I can't blog about our present day to day blessing yet since I haven't posted all our past blessings and miracles. So, for now..most of my posts will all be looking back from the past.
---------------
Has anyone ever told you," Do you want a car, I'll give you mine! " Sounds too good to be true huh? Well, something like that did happen to us. It didn't 'just' happen but it all started with a desire to have one, then a prayer and then FAITH.
My HUbby and I were already contented riding sweetly in our motorbike until, we learned that we're going to have a baby. It's fun to get wet in the rain, when you're just newly weds but it'll be pitiful if you'll have a baby with you getting wet in the rain too.
So, this led my HUbby to desire to have a car. We were just newly weds in a foreign country and we're not 'professionals' with high paying jobs. So maybe if we wanted to save up for a car, our baby will be then 15 years old, before we procure one? :)
When we brought our 2 month old baby, Tricia to Thailand, it was so timely that our Korean friends went back to Korea. They were kind enough to let us borrow their car for a while they were away for two months. Then before our Korean friends came back to Thailand, another family friend were going back to US for 6 months and they said they could use their car. So, that's total of 8 months of our baby (and us!) enjoying and being seated comfortably in the car wherever we go. This has triggered more desire for us to pray for a car and we did. Even some of our friends who visited us, included our 'desire' in their prayers without telling them so.
Then a few weeks before our American friend was coming back to Thailand, we saw a big FOR SALE sign on top of a nice black NIssan Sunny car. The car was displayed in the church and the owner is one of the church members. We inquired of the price and the method of payment. He said, it costs 110,000 Baht but he can lower it down for to 90,000 Baht. We can pay a downpayment of 50,000 baht but the rest of the balance must still be paid in cash within the month because he needs the money urgently.
We were really so tempted with his offer. But the question is.."where to get money?"..So, my HUbby and I prayed for a week. But after a week, nothing came. No answer to our 90,000 Baht question. ..and our American friend is almost coming back..so for sure we have to return back their car..So, with a heavy heart we just let it go.
Then just a few days after we let go of the NIssan Sunny Car. We received an email for our American friend who owned the car we were using. He said, that they'll be coming back to Thaialnd in a few weeks time and...HE IS GIVING US HIS CAR!!... As simple as that! No conditions ..no downpayments, no installment plans..but he's just gave it to us for FREE. We had to read and reread his short email again and again to check whether we have misunderstood it.
And oh, we just rejoiced in God's answer to our prayers! God really had a better plan for us and that was the reason why we never came up with 90,000 Baht because he wants to have us a car that cost us NOTHING!
Our God is truly amazing..a God that meets the desire of our hearts.
So, up to now, we are still enjoying and being seated comfortably in the green Nissan Sunny that God has provided to us. We're continually amazed at God's provision and at the same time our friends' generosity.
