AsK

Matt 7:7
Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”

Amen! For continually 2wks during visitation, I met new IDs (Intellectually Disabled)! Weeks after weeks as spent hours in the west for visitation, I seldom meet new IDs. At one particular "season", I had the desire to want see new contacts for my area. I pray before I visit, not just for quality time @ student's place but also to “spot” new contacts.

1st particular week – I alighted from train, felt rather sleepy ... just when I spotted someone (by the way she dressed & walked) and immediately I was awake and went after her. Oh no! She boarded the bus before I can talk to her. I decided to board the bus too. A while later, I alighted with her where I get to talk to her and pass her the flyer.

2nd particular week – I pray before visitation & ASKED God for new contacts. I was on train's cabin A when I decided to change to cabin B. A “unique conversation” between a boy & a girl caught my attention and one look, “Oh my! 2 IDs!” Shortly later, the girl who is a Malay alighted and left the boy with mum who alighted @ Bbatok (me too!)
I approached and later I knew actually he is already in my contact list, just that I always cant reach the mum by phone or at home so thank God for this opportunity.

=) though both IDs didnt agreed to come church STILL, I was not discouraged as I'm just overwhelmed by the works of God's hands. “you have not because you ask not”

Few weeks later's visitation (recently) – I pray as I set off for visitation. I was crossing the roa when I saw a “potential contact” with mum & sister. For one moment, I actually hestiated to approach but just when I was reminded immediately, “You ask God for contacts right?!” Ooops!

All in all, just AWESOME! To see new IDs & having the courage to approach despite running risk of being rejected. Really must have thick-skinned & thin-heart.
But the most of all still the fact that I met IDs during visitation!
Now I need to make specific prayers ... not just to see contacts but for contacts whose heart are opened. Praise the Lord!
