Though the trip was short, 2 days, I was feeling very tired because I was the driver to and fro Malacca. Jolted out of bed, still at sleepy state, we left Malacca, heading toward KL on Sunday at 6am. The rest of the passengers had the luxury of sleeping in the car while I, the driver, was struggling to keep awake most of the time.
While we were travelling along the KLIA highway, going towards kesas highway, out of the sky appeared a half view of a rainbow. The other half of the rainbow just merged into the clouds. A beautiful sight of nature, to behold on a Sunday morning. We all found it strange that the rainbow appeared in the clear blue sky because there was no sign of rain before that. Concidently, it was Easter Sunday, Jesus resurrection. God made a convenant with the sign of the rainbow to Noah after the flood that He will not destroy the earth. We all knew that God was speaking to us through that sign. Sally broke forth in prayer and thanked the Lord for His promises to us all. Same thought I had at the same moment.
We were waiting anxiously for the fulfilment of His Promises to us all that "All is Well". We undertook a 'project' in November 2007. As at todate, we have gone through this for almost 2 1/2 years now. It was a project that turned our lives inside out and outside in. An experience that caused us to go through the burning furnace with the intensity of the heat that every stone in our lives were not left unturned by God. What remain must be pure gold, a burning of relationships, friendship, life's values - ours and others. The burning caused our eyes to see more clearly, man's heart and ours too. It caused us to hang on to God for dear life as we know that God is our only Rock that we can lean on to.
In one of our constant, frequent family prayer time, God showed one of us a picture/vision of a tornado. The tornado was ferocious, twirling, sucking every single thing in its path. Some people were seen running away from it and they too were sucked into it.
In the vision, God said that He put us all into the eye of the storm/tornado, which is the safest place to be. We cannot run into the eye of the tornado ourselves because we will be sucked in and be destroyed. It is only God who can placed us there! What a revelation!
After we heard the explanation the picture/vision of the tornado, we all felt within us a sense of safety and we burst into tearful, grateful prayer to our Heavenly Father that He is full of wisdom, love and caring at our hour of pain, fears and uncertainty.
A great promise to hold on to when the going is tough and the 'tahan lasak' gets going!
