Hey everyone, despite the fact that I'm not physically in Malaysia, remember that you guys are close to my heart. Recently, a lot of "unfortunate" things has been happening to someone dear to me - my cousin. He has been through a lot for someone his age (he is my age) and even more so recently. He used to go to church and serve in ministries but has backslidden after leaving school due to a bad experience that he had in his church.
I believe that the things that have been happening to him are not of coincidence but I think that God is tugging on his heartstrings and reminding him that he cannot live his life without God's help. The situations that he has been in recently cannot be rectified without some supernatural help from God. So I'm guessing that he needs to acknowledge that he needs God back in his life.
A couple of days ago, I managed to chat with him online and he finally admitted to me that he thinks that God is only the one who is able to help him get through this stage in his life. That was a miracle in itself because for the past few months, I've been trying to tell him that but he had always brushed it aside. Also, I've been praying for him frequently this past few weeks and I believe that it's because of that that he finally decided to take that small step in faith.
I finally convinced him that he needed to start small by coming to CG(this CG!) and he was supposed to come on Wednesday but he couldn't make it because apparently, some people came looking for him (to cause trouble) and he had to leave his house for his grandma's place. That's how much trouble he is in. So, my request is that you all join me in committing to pray for him daily.
Please pray for his safety, that he and his loved ones will not come to any harm. Also, pray that God will continue to move him in his heart so that he will realize day by day that he needs no one else but God. And pray that he will take that step of faith and return to God; by attending CG regularly and eventually church. He is very dear to me and by joining me in praying for him, you are doing me a huge favor as well. Thanks so much guys. And if any of you have a word from God specifically for him or for me, feel free to e-mail me at amanda.lml@gmail.com

Hey JT,
Surprisingly although I've not met you yet, I do know who you are! Hahaha! Thank you very much for joining me in prayer for him. :)

Amanda, thanks for sharing with us your heart concerns. Am praying for your cuzzie. You know JT? Small world! Or maybe Klang is really a place where everybody knows your name :P
Thanks CC, I really appreciate it. Haha, I know JT from Hannah's blog amongst other places. So reading about someone gives you an inkling on how the person would be like. JT, I'm pretty sure you fit well into the "siao gang" at CG. XD
Thanks for the info manda , but can ya pass me yer cousins contacts?
Eh, who is this lalatair? >_<
lalatair, are u a sotong or a troll?
Hey Amanda.
Didn't know that you've known me. Hoping that I can see you one day. I had a picture of me in one of the article; What happened when you had Roti Ayam?
Hahah! You can ask them how siao I can be. Have a nice day ahead ya.
Jia Thiam
lalatair , lalat - air . me la jou.
Hey JT, I don't doubt your capabilities of being siao. As soon as you attend CG, it will rub off on you somehow. I'll be coming back at the end of the year for winter break so I'm pretty sure I'll meet you then.
Jou, =.=" Lalatair...I'm pretty sure there are better names out there. I don't know if I should give you my cuzzie's contact. He might find talking to a complete stranger odd. So maybe when he attends CG, you can ask him for it. I think that way would be better. And, please continue to pray for him. Thanks!
roger manda , but i prefer lalat air coz ill be flying too much later . for example KL-PEN-KL-Kuching-KL-Kuantan-KL in a day .
Haha, alright Mr. Lalatair! Stay safe and remember to have fun on the job. :)
