My Michan Petite Blog
I started this blog in May 2008 to record God’s presence in my life. I often said to God, “Father God, though I don’t know who exactly my readers are, I’ll keep writing to testify Your goodness. If my testimonies can touch any person’s heart, I’ll be contented.” Later, after hearing the story of a friend who had met her future husband at a shopping mall, I also wished that I would meet my future husband through my blog since I liked writing.
MLM And EFC Classes By MLC
I had been attending the Million Leaders Mandate and Externally Focused Church classes in Melaka since the last quarter of 2008. The classes are conducted by RM Rajoo and Piek See from Marketplace Leadership Centre who travel from Petaling Jaya twice a month. On 23th and 24th April 2010, I went to the EFC Leadership Summit in Penang as a participant.
BOTM Classes
Richard launched the New Eve curriculum for women in Melaka in May 2010. The first part was Battlefield Of The Mind. One month later was Authentic Manhood for men in a different time slot. He sometimes said in our women’s class, “Those who are single must get your future husband from the men’s class.” I took this advice very seriously though I couldn’t identify any potential man for me—The younger ones were too young for me while the older ones were all married.
An Older Woman’s Counsel
I joined a church camp in June 2010. A sister invited me to her room for fellowship. At 69 years old, she was still single. She shared with me love stories of her younger days and how Jesus had spoken to her through the Scriptures that He would be her only Husband. I said to her, “Maybe God wants me to be single too.” She looked at me and said, “I feel that you’ll get married.” Then she prayed for me and taught me to start praying for my future life partner so that I would recognize him when he appeared, just as John the Baptist had recognized Jesus when He came to him.
Projek Harap
Richard and Piek See shared with us the God-given vision Projek Harap to give preschool education to those in need. As the first centre was started in Melaka, I helped to promote the project by blogging about their events.
His First Comment In My Blog
On 9th January 2011, he dropped his first comment in one of my blog entries about Projek Harap. I was glad that a reader had revealed himself to tell me that he enjoyed reading my blog updates and wanted to connect with me. What surprised me more was that this person was the Authentic Manhood Kuala Lumpur/Petaling Jaya coordinator, which means from the men’s class. I typed a simple reply to thank him.
FaceBook Friends
A week later, he sent me a request to add me in FaceBook and I accepted.
Our First Exchange Of Emails
Very soon, he sent me a first greeting email. I replied with joy in my heart.
Prophecies Of My Future Life Partner
During a church service in end January 2011, I went to the altar with two questions to ask God in my heart. The second one was “Do You want me to remain single forever? If yes, then I’ll just obey and set my mind to focus on my mission for the rest of my life.” A sister laid hands on me and said the answer to my first question. Then she continued to pray, “Don’t look at your left. Don’t look at your right. Just look at Jesus. The Lord will bring a life partner to you.” I was amazed.
Our Second Exchange Of Emails
The following week, I received a second email from him sharing with me his experience of coming to know Christ through MLC. I replied again. I was curious to find out more about him. So I surfed FaceBook and realized that we shared a lot of common interests especially reading, writing, travelling and learning languages.
SMS And Phone Calls
I was back to my hometown Batu Pahat for the Chinese New Year break. He began to contact me by SMS, later followed by phone calls. I enjoyed our conversations very much because of our similar personality, the interesting questions he asked and the topics on the same teaching from MLC we had. I learned that he had also attended the EFC Leadership Summit in 2010 but I couldn’t recall having seen him there and then. He expressed his desire to visit me in Melaka after Chinese New Year.
His Visit To Me In Melaka
On 19th February 2011, he drove to Melaka to meet up with me in person for the first time. I spent the day with him in town being his tour guide. I liked his friendly demeanour.
His Confession Of Love And My Positive Response
He kept in touch with me by phone. I grew fonder of this interesting and humourous guy who took the initiative to progressively confess his love for me. As a result I always responded to him positively without hesitation.
Fulfillment Of The Prophecy And Of My Dream
God gave me the confirmation that he was the one He had brought to me. And My blog had touched the heart of this real man from the men’s class.
Now you should know who he is. We just got married on 31st March 2012.
