The New Van

I'm so excited now. I'm waiting for my Husband to come with the new van!! Well it's not exactly new..it's a second hand van. But we're rejoicing because it's another answered prayer for us and our little girl.

We've been desiring and praying for a van to be used in the work here. And to be exact, it has only been less than 7 months since we ( including our little girl) prayed about it.. Below is the post that I wrote last year about the prayer for this van. Isn't God amazing? God answers our prayers, even our children's prayers.

We are fickle minded parents, that's what I realized today. :)
Just a few days ago, we saw this 15 seater commuter van and my Hubby told our 3 1/2 old daughter, to pray that God will give us a van like that. We have been really desiring..(or maybe dreaming?) to have a van for the 'work' since a lot of people and visitors come over and it's quite difficult to transport them, aside from the fact that we always cross the neighboring country bringng a lot of things.

So, back to the day when they saw the Commuter Van parked at the basement of the mall. The van was left opened, so they saw how spacious it was and it also had a TV inside. Our daughter just loved the TV and so when my hubby asked her if she like to have a van like that..she immediately said "Yes" and prayed.

Then just this evening, we went to Tesco to buy some breakfast and other stuff for our coming visitors who'll be staying for 3 days. We bought quite a lot of stuff since we have 21 visitors coming ( yes, that's why we'll really need a van!) and as a result we got more than 10 raffle coupons for a Nissan Triton Pick- up truck as the first prize! So, while my hubby was filling up the raffle coupons, he was becoming lazy and I had to urge him to go on writing because, what if we might win the 1st prize?hehehehe!!..So, that made us thinking that having a Pick-up truck ( instead of a Van) won't be so bad at all.

So, after the coupons was placed inside the box, My Hubby and our daughter made a trip again to see the Pick up truck that's to be given away as the 1st prize...so, he asked her to pray for the pick up truck...but surprisingly, our little girl, retorted, "No, I don't want that because I already prayed for a Van!"....hahahah!! See this, children can be more consistent with what they want and be so sure of their prayers...but we can be fickled minded sometimes..hehehehe!
