A little update on God's plan

My interview went very well. I will get the decision whether I am accepted in the company within 2 weeks time. But as it turned out, I will only be starting to work in the company on February onwards if I am accepted. And so.... I guess I have to be a stay at home mum for a while.. or so I think. But that's not what God's plan.
And so, yesterday I was called by my ex-colleague (different company from the one I was interviewed with last week) and she asked me whether I will be interested to work part time with her. What a coincidence! If you believe in that. or luck!. But I am into God's work and I know it is God. Nothing of coincidence. I am blessed and it is all planned out for me.
Thank you Lord for your Grace and faithfulness. I do not deserved all these but because of Your love for me I get to know You.
Thank you Jesus. I love You more and more.

I will give more updates on this... because God's work is always wonderful.
Amen!

Year of His Restoration

That is what my church's message for this year. And I've been trying to understand and get the message for myself.
A bit of background story here... I don't like my job, I dislike it. I complained almost everyday about it. So when the church said about restoration, well.. I believe God will do something about my job. January.. nothing happened. February ... I took action by giving resignation letter to my manager. There's a discussion and made me feel I have to stay a few more months to see changes in my workplace. March, April and May still nothing happened. And so I quit. June, July passed by. I took my time sorting my mind and decided to go back to find another job. August came with a new environment of job. I thought this is it. It will be my workplace for a few more years before I decided to retire. But turn out I also felt not right. So I quit less than 3 months later. All the above was my way to get what I want. My own effort.

That is when God turn up and show me the way. I dont have to do anything to get an offer, I just have to rest in Him. I got a message from my previous colleague whether I still interested working with her. I was very excited. This company is the one that I always talked about with my husband. Its location is within 10 minutes bus ride, it is a multinational company ( headquarter is in US ) with very good working hour. I always pray to God hoping I can get into the company again.

And now I was halfway there. Interview will be this coming Thursday. God is good. He is really good. He knows what is the best for me. Thank you God.

Contentment

I was reading this post from Emily A. Clark blog and it described what and how I feel exactly with my home. I sometimes feel that this is not my house and too many times I'm feeling like an outsider in my own house. Yet when I go outside, I miss my house dearly.
So now, I want to embrace the feeling of contentment.
My house may not be perfect, but it is mine and it's filled with our hearts. and for so many more years to come.

Have a nice day, everyone! :)

Being at home 24 hours a day

is not fun. at all.

I've been trying to do my best to tidy or clean up things around the house but it seems like no end works. The other day I tried to clean my stand fan from dust which have been collected for some time (err around 9 months maybe..talk about no time to clean). While cleaning it I accidentally broke off one of the blades. Yeah great. So there it goes my stand fan to the dumpster.

And just yesterday my washer seems like not draining properly either. After doing online research of the possibility of washer problems, turns out the part which are the outlet for the water to drain out was choked. Full of derbis and whatsoever micro mini-stuff. End of the day we are $0.80 richer (found quite a fw coins inside it) and the washer works properly again.

Hope next week will be a better day for this mom.

I am 'an unemployed Mom'

I am officially not a fulltime working mother as of June 6th 2015. A decision that comes with a complicated situation that I am in right now. I hope I am getting clearer of what I want and what I want to do with my life right now but it seems I am blur about my own future.

I am not a stay at home mom. yet. My criteria of SAHM is :
- have to be able to cook for the family. I cant cook and with the living situation I am in right now -muminlaw stay with us- I definitely wont be learning to cook in a near future.
- be supported 100% by the husband. My 'not working situation' is my choice. Not his preference. so there is big difference.

So thats it. I can call myself an 'unemployed mom' for now.

Blogging love...and random musings

One of the reasons I started my blog is to capture whatever feelings or things or any random loves that I can 'see' in the images captured beautifully by other people. Here are some of the 'love' that I found lately. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Conversations with Chloe

The other day, I had a stomache ( cramps because of my period) and I told my Chloe just so she can give a little break from playtime.

Me : Chloe, mama's stomach is aching.
Chloe : ooo...
 (a few seconds later)
Chloe : Mama, next time  don't eat too much ah!
Me : '_'

Love her reply. It means she cares.

Happy New Year 2015!

Oh my, I feel like chasing the time everyday and before I know it, its 2015 already...
Feeling a year older now.
My resolutions for this year is quite simple : SImplify!
Yeah, a 'very easy to say hard to do' kind of thing

I hope I can do it.

God bless.
