robbed but taught (16/12/08)

the other day me and my eldest sis which fyi name is sarah, went to times square for shopping.... when we got back we discovered the gate was locked... which was pretty unusual... and when we called mum to open the door, I could sense a trembling tone in it..
then mum said that a robber came juz now 0.O
I was well shocked obviously 0.O never expected that... but gotta admit been bein a lill complacent in prayer after college ended

after settling down, the story unravels as mama spoke:
when mum, kakak, aunt and cousin came back from carrefour subang the other day, they were actually being followed. kakak carried stuff to the back while mum went to the back of the kitchen too to sit down as usual... wat was unexpected was that aunt will actually help carry groceries to the back of the kitchen as well! so the doors were left wide open unattended!

when my aunt came to the back of the kitchen mum was worried and by the time she went to the front a man came with a parang! chopper btw in case u tak paham melayu! and yeah when mum scream and asked wat he want he raised the parang and told her to hush..
he demanded the purse while bursting the master bedroom door open... btw the master bedroom was locked by the landlord... we rent the place yeah we're not local... so anyway he force mum and kakak to get into a room..... while he searched for valuables.
he took mum's handbag with all the money in it... bad news was dad juz left the day b4 so he gave mum money for us to spend and the robber took it all wuite a big sum :'(

aunt and nephew hid at the back in the kitchen....
but wat touched me so much that day was the words of my kakak who said : it's ok if the robber kill me and auntie (my mum) coz we have salvation but at least don't hurt aunt and her son coz they have not received jesus christ as their personal lord and saviour....
gosh i melted at that very point at her true love that was so deep and meaningful

anyway we've moved from ss14 now as coz the robber took quite a large sum of cash he might return... but wat we believe is that perhaps got has a plan that this took place so mum would go back to labuan to be with daddy...

initially i thought of aborting plans of goin to xyz camp and so on coz of the moving house and so on which was so complicated and strenuous but then again sis said no coz if u do ur letting the devil achieve his purpose so i though yeah! i'm gonna go! ntg gonna stand between me and my saviour :) (update on the camp another day)
but in watever that happens father lord we know and trust with our whole heart that u have the best plan laid out for us plans to prosper us ahead! and in watever circumstances father we praise u! And all glory go to you that no one was harmed :) i love u lord!

owh and people would be pretty awesome if u could pray for my family safety :)
thanks lots of huggies and kisses =)
