Immediate Prayer Granting/Miracle Day?!

.. and the story continues.

Despite not really getting enough sleep, I went ahead with my usual activities. Gonna have to shave some kilos off my stomach, complete my website project (not this one) and work on my Final Year Project.

Deciding to talk to God on Tuesday, I headed to college as usual.

Yep, I prayed for my favourite parking lot again, which was just opposite the exit. Yep, I was late. Yep, it was taken when I drove past that row.

So I told myself, well, it's okay. It's fine. If God doesn't grant my prayer today, it doesn't mean He didn't hear it. He'll grant it in His time for sure. Somehow, as I drove to the other end of the car park, these doubts started to arise; but I shook them off and told myself to have faith.

Indeed, faith was all it took.

I got out of my car, thinking about classes and walked to the exit. As I approached the parking lot that I asked for, I saw it - lo and behold - empty. E.M.P.T.Y.

Before I could think of what to think (lol not even to say), I caught sight of the car that had occupied that particular parking lot - which was in contact with the car opposite it!

Here, let me give you an illustration of what I'm talking about:


Pretend the image above (10 minutes in Paint program lol) is the car park, where the blue space was the parking lot that I had wanted. I had driven past the rows, and they were all occupied (yes, red and dark grey were other cars). 

Now, when I was walking to the exit, I saw the blue lot unoccupied... And then I saw this:

That black dot? That's me lol, walking to the exit.
I was like... o.o Dayummmmm... what....

Then I thought, "I should go get my car and park there!" lol... but I didn't, instead I was thinking about how on Earth it happened, and in less than 10 minutes too.

That blue car didn't crashed, it merely lightly knocked the red car (but not like I actually went over to investigate). Oh and the best part: there was absolutely NO ONE around that time too. Just me, minding my business and walking to the exit. 

And then I wondered, if God would do something like that? I thought He only moved humans to grant prayers; I didn't know He moved cars as well...

Oh, and I didn't take a picture either. Decided not to... since I didn't want to be holding proof that could lead to accusations and whatnot. And the people I had related it to, believed me; but they asked me if I truly saw what I saw hahaha. Some theories that were contributed:
  1. God really did answer my prayer, and faith led the car to go from the parking space to the other side (only God can refute it).
  2. Blue Car Owner drove the car and accidentally hit the Red Car. He/She saw me coming and decided to hide (possible, because I didn't want to find out more from investigating, but highly unlikely...)
  3. Parking lot was steep, and Blue Car Owner forgot the handbrakes. (If so, then why didn't the car move earlier? Nevermind that, why didn't the other cars do the same?)
  4. I was hallucinating. (Truly, I wasn't).
  5. Some other thing was at work. (Doubtful)
I decided to ignore it and just continue to class...

After college, I headed home and then waited to go house visiting to recite the Rosary with the BEC. While waiting to depart from my house's kitchen, I saw my neighbour making Siew Pau (steamed pork buns) by the dozens.

Something like this, but more, much much more
I wanted to eat oneeee, they looked so good. So I jokingly said, "I should ask God to give me one; He'll stretch His hand from my neighbour's house and pick up a Pau (Bun) and give it to me." But then I told myself to behave; and I shalt not be jealous of my neighbour's Paus.


I went with my mum to the first house, which we waited for our guide to lead to us the way to the host's house. While waiting, the Steam Food Truck came towards us. So Mum asked me if I wanted one. At first, I said no, but thinking that I did ask from God and knowing that she also knows what I had said earlier, I changed my mind.

So we bought some paus eat and for tomorrow. While giving us our food, the vendor told us that the main road which he came from was very jammed. In fact, he was supposed to arrive at that same neighbourhood at 7pm, but he got here one hour late because of the jam lol.

And I was surprised. I asked him again, and he repeated his account. I was amazed, because it seemed like God actually heard my prayer! And those paus were among the best I had, because it was so packed with meat and the dough layer was thinner than the normal ones.

It was amazing... except that when I tried to relate this story to my dad, he wasn't very pleased because he thought I was asking too much. Was I? I thought we could and we should ask... for anything and everything; since it is through God that everything is made possible.

If I had relied on my own strength, I would have never gotten these experiences...

And so, I should not take things to heart; even though it was hurtful.

okay gotta go. Have fun, and remember; Jesus loves you!
