A year of greater glory!

This year is especially trying for me! It stretches me emotionally , psychologically and physically. Val and ven were studying two different sessions. I was trying to juggle with three schedules, chauffeuring, teaching, coaching , disciplining three totally different personalities plus endless mundane chores. Val was more emotional this year, due to her escalating stress in school. Gab was testing his boundaries. Ven's Primary 1 'a learning curve is very different from Val. So I had to adjust my style of teaching her. Then, her hormone deficiency finally broke my last straw.  I broke down.... I questioned my ability to parent my kids, I felt so helpless, so defeated, so discouraged. I wanted to quit this 'job'! I learn to fight my battles on my knees one day at a time.  I was exceedingly overwhelmed. I know I needed more divine wisdom, strength, joy and love. 

Today, I see Val's achievement, I'm so humbled and utterly amazed! Indeed He is very faithful and He always exceeds what we ask for.   I see God's footprints in those periods when I just cried out to Him.  All is worth it!!! Amen!! Indeed this year 2014 is a year of greater glory!!!! 

James 1:2-5New International Version (NIV)

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God,who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
