prayer for Benedict.
1:45 am
Oh Lord, surely, surely Your hand is with me wherever I go. Surely Lord You have answered my prayer of bringing Your presence into my work place. I know Lord, nothing is by coincidence. And the passion You've put in my heart for this soul is not just for fun. You are a merciful God, just and full of love. So Lord, hear my cry, and touch this soul, change this soul, just as you have done for mine. And as i take this step of faith towards the path You've paved for me, Holy Spirit, come and open up his heart and begin Your work in his life. And let Your words speak through me, for I alone can do nothing. I lift this assignment up to You oh Lord. Work alongside with me, for i need Your guidance. It seems impossible, with less than 3 days left...but i know, all things are possible with You...
A prayer for Benedict, my Subway colleage. He is handicapped in his right leg and goes to a special school for "low IQ ppl". I hate that word...IQ...telling ppl they are stupid. Measuring the smartness of a person. And i hate it that the education system tells them that he have low IQ and is not bright. And im angry, yet sad, that it has been drilled into Benedict that he is stupid and has a low IQ. Its saddening, to hear all these from him, and i could see that it hurts him too. His school stopped having PSLE when he was primary 5, and started another programme that trains them to enter working life. Imagine his horror! So he does not have a PSLE cert. And he is not allowed to enter secondary school. And he is angry and lost because he doesnt know where to go after he graduates next year...and so will work in subway until goodness knows when...he wants to study...but no school will accept him...i think my father might be able to help. i sure hope so...
I'm rather glad that we have became friends, and not just colleages. I guess my curiousity proved a good cause once again. I've never really talked or got to know ppl who were born handicapped before. And because we take the same bus home, i had opportunities to talk to him. And i think i asked alot. He had alot to share himself. I'm gonna invite him to come to church the next time he works the same shift again. Pls, if you're reading this, pray for him...and me too...
