We were watching Narnia on TV and I was surprised that Daniel could enjoy the show. After Aslan was killed and then came back to life, Daniel said, "hey! they copy God!" Yeap, it's God's original idea alright.
I was doing the dishes and Daniel came up to ask if I missed daddy. I told him no and he was upset because he is looking for someone who misses daddy.( He is in Japan) I quickly corrected my answer and he showed me our family photo. I guessed he had been looking at it and thought that there might be others who would need the picture too!
Jayne is doing her 'A'level exams for her DEP on Tuesday and Wednesday; group and individual presentation. Pray that she'll do well after all the sweat, time and efforts she had put in. Glad this will be out of the way and then she can start catching up on her other subjects.
JoyAnn is really bogged down by the incredible workload that the school is putting the sec 4s thru!
Pray that she'll experience God's peace in her heart.

It's been a long time since I get time to blog!
We were celebrating end of holidays and beginning of term3 on Sunday. It's really nice to spend time together as a family and see them enjoy the treats. The entire family seldom eat together because of time schedule and most of the time the TV is on. We tried on several times to turn off the TV but did not managed to make it a habit.
Daniel was looking at the pasley that decorates his plate and asked. Will this grow up to be a broccolli? It's always fun to have conversations like this. After a fantastic meal especially the rich desserts, we walked and look at the distant lights and stars in the sky before taking a bus home. I hope this is a nice way to usher in the new term.

We do want to celebrate victories in Christ. Daniel came and told me that the forbidden word did not come out today. He is happy about that and so am I. Thank God for showing him His power in our weakness!

Started a new game with Davy and Joycelyn. They are to abide by a certain code that governs their daily behavior and activities and they get to score points. At the end of the week, hopefully they would qualify to select a treat for themselves. One new twist is 'catch me do good'. If I spot them doing good, they'll get bonus. if I couldn't, then they score double. Joycelyn scored a double for clearing the table! Good for you girl! Let's see how this can help.

Daniel hurt his hand and asked to be prayed for. I delegated it to Jayne to pray with him. A few days later, he reported that God made him well and requested that I thank God with him. I really enjoy his childlike faith! Today, as he watched Davy play computer games, I heard him say 'what-the' several times. I brought it up to his attention that the word is not acceptable. During dinner, he brought it up to me that he tried but the word kept coming out. I prayed with him and asked God to help him overcome it. Later in the evening, the word came out again and I heard him murmured' Why God can't help me stop it' He is really trusting God to help him. Now I need to pray that he will be patient as he trust God. What a difficult lesson for a 6 year old!

School holidays are super tough for parents! The routine is different and kids are interested in computers and TV programmes only. But what kind of mummy will let the kids do just that? I know holidays is meant for the kids to take a break...but I hope it can be spent more meaningfully.

I want to hear from them what they hope to see and do during this break. I for one would like to see the kids have more family time. When kids are at home, they spent time with their computers and there's hardly any interaction. It's nice to see Joycelyn and Daniel setting up a corner in the bedroom and play some pretend games this morning. Need some ideas to try out soon!

I'm happy for Ting that school is turning better these days. The good news of transfer back to HMT and she sat for the exams like 2-3 weeks later and gotten a B! That was before she had any Chinese tuition!

Today, the VP announced a group of people that the school will nominate for DSA into any JC and Ting is among them. It's very tempting but Ting prefers to enter a college because she qualifies. I think that will motivate her to do her best and I'm confident she can do it with dependence on the Lord.

The exams results are coming in. I hope some will 'wake up' and realise that more can be done if one desire better results.
I asked God to encourage(add courage) us when we 'fall'. Learn from the babies; did they gave up when they fall and say I'll never take another step again? Or blame those who are teaching them for not teaching properly and caused the fall?
I asked God to enlighten(add wisdom) us. The other extreme is to remain indifferent. When things happened, our lives can still be enriched if we chose to learn from the mistakes made.
Thank God that He will never leave us nor forsake us (Heb. 13:5) Trust Him to walk with us even through the valleys in our lives!
