My husband had been travelling quite a bit lately. After a 6 days trip to Malaysia, he returned at 9+ pm and had to get ready to pack for his next trip to Taiwan/HK leaving the next morning at 4+
Daniel was not aware that daddy will be leaving so soon and asked for him. He mentioned he doesn't want papa to travel anymore because he'll have more 'chops' in his passport compared to his. Other than that, life moves on for him. The other kids seems to be acting up quite a bit this time round especially the Sunday when he left for Taiwan. I know Dads play an important role in the lives of the kids. It makes me wonder what it will be like if he needs to be base outside Singapore next year. It is going to be a journey of FAITH!
Cannot believe my first baby is turning 18 soon....She is in the midst of prelim and is in no mood to party. The family celebrated together in a restaurant of her choice in early August. It was really fun to enjoy the good food especially the dessert and the live music performance that evening.
Ting is such a darling sister. She brought a brochure from some donut place for the birthday girl to choose 12 flavors. She is delighted and all at home gets to enjoy it too! Thank you so much,Thoughtful Ting!
Been busy reading books on prayer. Very challenging to cultivate a more vibrant prayer life. Glad to be involved with a parent from kid's school to pray. Making some headway to recruit others to pray.
Personally, my faith had been challenged lately. My mum was discovered to have 2 spots on her kidney after some annual checkup. She is feeling down and anxious. As I prayed for her, I felt led to ask God for a miracle. I had prayed for my pa's salvation for ages! Honestly quite discouraged. Is God in His mercy going to reveal Himself to my pa thru mummy's situation? I had been asking God to show pa the reality of His existence....Pray with me?

Recently, I met a lady while waiting to pick Daniel back from Kindergarten. She too has a son in Sec 1, same school as Davy. As she had been actively involved in the parent support group of the school, she felt the burden to do something meaningful.
After praying about this, I sense God's leading to form a prayer ministry among the parents. It had since been a whirlwind of ideas! God provided Ting to help with setting up a blog for our Partnering Through Prayer ministry. You can visit at ptprayer.blogspot.com
Ting is very busy but somehow she is available at the time that I needed her most. Thanks Ting, I really appreciate you!
This ministry is not launched officially. We are still waiting for an appointment with the relevant authorities although we had started meeting to pray for the school. Thus far the people she shared this prayer ministry with welcomes the idea. Some even echoed ideas that we discussed previously. There is even an invitation for us to join the teachers to pray in the exam hall for the 'O' and 'N' level. We are really excited to be involved and anticipate God's work in our midst!
