It's Time!

It's been some time since I contemplate starting this blog! I never get down to doing it! Honestly I would much prefer to do the good old fashion journal writing. But I do have a heart's desire that one day, my blog will be a blessing to those who read it, as I record what God is bringing me through in this unique journey of parenting.

For the record, I do not pride myself as a seasoned mummy at all! I have a lovable 23mth old (coming to 24mths very soon!) toddler girl. She is the precious gift to my hubby, E, and I. I shall use Han to describe her in this blog. :)

I am a stay at home mummy. Blessed! I used to be an educator (that would give you some idea on why I am very passionate about education :)). Our family made a decision for me to stay home just a few months back. When Han was born, I applied for 6 months of no-pay leave after my maternity leave ended. Then I actually went back to work for 6 months. But I really could not stand being away from Han and I really want to see her grow and nurture her as a full time thing, thus the decision for me to stay home.

It's not an easy decision as our family has to make adjustments to our lifestyle as we are now a single income family. It's a journey of trusting God continuously for His provision in everything! And God is always good. We always have enough to eat, drink and wear and our account has never run dry. We are going through the reality of these verses:

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:25-34

God is teaching our family to trust in Him. And yes, NOTHING beats seeing Han grow up everyday as I stay home with her. And I thank the Lord for the support from my dear hubby.

Lord, teach me to bring Han up in the ways of You!

Ok, shall update again! Han is resting after a day of fever and mummy here is nursing a flu too. Lord heal us! Amen:)

God bless you to continue to trust in Him as you parent!
