I guess by now you know what I am going to post!!!!!!
Yup! The relationship between I and my caretaker is getting stronger and closer!!!! We are now chatting everyday, these past 2 days we have chatted for an hour. I realized that she is indeed a very lonely woman, because she alienated her relatives...and now, her need for companionship is fulfilled through me...!
Just a second ago, I was dressing up in front of the living room mirror, and she said, "Come on, you're already handsome, no need to fix" in her usual shouting mode!
IT IS AMAZING, SHE ASKED ME MINUTES AGO ---what is your religion?? And of course that was my cue. I tried to invite her to my church... but she said, "i don't like to go there.." Anyway, I said, "But i will give you a treat, Nana.."
"No.", she said. So I said, "But you used to go to this catholic church right? Let me accompany you there this SUNDAY."
"If Michael gets to stay on Sunday..." she retorted.
"Then I will request Michael to stay on Sunday." (which I was surprised to say, coz I invited Michael to go to church on Sunday and he said yes, IF HE IS NOT GOING TO HIS FRIEND'S HOUSE).
Nana, our caretaker, even said, "you know what, the owner of this house, Madame Helen, always got jealous of me whenever the boarder gets close to me..." What does she mean by that, talking with me? tHAT MEANS, she now treats me as a close FRIEND!!!??
Then she said, "you sing very well."
"Thank you, nana. What's your favorite song, anyway?"
And she said, "Bridge over troubled water."
So I kinda sing that sometimes. (I don't think that's her real favorite song though.., coz she's not reacting that much).
Then to close our long chat, I said, "Nana, your nephew Michael is very proud of you."
"WHAT!!!"
"Yes, in fact, when I first came to this house, he said that you.."
"That i am always angry?"
"That you are a very neat person and very industrious"...
Then, when Nana was gone, I told Michael "I already built you up in her eyes. Pls, do team up with me. Talk to her. Be sweet to her!"
After 2 days of talking with my friend Michael, he finally said, "ok ok I'll think about it."
Lord, thank you very much because this is the start of their good relationship!
With the defenses of Michael and the head of the house (Nana) broken, Simon and Mary (her neice) came with me in a prayer meeting in church. Also, thank God that He enables me to ACT EVEN MORE ASSERTIVELY concerning my, lo and behold, busy roommate, Dexter, a doctor specializing in ophthalmology.
I decided to post Bible verses concerning seeking God first and blessings will come into your life near his books, and near Nana's table. As expected, Nana folded the papers away, and Dexter moved the other verse away from his books. BUT I THINK THEY MUST HAVE READ THEM ANYHOW, coz blessings are attractive. I used these verses so they will be attracted, not yet those verses that say being sinful leads to condemnation. Not yet, anyway.
So thank you very much for all your prayers and support, Star, Whirlwind, Boanerges, especially Bookworm and the others. In all of this saga, GOD DESERVES THE CREDIT. IT IS HE WHO HAS ALWAYS MOVED IN THIS HOUSE.
here are my next plans: to concentrate on my roommate dexter, and still Nana. I think Michael and Simon would be easier to reach out now, praises to Jesus! Mary left the house, though
....
God bless!
