My first pay check


This is my very first paycheck! And this is from my first born who appreciates this mummy's mundane and seemingly unproductive 'work'. She has been frugal and I thought she wanted to save it for her long delayed gratified purchases. But she gave it to this complacent mummy when she threw a tantrum about her unpaid 'job'! This check is priceless ( worth so much more than $20!) and I'm very humbled by her empathetic, generous and kind gesture.  Thank you Lord for such a wonderful firstborn! Btw, which bank should I go to???

My blessings!


Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for our sins and for our sickness, our pains, our failures, our sorrows. "Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses, and He carried our pains Isaiah 53:4. " Because of your death, we have divine health, wholeness and victorious lives!! Thank you lord!!!  "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10"  lord, continue to put a hedge of protection over our family! Amen!

The best thing a father can do for their children...

 


A woman needs so little to blossom. Her love language is simple and childlike. Just take time to plant a kiss on her cheek, give a bear hug, and whisper a compliment, that will bring a skip in her steps, a grin from ear to ear, and she is all ready to conquer the world. When her emotional tank is filled, u will be awed by her extended battery life, how much she will accomplish in a day and how much grace, love and joy she can extend to the people around her!

Motherhood , this season of my life



I used to lament, how many more years do I have to give my kids. Now, I learn to take everyday as a gift.

So few years ago, I prayed earnestly to have joy in the midst of this parenting journey. During my melt downs, my self pity parties, my builtup frustration, I seek Him.  He has moulded me in such subtle ways that I hardly know I'm growing stronger, wiser and happier everyday. I learn to intentionally let go of unrealistic expectations, crazy datelines, and raw raging emotions.

Every night, I will kiss my children when they are sound asleep, then my heart will be filled with brimming gratitude. I know I dun see deserve such wonderful kids, I snap, I pout, I scream, I overreact .... My kids just simply love me nevertheless. Finally, I will instinctively utter: "Thank you Father for your immense Grace. I know I can finish this race with you and with JOY! I don't run alone! Amen! "

His favor lasts a lifetime

Psalm 30:5
New International Version - UK (NIVUK)
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
    but his favour lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
    but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Val gave gong gong a cheque!


My dear thoughtful and kind princess wrote a short note to gong gong, placed a cheque and $20, her hard earned savings inside the envelope.

Amazing grace that saves me



One thing awesome abt Jesus is I dun have to work to win His favor, His Love, His peace, because I can never reach that level of perfection. He sees my failure, my weaknesses and takes me as I am and still loves me a great deal even when I'm such a wretched. The best part is He gives me the strength, the hope, the grace, the love to become a better person, to love others and to be the best daughter that He created me to be!

Well done kiddos!! Your very first trophies!!











Yes, God I need you more and more each day!

Being there for my princess!



I teared when I saw Val so hurt over her friend's insensitive remarks. My precious princess had been holding back her tears till she saw me. Like a little girl, her big eyes welled up with brimming tears. My heart sank immediately. I wanted to take away all her hurts, pains and disappointments. Yet I know I can't, but I could hold her in my arms and comfort her.  When we reached home, I airfried her favourite hash brown to cheer her up. I'm thankful that she could share her hurts with me!
