spirit of contentment

I lost the ealier post. gotta write it again....to sum up. i want to rejoice and celebrate my son's completion of exam.

No matter what grades, I must encourage him to develop good attitudes towards life and studies. I had refused to reward him with yoyo. instead he traded for a movie with the 3 of us. He recollected the one time I went with him for pizza. such a sweet boy.

green pasture

Learning to be content is easy now. Coz someone told me that if I water my garden everyday, it will be green. So I need not look over the other side and hoping for it to happen.

I had been reading and enjoy learning more about myself and God. Half my time, mothering, and the other half, enjoying life. What could I ask for....I'm thankful to my great mentor, my supportive mum, my cute sister, my patient husband, my annoying children, my faithful friends...all for my pleassure ... to learn and love life.

So what's the purpose of life....worship. How??....cleaning the table, mopping the floor,repeating instructions and etc...in the name of being a servant. Am I, Will I be always humble...I struggle. yet, I know my struggle is not a losing battle. I am sure to win.

come to the rat race.....Jere's chinese oral is next week. I tot of a brilliant idea to get im to memorise the 2 tang shi that will be tested. Ha!Ha! after school, if he dun memorise, he simply can't watch any TV programmes!!!!wicked...very wicked....but it works!!!2 nights, and he is almost quite a polished tang shi scholar...i pray lah. well...the rest is up to him. still gota get im to memorise 2 more picture conversation passages else, he is sure dumbstruck! God will help us.

hello

since last week, i had been very free...had not felt so rested for such a long time. I really praise God and thank God for this break. I enjoyed myself, sitting on my sofa, reading my book and breaking fast at home. It had been wonderful.

before that could happen, I had felt miserable because i was retrenched. one of my student was transferred to korean school and had no time for tuition, while another was unhappy with me. I felt unwanted, and for a while useless....then again...I fell into mild depression, i can;t sleep, very annoyed with almost everything and everyone. that lasted for about 2-3 days. in the midst of my praying and reading...i knew that i must ride the tide else i will sink and die. I will not let it happen.. i had not start living in the first place. I mean living the way I wanted. now, staying at home is what I want, but again... i struggle with motherhood. I read an article which cheered me, it is about loving chldren and family but hating motherhood. the author is none other than a mum. anyway, the story directed me to focus...my enemy is not motherhood, but rather my accusation towards myself. that means....listening to satan lor....

gota go...

finally

today was the first time I had lunch with the rest of the Tai tai. I am very happy to lunch with them as the feeling came back again....I have friends again.

Life is so exciting...God is creative...He knows what to entertain us as different point og our lives.

Just received a sms from my piano teacher that she will no longer be teaching Jere anymore...gota find a new teacher. His piano lessons had never been easy for me. Help me Lord.

Jere is back to school, he is very excited as now he has a new appointment. God is very good to him. Khloe is enjoying school....thank God.

June holidays

Last week, I met up with our matchmaker and talked about our children. I also managed to meet up with ex colleagues and Ming Ying. Pretty pleased with how I had spent my time. Also, I had been training Jere on skipping and badminton. Quite alright, gotta learn to be encouraging.

its been a long time

hmm...I had been unwell for a while now. Got upset when my body can't seemed to recover...Still clinging to His word....that He is the healer.

Term 2 week 2

I am now learning and teaching my children to thank God for our salvation daily. Also to praise God for who he is... His work on the cross.

I have been reading a book about SEX! Whether one believes he sins or not, he/she will not change the fact that the sun will still shine and the work completed at the cross. How many times, you have heard people turning away from the church, or relationship simply coz they had grown tired or offended in some way. Like it or not, we will have to stand before God to be judged. So continue to lead a "carefree" life...and see how Satan will leave u in the lurch!

I write these because, I had witnessed so many friends' life ruined. They had exchanged short term gains for eternal future/hope!

So happy to hear that Lizhen will be in London till 14 June! Lusting....
