Falling in love- lust of the eyes

Seems like I cannot get scrapbooking off my mind. Oh no! But my lord says thatI will not have the time to do it! True lah.

Yesterday nite, I went back to pack and had not packed all my books in the studyroom. Yet the record holds 14 boxes! Later, I will go back and pack again. MIL will help me with the children.

Actually absence really makes the heart fonder. Each time when my hubby is away, I will miss him alot. I will think of him and wonder when he will return. Also I really salute those mums who have "travelling" husbands. Quite a feat to have their husbands often outstation. I truly respect these lot of mum. Of course one such mum is Joyce! I happened to meet her at eastpoint shopping. Her "days" are different from mine. I just wonder how did she manage when her hubby was flying most of the time? Anyway, I would like to use all my time carefully. It was precious to hear the sweet voice over the phone last nite. And I eager await his call tonite. I know he knows how I feel. It is not the fact that he is not around to HELP that matters...it is the warm and comfort to know that Jeff is always looking out for me...caring and wanting to know how was my day like that makes me ......aiyah...only I know how he feels about me that matters. That's why I chose him. And that's why he chose me to be his wife. Amazing! We had known one another for almost a decade now. Yes, we are married for half a decade now!

Hack lah!

All the tiles are almost hacked off now. So I am praying that we can shift in by late feb.

"God doesn't choose your mate for you. While He may have in HIS mind a best partner for your life, in the final analysis, it is YOUR decision. Prov 18:22 "He who FINDS a wife finds a good thing..."God will guide, lead and direct you."
(Havest Times pg. 20)

But before HE can do that, I think we need to be in a right relationship with God, Jesus and Holy Spirit. Otherwise, how can the Lord guide and lead if you do not know HIm in the first place?

So wives, wives-to be...work our relationship with the LOrd.

Overreacting

Yesterday I was reminded that one esp. SAHM should abstain from this behaviour. It was an encouraging or rather comforting session last night with my ladies. We shared on parenting joys and woes, as a SAHM and a working mum.

Our God is great, he is faithful and just and will forgive us. His grace abounds in our lives as we perseve in seeking Him and doing the will of our abba father.

Oh! I learnt that overreacting is a word used to describe me pretty well. And should I hear it often, I think I should progress to be less reactive towards my children's behaviour. To train our children to be swift to obey is another art lesson that I should take daily. Again, my training for this blog thingy requires me to take time away from princess and to log in daily till I'm quite proficient in it. Meanwhile, princess is a couch now.... So training children to listen is the same old saying " practise make perfect." Interestingly, even adults are not swift to obey so how can children do that? Remembering that we are first generation christians...so we will raise a GODLY GENERATION after us! Awesome. So like it or not, brace ourselves and get to task....be swift to listen to our master...our lord.

Repent- Joel


This morning I had the peace and encounter with my Lord. He spoke to me in his book of Joel. It calls for repentence and declaration of fast for blessing to flow.

I am assured of His love. As a SAHM, I am often faced with the unpleasant task of disciplining my children. That's the tough part of home ministry- training. I learn that training requires great amount of patience and love. Bottom line is my worship with God. Am I deepening my roots in HIM? only He is the source of living water, one that truly satisfy.

Later, we will be collecting keys fro our seller!Hooray!

Just take note.

Where is the dumb girl who turns on a deaf ear to a blind date?

Good Morning!


This morning jere had left for school. He did not tell me that he needs to bring his readers and I know that he will be "punished" for not getting his flashcards cut out!

Yesterday, I am reminded as SAHM, I should be concern more on his spiritual aspect not so much of academic. However, it seems like I am weighed down by jereboy's chinese and blah blah blah....I am not worried for his spiritual life as I see that he does know who is God and had demonstrated his understanding. What I have not seen this far is his demonstration of love for Him. Through his worship, I saw change...but does God see as I see? God weighs a man's heart. How can I weigh my son's heart? So through faith will I serve, in quietness and confidence will be my strength....

Then again, I was reminded that SAHM is a vey busy ministry and Pastor enjoyed herself in those decade that she spent with her children. Do I say this now? Will I say it again when I am half a century old? Silly! Of course I do. Or else why should I make such a decision! You may wonder...

First day of school

Today is the first day of school for Jereboy. After he put on his new uniform, I gave him milk and then off to school. So here am I back to routine in eastpoint, playing with princess and trying to get some new things done up.

Well... I think I am going to start with giving Jereboy 50cent a day and see how much he can save! Quite a feat for me as I am trying to be consistent in the midst of the shift.

Also...will be getting a swimming costume and start swimming since everyday I will be here! Of course main reason is to stay fit...haven;t been exercising for a long long time! Wish me fit!
