Troubles sometimes are here

We never know when trouble does come.   How does one deal with it when it comes?   Today was a day for me to put on a reality check.
Even though I prayed to GOD about my problem, I never did totally surrender to HIM.. To get myself out of the worry and let HIM take over...erego, a tremendous headache and dizziness !!
Why did I not fully put my burden at HIS feet?   There is no need for me to be exhausted from worries.. there is GOD always willing to give me help.   After doing all my best to find the stupid paper that will help my son,  I finally, surrender myself to GOD.  And after I surrendered all, my head is not heavy anymore.   Lesson learned here:  Never take anything into my own hands but to just fully surrender.   Need to remind myself each day to trust in GOD.   GOD is merciful and Almighty.   He can do things that no one can do for us.   Psalm 126:3  The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.   Always have this in mind and we will be ok.

Hot hot day !

I guess Summer is here. As much as I dread having summer, it is inevitable that it will come.
It is so HOT ! We get lethargic in this weather. And so we missed our Sabbath walks.
I just hope that this summer will not dread on for months like Winter had. I can not live in hot weather. Wish the cold chills will come back soon.
The days are longer and nights are shorter it seems in the summer. So the sun sets later and sun comes up earlier.
I still prefer the other seasons and sorry, I really dislike summer. But in the summer there are a lot of things people can do. Schools out, vacations on. Children love to go for field trips or to the parks. They get a long break before they go back to school. More people jump into the pools to chill. I just dislike summer because it makes me all dark and tan, while the cool seasons make me fair and white. I prefer to be fair. And no spots on my face. Moreover, in the cooler days, we can put on extra clothings to keep warm, but we cannot take our clothes too much in the summer. When the heat is unbearable, we cannot take off any more clothes or we'll be taking off our skins.
Oh well, guess i just have to bear with these 3 months or so of hot weather. It is only fair for people who prefer the hot too, cuz not everyone likes the cold like i do. :)

A long long road

Life is like a long long road that we are traveling on without knowing what or where the end is. It can be tough and rough or easy and smooth. Somehow tests or trials just enhance one's life if one braces and braves them as they come along. Whatever the result depends a lot on how one looks at life or deals with it.
Recently, a very troubled trial came into our lives. Well, it isn't really that devastating but it involves the people whom we love the most. Like everything else, if it happens to others, it is easily accepted. But when it happens to our love ones, it seems the hardest. This experience will marred some of our relationships..for sure. And it may take a long time to recover. At the moment of trial, heads were filled with stresses and seemed like there was no way out. Naturally, I turned to GOD for help. Although very very stressed, I tried to put all my burdens at HIS feet. And i did feel better. I felt like crying and screaming, but that wouldn't help at all. Best was and is to leave all to GOD. Only HE can find a solution for us. The problem had been solved. Love ones have added financial stress to their already tight situation, but this is a consequence of being impulsive. Impulsive buying can cause big trouble like this one. Spending money we don't have and borrowing is a serious trouble. Just leave this at that and learn a lesson from here. We need self control. We need to learn from mistakes and never again to do it. Meanwhile, we must salvage whatever is left and move on ahead.

My children from school.

As much as i hated it, drastic measure had to be taken. I had to finally bid these children and more good bye. Working with them was loads of fun. Unfortunately, I have to think of what i really like to do and for who. The decision is made. May have to be out of job for a little while, but we know that GOD has something planned.
Hope to be able to see them sometime just for old time's sake.

Heart to heart

It was good to see a lot of people yesterday whom we have not seen for years at church.
A friend was very tearful as her son had not been going to church and on top of that, he has been into smoking and drinking.
As a mother, I can understand how she feels although, I am very thankful that my children have not gotten those habits. But I feel for her and her worries for her son.
Both of us want very much for our children to love the LORD and stay in the faith. Unfortunately, things happened and our children are out of the church. But our prayers are always with them. It is our prayer day and night that our children will return to the LORD's side. He is coming soon to take us all home to Heaven.
