Masterpiece of God...

Zachary is my son’s name. He is 16 weeks now and he is such a darling to me.


From birth up till now, he has progressed in so many ways. Things that he does now which make Dave and I very proud are:

• Reaches for his toes while lying down
• When we hold his hands and say “up you get”, he lifts his whole body up to sitting position by himself
• When he is placed on his tummy, he can lift his head up and look at us when we call his name
• Brings his hands to a “praying” position in front of him
• Talks to us in his very unique way
• Shakes the rattle when placed in his hand
• Pulls the teddy bear down from the “overhead” thingy on his bouncer
• “Talks” to the teddy bears on the “overhead” thingy on his bouncer
• Smiles at the camera each and every time he sees me taking pictures of him
• etc.

He is such a blessing from God. When I hear the song by Sandi Patty, I cant help but agree and keep agreeing with the lyrics:

Before you had a name, or opened up your eyes
or anyone could recognize your face.
You were being formed, so delicate in size
Secluded in Gods safe and hidden place.

With your little tiny hands, and little tiny feet
And little eyes that shimmer like a pearl.
He breathed in you a song, and to make it all complete
He brought the masterpiece into the world.

You are a masterpiece, a new creation He has formed
And you're as soft and fresh, as a snowy winter morn,
And I'm so glad that God has given you to me,
Little Lamb of God, you are a masterpiece.

And now you're growing up, your life's a miracle,
Every time I look at you I stand in awe,
Because I see in you, a reflection of me
And you'll always be my little lamb from God

And as your life goes on each day,
how I pray that you will see
Just how much your life has meant to me
And I'm so proud of you, what else is there to say
Just be the masterpiece He created you to be

I love my son very much and I thank God each and everyday for giving Zac to me...I pray that he grows up to be a man of God...AMEN

Life...

Sometimes I really wonder, what is life all about?


To some people, life is just breezing through it. Newborn, toddler, preschool, primary school, high school, university, work, meet someone, get married, promotion, pay rise, have kids, raise kids and in the midst of it, purchase home, car, essentials, luxuries, holidays, etc etc and the list goes on and on, till the day we meet our maker…


I have been starting to think about life again in depth in the last few weeks or so. Being in the Christian faith, I believe that life is more to that. We live the life that God wants us to live. But what is living the life that God wants us to live? Surely it’s not just breezing through life?


In the bible, Jesus said to make disciples of all the nations, and spread His Word. (paraphrased) Those were the very last few commands that He gave before leaving the world. But what am I doing in my life in regards to that command? Does attending church suffice? Does reading the bible suffice? Does praying suffice? I believe not! But God has a purpose for each and every one of us, and each may be diverse.


After being pregnant for nine months and being a mummy for about four months, I am beginning to question my existence on earth again. Am I going to just “breeze” through life?


The answer to that question is NO…

A couple of pictures during dating days with Dave...

While trying to put Zac my little boy to sleep, I have decided to dig up some old pictures of Dave my hubby and myself during our dating days...I found a couple which were my favourites...

One that was taken during Church Together in 2005...and one that was taken at my place when I was still living in Wembley before I got married...

At Riverview Church...

At Wembley in 2005...

I feel very blessed to have Dave as my supportive and loving husband...although we have ups and downs in our marriage...but I always thank God for putting Dave in my life...

First post.....

The last few weeks of my life, there were many flashbacks of my life playing in the back of my mind...and I have decided to start "keeping track" of the happenings in my life again...

My diary writing days started when I was a young girl at the age of 6...trying to imitate what my mum did...I always asked my dad to keep a new year diary for me at the end of the year...so that I always had something to write into...

Some of the contents of the diary during my younger days have simple lines like:-

"Koko's birthday today, we went to have seafood and he was very happy"

"Today in school, when xxx was at my desk "illegally", teacher said "look at that monkey fellow jumping here and there" and xxx was very sad"

"It's cece's birthday today, we went to eat Marybrown's and cece was very happy..."

"Had an argument with xxx today, very angry with her"

"Got number 2 in class and xxx got number 1 in class, not happy"

Contents during my teenage years had extracts like:-

"We trained in the rain today. It was so fun that we didnt want to stop"

"I really admire xxx, she plays volleyball so well..."

"Had a big argument over the phone with koko today, I slammed the door behind me, he came chasing after me and gave me a tight slap for slamming the door, I cried"

"
We were the inaugural champion for the choral speaking competition! We're gonna represent our district and we're surely gonna win it"

Lots of other events...and those are among the many events that I captured in my diaries...have been blogging here and there on multiply...will start all over again here...
