when thunders roar

sometimes we need a typhoon to get us to pray
sometimes we need a typhoon to make us realise we care alot for our friends
sometimes we need a typhoon to make us admit we love our family members

there was the TEENS sharing today abt their various trips in dec
my brother was scheduled to share and he was preparing it the entire week
and he REFUSED to allow any of us to look at the script

many of the people who shared talked abt the typhoon that happened
from the cebu team teens, to the teachers, to the china team
all of them spoke of God's goodness and power
indeed it was a miracle
19 seats on a plane available last minute on an overbooked flight
thank God for paving the way

it was very moving hearing their testimonies
granted most were staring at their scripts only but they are still young
the experience taught them that God indeed listens to prayers
and for a bunch of city kids who never prayed for their/their friends' lives before
it definitely was a first time i think
as uncle yehudi said: you could hear the tears while they pleaded with God

my brother was the last to go up to speak
i was very nearly tired of waiting for it
but i think it was a very honest piece from him
sometimes im really amazed at what he is capable of
i mean..he is always still that childish, naughty little boy to me

so sometimes we really do need a typhoon huh

and on a totally unrelated note
i got a class tee from a class i taught in PL!
from 1b1 - the form class that i grew to like in the end
thanks a lot girls:)
the shirt is a tad big but i'll manage with it
