Praise God

Today we had an evaluation after sunday school. For all those who went for mission trip. Ok basically, there was a bit of sharing on what we did and how we felt after certain events.

And then it came to the topic on the typhoon. Ok just to let those who don't know. On the 8th Dec, a friday, there were typhoon and terrorists warnings. So ya. Parents started to panic and teachers were trying their best to get us out of Cebu in case of anything. And at that point of time when all of us were informed, we learnt that the typhoon was coming our way.

So it came as a shock to most of us. Some started fearing the worst. But it was at that point of time when you can actually see everyone at their best behavior. Everyone was given instructions to pack a overnight bag in case we had to run and pack everything, ready to go. Our overnight bag had clothes and toiletries la. We placed all our food supplies altogether. (that wasn't much la. Not say we had a lot of food there). We also started filling up all the water bottles we had. The 6 litres ones and every other water bottle we had.

But even though there was a pinch of fear in everyone. Basically we were still quite optimistic about the whole thing. Almost everyone was wearing their new caps and packed in their new clothes because they feared they would never get to wear it again. Like yeah, that's kinda retarded la. So ya. To tell you the truth, we weren't that scared.

But today is when I discovered that over at the Luoyuan side, they were panicking for us. Ok a few of them told me before la. But today it was like enforced. And it's kind of nice to know that even over there, there were people caring for us. Worried for us.

And like what someone shared(I shall not say who), there's really power in prayer. With all the prayers from three countries. The typhoon actually 'u-turned' just as it came closer and closer to us.

God really cares for us. And I must say I'm really grateful for that. Even though I really wanted to see the typhoon. It's also very nice to know that God works in such ways. To make sure that no matter what, we ALL return in one piece..

Thank God.

ps: If you want to know the story on how we got the tickets, just ask me. Cos it's really a very nice story. Yeah.
