Little Warrior of Faith

Hoooo Ray! Gracia is almost overcoming her fear of going to school on her own!!!!



For the past 3 months, gracia has been fighting the fear of going to school on her own . Almost every time before she goes to school, the fear of school overwhelms her so much that she'll run to the toilet to VOMIT all the food she had and cried lots before she enters her class!


Her mummy and daddy have been praying for her and she surprised us one night during one of our routine night prayer season where we take turns to pray for each other ...



In a meek but very serious tone she asked, "Daddy, can you pray for Gracia that Gracia will go to school myself?"



This was her REAL need and her first specific prayer request. We prayed... for many nights .


Then we also began to encourage her to make her faith declaration. When we mention SCHOOL, we encouraged her to exclaim , "Ok , PRAISE THE LORD!" We rehearsed this often and she would always exclaim with hands raised . She still struggled for some time and vomitted everyday before school. Guess this was really a Big mountain for her.




But this little girl never gave up , she BELIEVED and was still fighting in faith coz she REMINDS us to pray for her every night and praticed her faith declaration often!


INdeed, Praise the Lord! This Thursday, she was all smiles for the first time when she was preparing to go School. She knew that she had overcome and achieved something...


Just look at the face of victory , my little WARRIOR of FAITH!



I did it!!!!!!
