Praise God !! Hallelujah !!2nd to 9th October 2008 is indeed a memorable time in my life. It was really a breakthrough time for me:

1. Going for a trip without family so far away
2. Having to renew my passport/exchange currency on my own
3. Preparing testimonies/devotional material (I hadn't even written a greeting card/message for umpteen years)
4. Walking in the hot sun at mid-day without an umbrella (for that matter, to go out in the middle of the hot day is rather unthinkable in Malaysia for me)
5. Praying so fervently privately or publicly, and seeing people slain under the power of God right in front of us.
6. Seeing so many joy and enthusiasm in people who are so impoverished and yet uncomplaining
7. Experiencing God's presence and power, wanting more
8. Willing to forego shopping/rest to do ministry
9. Coming home with an emptier luggage bag instead of being overloaded (it's hard to understand, but indeed a big breakthrough for me personally)
10. Given me a greater appreciation of all the blessings we are showered with (food, clothing, shelter, etc.)
