Linda.

 

Good day to all.

 

My testimony was a long time ago one. yea, I am still a new baby in it though.

There is a thing that I wanna share.

I always name it as “The biggest Miracle in my life.”

Along the way, not only my friend from Singapore, Chean and Shereen + gang influenced my life. but there is another girl whom God has called me to her, guide her and bring her up and lift her up in a Godly way.

She is none others than Linda Goh, my Mei Cheang. =)

Lets do some history about me and her. Bear with me ya. haha.

It was dated back in the year of 2006, the year where we first met. It was form 6.

we were in the same class, then we went to the same tuition together.

and from there, we became closer. but, still just like normal friends, hi and bye.

then in upper 6, I dunno how and somehow we got close in upper 6, forming a group call ALO group. (Ah Lian organisation). this group exists for a reason! consist for 6 members and its growing. 6 of them are so… KAMPUNG that they never try those stuff that kampung people try/eat/play. yeah, in short, they are Ah Lian in the City. hahaha!

So, back to Linda. So, I can say that I have known her since…. a very long time ago.

 

our relationship became closer after we skype together.

ok, the skype story. I started skype-ing with Chean back in Singapore when I first accepted Christ as she wants to grow together with me in Christ. She is a great sister of mine. =)

Chean and Linda were close to. Because we are Ah Lians. =) haha.

So, Chean noticed that there are lots of stress and problems with Linda, and start talking to her and talk to her about our Lord, Jesus. I still rmber Chean told her about prayers.. saying that.. “ You can start praying by starting with Dear Heavenly father…. then continue with your request and prayers, and end with Amen”

so, she tried. I mean, Linda tried.

 

We are still having skype session when Linda is interested to know about the Lord.

So, this goes on.

 

one day, I was having finals and my day&night totally became haywire. I sleep in the morning, study in the night. and I can practically sleep anytime I want.

So, this fine day, I was having dinner after studying, with my parents. I was blur.. they didn’t want to disturb my studies as they will have bible study on skype in the morning 9am, and 7am is the time I get my sleep almost daily when I am having exam.

That night, chean texted me… and say..

“PTL! Linda has accepted Christ on skype and I am so touched!!!!” Its God’s work and praise the Lord!”

 

The message was longer and I couldn’t remember it, I just remembered I teared after seeing the message. God indeed is an awesome God!

So, we continue our bible study more frequently…. until when Chean graduated from NUS and she was caught up with work. She is still busy with work now though. hardly talk to her but we still keep each other in thoughts.

 

How I get Linda out of her shell?

 

after my final exam in my final year final sem, I got this calling and mission from God. God wants me to bring Linda one step further from where she was. Yes, to make her independent and a servant. I told God, “yes, I will obey You and I am going to do that”

So, I started by taking Linda with me to Church. Each person gets a different message everytime from church. I brought her there so that she can know more about Christ and know His work, and to understand the Bible better.

I kept my persistency.

and I get to introduce her again to my bestie, Shereen. Shereen is always a supportive and blood vomitting friend/sista/dear of mine. She is never old/mature to me. =)

Linda seemed to adapt well in my circle of friends. So, the group slowly grow as time goes.

Every weekend activity, I gradually included Linda in, so that she can find something, or someone to hang on to when I am gone to sabah. yes, knowing that I have to come to Sabah, and I have limited TIME back in Peninsula, I am glad that God has worked through me to Linda.

 

I still remember one day, when we were in church service. Linda suddenly turned to me and say.. “Kuen, I can speak in tongues d!!”  She cried! I shouted to God with Joy!!!!! Its definitely a big step for her and a big breakthrough for her! I am so proud of her and I am always proud of her!!!!

Weeks after weeks, we became closer.. as close as a sister can be, and we shared about almost everything. I shared my testimony with her, how sHereen brought me up in CHrist, and how she showered and watered the seed of christ that has planted in me long ago.

 

This is what we do while we were on our way home from church along the long, never-ending, expensive Kesas highway. =)

 

Before I got my posting, I told Linda.

“hey, do you know that God actually gave me a mission after my finals, to bring you up and to grow with you? and to get you a cluster of friends and be independent to go to church…?”

She said.. “Kuen, you knw what? I have been praying about the same thing!!! God sent you to me!!! =)”

wow… how wonderful God’s work is right?

SHe prayed, and God sent me.

I wouldn’t know this if I didn’t share with her about God’s mission for me. seriously, I praise the Lord!

 

Every single week, God has been doing miracles on our lives. Including her!

 

Another testimony for Linda.

 

One day, SHe msged me on fb, saying that she is very despair with her family condition. (by the way, her family isnt as whole as it is, but she is the one holding on to it).

I read the fb msg and I felt heartbroken. Immediately, I start praying in Spirit.

Miraculously, I started typing prophecy on her. It was as if like God is speaking through my fingers you knw.  Holy spirit practically filled me in that night!

The one thing that I remembered clearly what I said to her was.. “Cheang, you are going to the the master of the family and you are going to lead the family! and reunite them and bring them back together in cHrist name.”

 

Week after week, on and off, she will have family issues, but I keep encouraging her, to start bringing mum to the church this and that.

True enough, God’s miracle is always a miracle eventhough it’s a small miracle. =)

She went to this Taiping mission trip with our CG. She was blessed by Ps. Bernard. Ps. Bernard gave her another prophecy…

“You will find a right guy in the future and u will be ready for a relationship. You will be the leader of the family and unite them again.”

 

mind me, Ps. Bernard doesn’t know about her condition (I think) before prophecy was given.

God spoke again through Ps. Bernard to her!!!

 

By the way, Linda has some medical complication which strikes her confidence down in getting into a relationship. I brought her to M4J in faith, for the healing service. yes, FAITH! and Phillip Mantofa is just awesome!!! (now I cant wait to meet him in SUrabaya next year JAnuary).

 

About mentari tuition. why Linda got so involved.

mmm…. I started to invite her when Tim fails to invite her everytime. I told Linda, “ its ok if u don’t want, or not ready yet. no obligation. but no harm trying at the same time” =)

I think this sentence of mine made her ponder quite some time. Yes, I have been blessed with the kids and I share with her everytime after teaching the kids.

one day, she told me suddenly she wants to go mentari. That was after a few months after I start serving in Mentari. So, she shared why she decided to start.

She asked God.. “how do I get more blessings from You God????”

God answered her question… “Serve, serving heart.”

 

Obedience rocks ya! haha. She started to attend Mentari and She loves it! and AUnty Prema opened up her eyes I think. =) as well as the kids! they are a bunch of cute kids whom I love them so much!

 

so, up to this date. Linda is an independent girl, who goes to church, and have a bunch of supportive church friends.

I was happy to see all these happening, and a few weeks before I leave, God spoke to me..

“enough, your job is done here… its time for you to leave for Greater things.”

Believe me or not, months before I leave, God always give me the indication about Sabah, and ask me to GO, be obedient, and everything will turn out just fine. yes, God has been assuring me for MONTHS! because I doubted my choice of following His Will. I was reluctant to go.

Varsity camp and YA camp spoke a lot to me about GO and serving Him. I knew God is preparing me, and I am getting ready to Go.

Even on the last SUnday service I went with Shereen, I didn’t speak much because I tend to cry, Prayers was about KAdazan, iban SABAH! owh my gosh….. Even god assures me to GO on my very last weekend in KL. haha.

True enough, on my very last weekend, I didn’t hang out with my gang. instead, I went back to my parents. They tak sampai hati la.

SO, I heard, Linda cried suddenly and broke down all of a sudden. She misses me.

 

I couldn’t bear to see her also… because I will cry as well. Tears is the sign language for love towards the other.

I was told by her that I leave impacts in lives and I just leave like that!~ huhuhuhu….

I seriously dunno what kind of impact I have left in lives, but she said if more than one person says so, u better believe it. God knows. =)

 

For now, I am so glad that Linda has grown so much in Christ and she is able to lead her mum and family member to church! and she started to love, and care for the family and trying to be the glu that patch all of them up together.

God, I proclaim your words on her that you will guide her and BLESS HER in all ways!

 

Sometimes I do think that I am weaker than Linda.. haha. I look tough but inside of me, I am very fragile. lol.  Anyway, There are so much more that I wanna tell about Linda but its just too much, more than words can say. =)

I love her so so so much that words could even explain. I am glad that we got closer each day.

even now I am far away, my prayers are always with her and she is always in my thoughts. =)
