I decided to go to the mall's food court to kill the hours, just stay there & watch people come & go. The place was quite crowded, but I easily got a seat. I've been sitting there for maybe 15 minutes when a lady; maybe in her mid thirties approach me in Pasa-Thai, if she can sit on the vacant seat in front of me. I didn't understand her at first then she replied in English. I was like "OK, that's seat is vacant."
I smile at her & give the assurance that "I won't bite." haha! She then start to ask me "Are you a Filipino?"
I replied "Yes."
"Christian?"
"Yeah.,"
"Oh, Praise God!", she exclaimed. "I was about to sit with that man, but there's something pushing me to sit here."
We had a very nice conversation which uplifted my soul.
She was a Buddhist 4 years ago, almost 90% of the Thai's are. She told me the story of her salvation.
She's the only one in her house because her husband has no time for her & they were not in good condition at that time. It was really a terrible attack, the pain she felt was more than giving birth. She knows she'll gonna die at that moment. Nothing to call to, she was so desperate. Then out of nowhere, from the deepest part of her brain it says: Why not call God?., Jesus Christ! He can save you.
In a minute, she was praying "If you're true, not fiction, proved to me., Save me! Don't let me die! help me."
& it takes about a minute when the pain gets worse., then in a blink of an eye! She felt strange, she felt she' a new being. Nothing. She felt nothing but renewed & freed from the pain. Then afterwards, she spoke in the language she never knew. She was baptized by the Holy Spirit!
Truly, it's amazing how God moved in her life, how He showed miracle & proved to her that He is true. He transformed her into a new creation
Her life after that was not easy. Her family condemned her, many challenges & struggles had gone her way. But yeah, God had never leave her. From Buddhism to Christianity. Not that easy!
But God "Twist her Faith".
