Penny of thoughts ... Plenty of thoughts ---- Condensed Version :)

it has been an eventful 3 weeks. I started my full time work in Church officially. I had a 3 weeks "Nanny" role to play.It was the "high" of ministry with new student's orientation and start of freedom month. God is good, it's always such a blessing to be surrounded by willing souls to fish for Jesus.Seeing people coming to know my dear daddy in heaven; Young hearts with eyes glitten up when they see that God is real and moving in their lives, and using them as vessels!

My daddy truely surrounds me with HIS faithfulness

People tell me that it was good training for me, to look after 3 kids for 3 weeks (well we got some shift work going on for the 2 older boys, but the little girl followed me through 3 weeks) haha, mind you it wasn't a "baby sit for a night" kind of thing, it was a full time 24-7 thing (besides the few hours they spend in school) picking them up, cooking for them, being with them, playing, teaching, sometimes "lecturing" ... swarmed in midst of sibling arguments and trying to make sense out of they squabbles, and trying to help them make sense of my reprimands

tears trickling down her little face, saying "i want mommy" and i have never in my life expressed a "I love you" to little ones.for some moments i felt strange, but i said it "i love you litlle princess .. and mommy will be back soon" it made a difference!

i wouldn't say its a training, but more so --- each day is a whole new experience

i understood why it could be so easy for moms to suffer from PNS, insomnia, stress, breakdowns ... I understood how i have to build convictions now in my ministry so that TIME out for ministry does not become something extra within my family life, but becomes PART of my family life; i thought of how in future, i have to make it a point to rely on God in raising up my kids and learn to release my future husband to serve God (Don't get me wrong :) i am still a propogator of "husbands MUST be involved in raising kids" and that they play a major role in the Family); I realised too, I have a long way to learn! Thank God that my dear daddy is my wonderful counsellor. Thank You daddy for teaching me what to do with the kids, how to love them, encourage them, discipline them .... so much more

Kelvin, thanks for your love and support too, with you around makes things a whole lot easier

But i still thank God, i am back to my "single but not available" status haha
