How it all begun! That Unquenchable Passion!
Passion is often referred to as intense emotions reflecting a strong desire or limitless enthusiasm.
It wasn’t until a few years ago around 2010 when my second son who is very insightful and observant asked me, “Mom, don’t you ever get tired of teaching Childbirth Class over and over again?” My answer to him was an immediate obvious reply, “Why no!” I hadn’t thought about it really until he asked and that question made me ponder. It was like a light bulb moment! It wasn’t until then that I realised the meaning of passion! It was the driving force that have made me teach over and over the same topic through the years. I recall actually feeling it as it flooded my whole being with joy and purpose. At that time, I hadn’t understood what it was.
Let me share with you that experience. I so wanted to have a second child. I prayed so hard for a son after the birth of my daughter. In 1985 I had a miscarriage after 8 weeks & that devastated me! I was so anxious and restless. I remember our pastor, Peter Tan-Chi telling me, you prayed for it so leave it at the feet of Jesus and let Him answer it at His own time. Meanwhile don’t worry and don’t stressed, just go about your normal days. So I decided to do as he said and strengthened my wavering faith. At that time I was a very young Christian and my thirst to know Jesus was insatiable. I focused in going to bible studies and on reading my bible to get know more of Him.
One evening after being intimate with my husband, I remember praying with certainty, “Thank you Lord for this baby”. As soon as I uttered that prayer in my heart, I remember thinking, where did that prayer come from, why did I assume that? Then I realised it was my spirit growning one with the Lord. Then I heard a still soft mighty voice in my ear or was it in my head? He said, “You have been delighting in me, why will I not give you the desires of your heart?” There was a short pause the He continued to say, “It will be a boy.” The joy that filled my heart was indescribable. I had a personal encounter with God! The creator of the universe! My Abba Father! I took His word & believed it in my heart. I didn’t even go for any pregnancy test. I thought, if that was indeed an encounter with the Lord, then I will just take His word for it and it will be done. True enough my belly grew to full term!
