Back to daily life


Now that I have been back, life goes back to normal. I like having my routines back. Here's a peek of my life...
One of my great joy and privilege is to teach the Word of God. I think most people do not realise how much we have to study before we can teach or preach on the Word.  I am not complaining though because I do consider it a blessing and privilege to do what I do. The best thing is that when we soak ourselves in His Word, our lives are aligned to His purpose and destiny for us.  Even if you are not studying to teach the Word, I want to encourage you to study it for yourself! You will be blessed! And if you are in the neighbourhood, join us every Tuesday as we study the book of James.




 These ladies are such a blessing to me! They have become such important part of my life. I didn't even realise how much I would miss this class until I had to travel recently. Their faithfulness, their desire to learn and their faith gives me such motivation when I study for them.

With all my travels, I had developed both "golfers" and "tennis" elbow. I didn't think its fair that I had either condition since I played neither sports! It wasn't a big deal though, I just had to remember not to carry anything heavy which actually was harder than I thought. I guess as moms, we are so used to hauling any amount of stuff - bags, luggage, groceries, children, etc. When I did forget, I was quickly reminded when I felt the pain. I thought if we had such clear and effective reminders of all the things we should not be doing, perhaps our lives would be so much better?  Just a thought!

The physiotherapist also told be that long hours at the laptop and poor posture while using a laptop can also caused the two elbow conditions or at the very least aggravate it. So I got myself the nifty gadget - kinda like a lapdesk. Its pretty cool as it comes with an inbuilt fan for the laptop!

So this is a peek into my day to day life!

Getting Ready for yet another trip!

Before I forget, I wanted the friends who have left comments on this blog to know that I read your comments as they are automatically sent to my email address. I tried replying to the address in the emails but it doens't get to you - it just redirects me to this blog again. Anyways, I want you to know that I appreciate the comments- tells me someone is reading what I am writing - I wonder sometimes!! Ok, two evenings ago I had another invite to join an evangelist to Goma, also in DRC. They are doing a crusade there- I cannot tell you how much I want to join them but I can't - not this time anyways. We are in the midst of preparing to return to Malaysia for two months to reconnect with churches and friends who supports our work here and also to give our report. We are also trusting God to connect with more people and churches who are interested in our work here. We need to raise so much more to empower and release more laborers to a ripen harvest in AFrica. I am so overwhelm wit...
ONE YEAR LATER!!! Yes, it's one year later since our return to Malaysia and Max made it and is still with us :-) I cannot believe that it was a year ago since I posted my last entry, and I am finding it even more amazing that we have actually been "home" for a little over a year! I can say that life in Malaysia has been full of suprises and is fast and furious. I was inspired to blog again when I was going through our digital photos and doing some digital decluttering. I was amazed by how much has happened in just a year. So, over the next few days, I am hoping to get you all caught up withn all that has happened the last 12 months and I will try to post as many pictures as I can.....I am not very patient waiting for pictures to upload :-) Max - survived the 24 hour journey and seems to have adapted pretty good to Malaysian life. We are so glad we brought him with us! Reunited with their youngest cousins ... Annabelle and Isaac. I think they will featured q...

The Secrets of a Pastor's Marriage

Recently I posted a picture of myself and a beautiful bouquet of flowers,,,,It was one of those special moments in our marriage. I had been feeling pressured with an unending to do list and preparing for a missions trip. I was sharing with Tony how stressed I was before leaving to have a quick dinner with Vickie. When I returned home, Tony suprised me with this beautiful bouquet. He just wanted to bless and encourage me.  Yes, he's sweet and thoughtful and let me just put it out there once and for all, HE IS ALL MINE :) I was surprised by the number of people who liked the post. I suppose many are "curious" what a pastor's marriage look like...is it perfect? Is it easier because both of us are pastors? I thought I share a few pictures and thoughts on the subject.   Firstly, our marriage is not perfect - it's just like yours - there are always up and downs, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, the sweet and sour! In many ways, a ministers...
