The Wonderwoman Doll

This is a repost from my other blog..Lalaine's World. Since this is a 'blessing' blog. I'd like to put some of the entries here.

It's another answered prayer for our Li'l girl! It's just amazing how God answers the kids' prayers and their heart's desires.

A few months ago, Tricia's Granny gave her a wonderwoman costume together with the Justice League DVD ( to acquaint her with wonderwoman, whom she's never heard of before). Since then she's been a fan of her to the point of asking me to buy a Wonderwoman Barbie Doll for her. This is how our conversation went that particular night.

Tricia: Amma, can you buy a Wonderwoman Barbie for me, please.

Me: There's no wonderwoman Barbie, Trish. Barbie only has Princesses. Even if they have it'll be very expensive.

Tricia: I'll pray that there will be a wonderwoman Barbie!

And she prayed. I didn't really take this incident seriously since as far as I know, Barbie/Mattel doesn't produce DC Comic characters.

Then last Friday, we went to the Duty Free Shop in Malaysia...then Lo and Behold! I saw a Wonderwoman Barbie!!?? It was standing there all alone amidst all the Barbie Princesses. I couldn't believe my eyes. Then, I saw the price. It was quite expensive. So, I secretly asked my Hubby to see the doll. He also got excited. THen I asked him if we're going to buy it for her or not since it was not part of the budget. Then we remembered that Tricia had this piggy bank where she faithfully puts in all the coins for her 'to have money to go to the Philippines' (that's according to her). She just have almost the exact amount in there. So, there goes Tricia's first Barbie Doll from her own 'money box'. So my Hubby secretly bought the doll.

Then when we went inside the car, we asked her to thank God for her surprise. Her eyes were already wide, when we mentioned the word 'surprise' but her eyes became bigger when we showed her the Wonderwoman Barbie. She was speechless for awhile. She was so happy and kept thanking us and prayed again to thank God. So, we told her that God answered her prayer which she prayed a long time ago. And I also told her that I didn't know there's a WOnderwoman Barbie. Then you know what she said? "God made the Wonderwoman Barbie for me AMma!". And I think that's exactly what He just did to answer a Li'l girls prayer.
