Immeasurably More Than We Imagine

17 June 2012 13th ASEAN Age Group Chess, Hue City

Ephesians 3:20-21 Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the Church and in Christ jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.

The Standard Chess tournament ended two days ago and yesterday, Ton Nu Hong An from Vietnam, stood on the winners' stand to receive her Girls Under-20 Individual Bronze Medal.

Five years ago, God did immeasurably more than all we asked or imagined when He blessed Victoria with a WFM title together with Ton Nu when they won the Girls Under-16 section of the 2007 ASEAN Age Group held in Pattaya, Thailand.

The mother's heart within me had hoped, dreamed and prayed that they would share the winners' podium for the second and last time they are eligible to compete in the AAG in the Girls Under-20 and gain their WIM title but it was not meant to be. Since the title eluded Ton Nu as well, there is still hope that, God willing, my prayer may be answered in God's time.

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.^"
