity. I was very HAPPY because I knew that God had blessed me with his wisdom to do his works. I thank him and I praise him! *Hallelujah!
I met up with Aunty Grace to go church together. Xiao Jun, Chao Quan and their mum arrived in S'pore last nite and joined us for service tonight. They too, had already started fasting on the plane. *praise the Lord.. Tonight's service was very glorious but i expect tomorrow's service to be even more glorious! I bought the "Shan Yao Fen" (Mountain Medicine Powder) in preparation for breaking fast tomorrow. On my way home, I met Izzudin on the train! What a surprise! We caught up a little before he alighted at Tanah Merah.
Today, I finally understood why people said that the 2nd day is the "KILLER"! But, the good news is that, everyone says that things will be better tomorrow! (because your body would have gotten used to it). Whatever it is, I just ask of God to sustain all of us throughout tomorrow. The finishing line is in sight, so I WILL NOT GIVE UP! Amen.
