Prayers answered again and again and again

I am totally into believing that God answers prayers.Maybe not always in my timing and how I want it to be, but he truly does.
Today i have a few stories that i want to share because i am so in awe of God's goodness.One of the incident just happened a few hours ago.
The first story is about a key.My house key here is Sibu.I tend to be absent-minded at times and end of last year when i was supposed to return for a new teaching year in 2009, i realise i had misplaced it.I was really worried but i thought it will pop up sometime soon. But when it was the last day for me in kl, i was really frantic.I was like wondering how on earth am i gonna get home and into my room in Sibu.That day was New Years eve.
As a family tradition, we would spend the last hour of the year and the first hour of the New Year in prayer.While praying, the thought of the missing key came into my mind and i could not really concentrate in prayer.It was then that i really cried out to God for help.I told God that if He did not help me find the key, i would not be able to pray at all.I kept pressing in and believing that God would provide a solution for me.Suddenly the word"TCF bag"came to my mind.I really got excited.Ok God i am getting something here.Thank you for answering my prayers.Then i was silent for a while.I could not believe it but I had to ask God" where is the TCF" bag.It was hilarious as i don't even remember where that bag was.As soon as i said the request, the reply came"under the bed".
Now, let me tell you, for the past two weeks prior to this date i searched my whole room and even under the bed and found nothing.In my mind, it seemed impossible that it should be under the bed but i know that God is never wrong and i went to look for it under the bed.And as true as it can be, there was a Tcf bag under the bed and my house key was in it.
I am so touched that God is involved in the nitty-gritty detail of my life and as i said HE ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS.

The second incident happened yesterday.I was off from school yesterday due to floods that seems to be happening a lot these days.My school area is a flood prone area as its just near the banks of Rajang river.The King tide( high water levels due to heavy rains in Kapit and Belaga-upstream) is said to be coming again this monday so i will keep you posted and show you pictures if I can.
Initially if i had school that day, i would have had a really super duper busy day and i was contemplating to visit the National Service students as i had a few students from my school....SMK CHUNG HUA and i wanted to see them again as i could see that they were really happy to see me and i wanted to minister and reach out to them.But as God is the Master Weaver, floods allowed me to stay at home and rest so it was possible for me to visit my students in NS. I wrote each of them an encouraging note and i bought some food stuff for them too.We then met in a church friends house to travel together.While waiting, we found out that due to the floods we were not able to visit the NS students.In my heart of hearts i really wanted to go home but we were invited to go in and have some CNY goodies so i relented and went in.I was the youngest adult and it wasnt long that i felt out of place.I then felt led to go to the kitchen.Two of our youth form church was there and though i am totally not close to them,i went to talk to them.I just asked a few questions and from there began to talk bout life experiences and my teaching life and praying and God stuff and the future too. I began pouring out whatever i felt the Lord telling me to say and of course I had no idea why i was saying all these things to them.I have spoken less than ten proper sentences to them in my four years here and now was just rattling away as though i knew them ages ago.Anyways after sharing and answering many of their life's questions, both girls told me that they were praying and asking the Lord to bring an advisor along their pathway so they could asked all these hard questions they had and to also lead them, and God... oh my...thats what He did... He brought me to them.I was so humbled by how God intricated everything so perfectly just for me to be there and share with these two girls.One of the Girls immediately asked me to be her mentor and at that night she sent me a mess and it went like this..."Hai aunty sheena, really thanks for tonight.really amazing,u know.. i nearly burst into tears u were talking.tried very hard to control.the things you shared just touched me and i really feel very comfortable talking with you. I hope u can continue to advise and guide me" .
God is our Master planner.We can't understand why things happen the way they do...but u know what i am ok with that coz i know that God has everything under control.

And my last short story of a very long story happened just a few hours ago.Its a Saturday and usually on weekends i have to eat my meals on my own... its something i dont really enjoying doing.I opened my bible to todays devotion... i am using the chronological bible-NIV version and the heading goes like this.God sends manna and quail.As soon as i read that, i prayed loudly "Lord please send some manna and quail my way " and continued to do my work.Less than an hour later, a friend calls up and says "Sheena, would you like some beef rendang"I was ecstatic.God...thank you..thank you a million times over.I am touched he remembered my simple and seemingly unimportant prayer.

God has been showing to me lately that he wants me to have faith to ask Him for the little things, the seemingly unimportant things, the nitty-gritty stuff.I BELIEVE i am growing in this area.Little by little everyday

Thats all for my stories...

Sweet blessings
