Initially, just like any normal CP block blessing, I would make my way down to Blk 958 for the briefing together with my sisters. I didn’t expect much or what will come out of (after) the whole event. However, today was totally different from other times when I did CP block blessing. For the first time for the past 2 years of doing this, today, I had a GREAT sense of SATISFACTION and JOY and for the first time, CP work was so FUN and FRUITFUL and FULLFILLING. Why? Because, we (Charissa and I) had a third person’s help halfway through block blessing. And, the third person is none other than Gerald Ang (one of our residents’ son). And you must know that for the past 2 years, when we were doing block blessing, Gerald’s house’s door’s always WIDE OPEN. BUT, NO ONE will come to answer the door. BUT PRAISE THE LORD! By the tremendous FAVOUR from our Lord Jesus, Gerald’s mummy came to answer the door, and after chatting for a while, we found out that she is actually looking for a part-time job and is desperately in need of money. Currently, her husband is not in town, and she’s the sole bread-winner of the family. And it so happen that my cousin is working in a job search agency and I told her to leave her contacts and both Charissa and I left our contacts as well. We also managed to get her son, Gerald’s hp number. After chatting for quite sometime, I made an excuse saying that I’m quite urgent and needed to use the toilet. So she invited us in and we took the opportunity to invite her and her family to the “You Ya” concert and gave her an extra packet of cereal and the tin of biscuits. She was VERY KEEN in coming for the concert. So was Gerald. Thereafter, when Charissa and I said that we need to make our move and continue with block blessing, her son, Gerald, actually asked if he can join us in the block blessing too!
The mum (Mdm Too) was pretty hesitant about it initially-- because Gerald has got tuition tomorrow morning. But seeing his enthusiasm and willingness to join us, we promise the mum that we’ll bring him back safely at 10pm sharp. And so mum was pretty cool about it and thank us for the blessings (biscuits and cereal).
I remembered, a couple of months back, I was involved in a Children’s Church’s drama. And it was about CP block blessing. I was one of the main characters and was supposed to do block blessing with my “mum”. However, I was afraid that I might meet my friends and was afraid that I might be laughed at by my friends for doing such stuff. However, at the end of the whole drama, I DID meet my friend, BUT! She too came to join my mum and I for the block blessing and we managed to enter another resident’s house because of my friend (the one who followed my mum and I) and we even prayed for the family.Little did I know that, a couple of months back, it may only be a drama. But now! IT BECAME A REALITY! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!! HALLELUJAH! Never! Have I felt so so so satisfied and happy after CP block blessing.
The next time round when we’re doing CP block blessing, I MUST MUST MUST find an opportunity to pray for Gerald’s family too. Charissa and I wanted to do that when we send Gerald home. But mum’s in the bedroom. So we missed the chance. But that’s alright. I sincerely hope that through today’s testimony, we can help encourage the next generation and even our own church members that doing CP is DEFINITELY not a boring thing and you will never know when God decides to open doors and create such opportunities for you. Will continue to keep this family in prayer and hopefully, the family will turn up for the “You Ya” concert on the 6th September’ 08. That’s all folks! :)
