Last day of 2005

Christmas just passed and now is the last day of 2005. Xin Yi is 3 years old today and Daniel is in his 10 months. I am glad that I have more time to be with them now… I know them better, by character, instead of just kids…

I thank God that this is what I get from me working flexible time, and this is what I long for… able to know what they are eating, choose the food and clothing for them, know their progress on things… however, sometime I start to take it for granted… I pray to God to help me to appreciate more with them, including bad time and naughty time, and help my heart to become more like a mother...

Thank you for the book FP give to me as a Christmas present, it helps me to become a better woman. I learn something different… not only I should not argue with my husband and trying to win the “battle”, instead, referring to Abigail, she help by admitting her husband wrong as her own and ask for forgiveness from the offender… that is mind blowing.

Today Tk and Fp were discussing about Xin Yi's schooling issue… I pray that God help us on the decision making of every step of our life. Please give Fp a peaceful mind on Tk’s decision, somehow, there were few incidents that they get into high level discussion :p

I pray that God to help me to get back the momentum to do the work… after the holiday season… a new year and a new beginning.

I Reap What I Sow

Life is different now when work out of office. I thank God the chance to be out of a 8-to-5 job. I hope with the flexibility I can take care of my babies, and do what He wants me to do.

I am doing good sales last month. Now not earning as much as sitting in the office, but that peace of mind have convince me that I am doing the right thing. I believe it will get better. I prayed that God will guide and teach me to be good at planting and sowing at the right time, and according to His will.

My hand phone was being stolen yesterday, and my stomach at the same time was not feeling well. I do not know whether it is due to indigestion or the lost of my hand phone. I think I have to treat myself better, eat better, plus eating some supplement. I asked God to take away the uneasiness. I have learnt from this incident that I reap what I sow. Everything I do will have consequences -- I admit that I did not put the phone at a good place, which is hanging outside of my bag. It is obviously too tempting for the thief, right?

The maid issue has gone through a lot. (1) Her relationship with family members, (2) Her calls made back home, (3) Her meet-up with her brother. I have to learn to be her employer, not just a friend. Thank God that all is under control now. I hope and prayed that she’ll be a good maid to take care of the house and the children.

I Resign from my 9-year-old Job

I handed up the resignation letter yesterday. Although I know I won't be in a 8-to-5 job anymore, I need to always remind myself I have to be more discipline working from home. Advice given by a successful businessman to me..

(1) When venture out to earn money instead of working under someone, the sky is the limit. Everything is in the thinking, and the struggle is in the head. Always remember: Money is not everything, but money can give me and my family a better life.

(2) Who motivate us? Who motivate the leaders? We motivate ourselves, always tell ourselves - life is so great, be passionate of what we do. Help people, the money will come. Is something in us!

(3) No more "giving this amount of work and get this amount of pay" thinking, which is the job mentality... instead, look at what to get, then plan and earn the money to pay for it. (No more saying "I can't afford it" by looking at a paycheck... there is no paycheck!)

(4) Always have a goal to achieve and the goal that leads to a dream.

(5) Faith in practice! No backup or fall-back plan. Just keep on blessing people… you will be fed by God.

He is a boy

Life has changed to better in this 6 months, thank God. I have learned to let go certain things and have peace in my heart.

Oh yes, the baby is a boy... confirmed by few doctors. They somehow automatically told me without me asking. I am a blessed woman having a girl, now a boy.

My 2nd pregnancy is going well. I did not take much notice on my tummy. The baby kicks more, seems like to remind me that he is there.

Recently, besides working 8 to 5, I am busy on the part time skin analysis work, and also pick up some orders of festive hampers job to do. I really prayed that the work is what I will be doing, then the next challenge will be on the baby sitting issue.

I look upon God's help for my new venture. I am not so panic like I used to.
