Back to Life

Back to Reality. :)

Things have improved much this past year - it is indeed a bonus year for our household. Finances are falling into place, give-and-take skill has improved, etc.

The house isn't any cleaner than the first day, but I do my best to tidy it up - at least the large pieces of furniture are in their right spots and not narrowing the way for us to move from room to room. :)

Oh! And I got someone to come over to install the bathroom fixtures last weekend. Yay... so happy! :))

Food is a mainly boring daily affair, but is always in abundance - God indeed has provided for us by multiplying our food for us. n_n

Praise the Lord indeed for His providence and protection over our lives.

Self-motivated or God-directed?

From the first day I met Hubs, he has always been talking about Australia and Australian life.

I mean, always.

He could go on for hours on end about his 5 years there, and how good life is compared to Malaysia. And how he yearned to return to Australia. Etc etc.

I, on the other hand, never had the slightest thought of doing so.

Until this year, that is.

I am currently asking myself whether this is self-motivated (i.e. got influenced by Hubs' 4 years of talking non-stop about Australia / wanting change / I love Hubs to bits until I will gladly follow him to the ends of the earth *cough*), or God-directed (i.e. where He is leading us to).

*Answers seeking mode on*

Reinventing Self with God

Its been a long time I've been away from blogging. About a year, in fact.

Events since my last post:-
1. Got married

 

 

2. Got bullied, lost a lot of weight and got sick (really sick)
 

3. Got bitter (look at that fake smile pasted on my face)

 

4. Got fat [force-fed as well as self-stuffed (emotional eating)] & got mad

BUT...


This year will be better, because I am not following the "submissive wife" tenent (since that produced pretty disasterous results in the first year of marriage).
Nor will I listen to the directions of men who think they know better (and speak condescendingly to me, as though they know what really happened).

Rather, I will just follow God's leading to renew me over and over again.

My 2013 resolutions are only three:-
1. Complete this year's bible reading plan (and not miss even a day of it)
2. Complete my ICSA exams (preferably by June 2013
3. Keep our household in order

So God help me. :)

 

Left and Right

I have not a clue to what I am doing, but the Lord is leading me.

I have no obvious support on this matter, and I hurt, but I trust and will obey what the Lord told me to do.

He has spoken, and that is all I need to know.

Moving Forward

Time to move on. :)

Trusting in the Lord, things are getting better. For sure. n_n
