Amazing Grace

This Christmas 2005 is definitely the best Christmas I've ever had!!!

Besides getting cool stuff, which IS NOT the main reason for it being such a great one (but definitely helped!), I received the best gift ever!!!

My Mom accepted Christ!!!!!!! :)


It was during the Penang First AoG Christmas Dinner, held at the Equatorial Hotel. There was an altar call and she stepped out. I was surprised.

I cried, nuttier than a fruitcake. She cried, surprising me even more.


Later, when we had a chance to talk, Mom told me that lately when she was burdened by problems, she'd start thinking 'O Lord...' instead of turning to a certain idol.

I told her about God's promise - I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. You...will be my people, and I will be your God. - Ezekiel 36:25-28


I think that definitely gave her food for thought.

What can I say? PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Yet, although she's saved, there's still much work to be done. Mom's not yet grounded in the basic tenets of Christianity. But I'm happy.

Well, one down, one more to go in my (immediate) family!

Next, I'm waiting for God's promise that the Walls of Jericho will come down. Dad had better watch out!!!

:) *hugs* to you!!!
