Glory through suffering

I'm excited to find this clip.

This is what I was struggling about for the last few months.

"The enemy does not have the power to destroy you.

He can not destroy a child of God.

But he can make you think you are destroyed."

so.. pumped up..

Even though it seems like

a deep message,

it is a

simple & truthful message.

Thank you, {Good morning girls} for sharing!

While I'm Waiting - John Waller

While I'm Waiting

I'm waiting on You, Lord

And I am hopeful

I'm waiting on You, Lord

Though it is painful

But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident

Taking every step in obedience

While I'm waiting

I will serve You

While I'm waiting

I will worship You

While I'm waiting

I will not faint

I'll be running the race

Even while I wait

I'm waiting

I'm waiting on You, Lord

And I am peaceful

I'm waiting on You, Lord

Though it's not easy

But faithfully, I'll wait

Yes, I will wait

I will serve You while I'm waiting

I will worship while I'm waiting

I will serve You while I'm waiting

I will worship while I'm waiting

I will serve You while I'm waiting

I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

Whenever I find myself in trouble, I think about them and smile.

Is there an end to organizing?

No. It is endless and is a repeated process like the cycle of the seasons.
I was busy cleaning and purging for several weeks. I got rid of tons from my studio, including some papers I wrote in college - I could not purge even a piece of paper from aeons ago. : ( I realized that I tend to keep EVERYTHING that I don't even get to use, but could not let it go, either. But now I can tell myself proudly : ) that I have changed and can apply the following in my life: 'without purging old piles, there is no room for new things.'

Living with the mounting piles of unnecessary stuff makes my life even harder - a burden, load, responsibility....

Only if I choose the way of life in which I keep tidying away, I can relax and be open-minded for the word of God. Otherwise my life would be cluttered with useless items forever.

Mother's Day 2010

+ gift from J +

+ gift from C +

I love the handmade Mother's Day cards from the kids. I especially love that their drawings have details and descriptions... We had nothing planned for the day; however, my hubby has been having symptoms like swollen face, itching, dryness and pain for the past few weeks. It seems that MRSA is back after he stopped all his antibiotics. I found zits all over his scalp since last week and he has been complaining about pain on his head abd neck.

He needed to call his Dr. and I had to drop him off at Good Samaritan Cancer Center for his infusion.

Although we had the unexpected schedule, I was grateful and thank God for being able to spend time with my kids on Mother's day and having a gorgeous and pretty weather for the day.

things i enjoy making

Thank you all teachers for your prayers and hard work for the kids.

the progress of his recovery

After my husband, P, received a stem cell transplant in 2008, certain symptoms kept appearing in various ways; his face, especially his eyes, got swellen, red and itchy and his skin was peeling and cracking and sticky fluid has been seeping out of his face for the past few months. It seemed very painful,,,, very much. He has been applying steroid cream, anti-bacterial cream all over his face and body..... P is a rare case where he inherited allergies from the donor. And this is something even the doctors could not have anticipated. Now the medical team asked him to stop several medications (including all the anti-biodics covering him) for a while to observe which one might be the possible cause of his medical allergies. It seems that the anti-biotics medications which are supposed to protect him from the infections are making it harder for him. He has to take anti-biotics to prevent possible infections, yet these anti-biotics are causing allergic reactions.

The worst thing of being a patient like him is unpredictable symptoms, reactions, and results. But the good thing is that he shows remarkable endurance throughout all this process. Even though he has been suffering so hard, I could not help him to reduce the pain but I tried to be right next him to add joy and happiness.

He is sharing his testmony on Easter Sunday.
