Finally!!! My comp is working...Thanks to both my brothers who helped me to set up the computer and were there to comfort me when things weren't going smoothly with our parents and me. I changed my blog address because I couldn't bear to fight with them any longer and get my darling brother into trouble with them because of me.

I've only 5 hours of sleep...but oh I can't wait to tell u guys what went on for the last few days! It's just so amazing how things suddenly happen the way they do. Last night, both monster and I met this strange man sitting at the coffee shop while we were walking home late at night. It was weird how we started talking to him and sat down for over an hour with him. I thought that monster knew the strange man. It was only after we got up and were walking on our own that both of us realised that neither of us knew that guy at all. When he opened his mouth to speak to us, we could tell that this was out of the ordinary. He was speaking...like God was speaking through him. It seemed so unreal...as if the encounter was all but a figment of my imgination. But it wasn't. Both of us knew it wasn't. He spoke what was within our hearts...he confirmed the answers we got for the questions we had when we prayed and asked of our Father...the thoughts and deeds that we had in our private life he also knew without us telling... the future, he prophesised..and most amazingly, everything he told us was accurate. And with every sentence he said came with bible verses he knew by heart which he told us to write down and meditate upon. He knew...he knew what was in us. I remembered being so startled when he told me about the vision of the star that I had. My goodness! I didn't even tell him and yet, he knew! Lord!!! Both monster and I couldn't sleep that night. We were so amazed with this encounter...so delirious that our Father is working wonders through people to answer and tell us that He is there. How often are you ever stopped in the middle of nowhere, only to meet someone who seems like a fortune-teller and knows every minute detail about you and gives you solutions to problems you thought was impossible to solve?! Our Father is so so amazing!!! Before we parted, the strange man kept telling us that the glory is not his. If we should ever need to thank someone, it is our Father in Heaven we should sing our praises to because all the glory belongs to him. Thank you Father!!!! Thank you so much...

I'm still shaken by this encounter. I know it is real. If it happened only to me, then I know that perhaps, I was hallucinating. But I wasn't because monster was with me. Both of us were talking and talking about it till the wee hours of the morning.. the more we talked, the happier we were when we reaffirmed and turned to each other to pour out everything we felt and dwell on the words that this strange guy said. Kenji, he said the same thing that Simon told you to warn me about. He warned me too. I know that the warning is real and that it will come sooner or later. No matter what happens, I know I will be strong because I will be sheltered. I believe Kenji... I do. That Wednesday Dec 14th incident on Psalms 91 assured me all the more of His infinite love.

It wrote, "God will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones".

That Wednesday itself, was one of the many days when you know, you just know that He is trying to tell you something. That morning, I was reading daily bread and found the inspiration to meditate and ponder over Psalms 91. (Yes, of all the books and chapters, I chose Psalms 91 for no apparent reason.) For the first time, I opened the bible and really analysed a part of the bible with a pen and notebook. Then in the evening, many things happened under the roof that made me so upset and sad. When I was online after that, Kenji had told me that the army of angels is there to protect me. It surprised me that he said this because the verse in Psalms 91 on God's angels had a lasting impression on me. I remembered dismissing it as a mere coincidence. Then, the subsequent incidents that happened made me stop to think twice. That of Kelvin's feelings about what I was going through without me telling him anything..and after that, the incident about the music that Clement sent to me in the morning. I didn't even know that the song was on Psalms 91 till that evening when I was online and told him what I was going through in my family. It was then that he said, "Elaine, remember the song I sent you in the morning?" I listened to it for the 3rd time, and my goodness! It was Psalms 91. Oh my goodness..there are over a hundred chapters in Psalms but the song HAD to be from Psalms 91!!! Then it struck me hard, things don't happen by accident..not when there are 4 coincidental incidents in a day. That was too much for me. I knew then, that things happen the way they do only because my Lord allows it to happen.

I can't believe it..my adventure with Him has only just begun and things are starting to fall into place. Oh Lord...oh monster..I'm so so happy..

-Yours truly ;
