Some Interesting Things That Happened!!!!

Days passed....
And I can't wait to tell you all what have transpired....
Michael has been listening to this CHRISTIAN RADIO STATION !!!! I even asked him, "Michael, isn't it that you were not interested in listening to those types of stuff before"...
"Yeah, but I guess I could learn from them..." Michael quipped.
Simon and the other nephews of our caretaker on the other hand, began sharing to me the things that they read in my christian book! Simon quipped, "I realized that we have to let go of the past, and stop blaming our parents, other people, and the past, even stop blaming God."
I also began singing "BREAK THEM DOWN, THE STRONGHOLDS OF THIS HOUSE". I began chanting this powerful song, praying and thanking God that He will touch the hearts of our once-dark boarding house....
BUT THE MOST POWERFUL CHANGE...???? (drum roll please..)
I couldn't believe it. Our caretaker broke down in tears awhile ago, while I and she was having a friendly conversation. She was telling stuffs about cleaning and all, but I NEVER WANTED it to be just a trite conversation, and kept asking sideway questions about her PARENTS, about her CHILDHOOD. Despite her ACTIVE EFFORTS to move the conversation into a different topic, she finally succumbed, and TOLD HER STORY...about how she was estranged from her parents because she got mad at her father for not enabling her to study. She also told of how she decided to came home to their province, only to find out her father already DIED...
I asked her, "have you forgiven him.." She said, with tears, "yes. I was at fault too".
These past few days, she was smiling, albeit a few times. She even dressed up this YELLOW DRESS, contrary to the dark black dresses she always wears. And I complimented her.
Also, MY PARENTS (BOTH 65 YEARS OLD) visited me. And my mom talked to our caretaker, sharing things like don't be angry, lest your health suffer.
I THANK GOD, BECAUSE LIGHT IS SHINING IN OUR BOARDING HOUSE. Strongholds are being broken down and torn apart in our boarding house... GOD IS POWERFUL!
