Living out Faith

For the past two weeks, it's been kinda busy for Babe and me. Last week I was off to Singapore from Monday to Friday for a school trip. Left home at 6 in the morning and barely had time to say bye to Babe. Babe left on Wednesday for Bangkok for a work trip and he arrived on Friday night and as tired as he was, he still waited at the airport for me. I was excited and at the same time happy to see him. It had been 5 long hard days at work with the kids. The weekend rolled along. We had guests over for dinner on Saturday and on Sunday, it's family day as our helper takes a break. Then the work week started again. So Babe and I hardly had time to sit, chat and spend time with each other. Last night Babe reminded me to make reservations at the Italian restaurant at our place. So I did and was glad that I did. We really needed the date night. I got to the restaurant early and waited for Babe to arrive. The food tonight took longer than expected but I didn't mind as it gave Babe a...

So this afternoon, little Ba Ba threw up. And we thought nothing of it as he throws up all the time. But evening came, he threw up again and then again and again and a couple more agains. Babe got a little worried. But when he tried to throw up even though he had nothing left, I got really worried. So we called a friend of ours who live in the same area to ask if he could drive us to the hospital. He readily agreed. But when we got down, we saw a cab and thought that it would be better for us to catch a cab instead. So off to Sanatorium we went. Got to the hospital, saw the doctor and it was a relief to know that little Ba Ba would be alright. He doesn't have to be hospitalized or anything like that. It was along the way that I realized that God is good and He has always been good. We had our friends that were ready to help out and they prayed for us. When I checked in on Facebook, again, we had friends showing us concern. Even with the doctor that little Ba Ba saw, we know that i...

So this Monday, I'm off again. Christmas, I was back in Singapore and then 2 weeks in Hong Kong, back for work. Then at Chinese New Year, I was back in Singapore again. And now, 2 weeks after coming back from Singapore, I'm going back to Singapore again. But this time is for work and Ba Ba and Babe won't be coming along. This trip is going to be hard. Well, not because it's a work trip with 48 kids but rather it's the first time that I'll be away from Ba Ba for such a long time. Well, the last time I was away from Ba Ba, we were in Maldives and Ba Ba was in Singapore with our helper and his grandparents. I'm going to be missing him a lot more. I know that Ba Ba is going to be in good hands. Our helper loves him heaps and I'm very sure that she'll take good care of him. But at the back of my head, I'll be thinking of little Ba Ba. Sometimes I wish that I didn't have to work. So this leads me to some of my random thoughts. The last time I was b...

Readers, be warned, this is a religious/ Christian post. So if you don't like reading stuff like this, move on. Don't read or if you do read, don't bother leaving malicious comments. Anyway, towards the end of the church service I was reminded of God's goodness upon me. There were things that I don't deserve but God so freely gave to me without me even asking for them. One of the things that God freely gave me is little Ba Ba. With little Ba Ba is kinda interesting. We knew that it was God's calling for us to adopt. Yes, we adopted even without trying to conceive a child because we know that it's God's will. But then the wait for little Ba Ba was a long one. But this was probably due to our disobedience too. Anyway, when God gave us Ba Ba, there are days and even now that when I look at Ba Ba and I thank God for giving him to me. Yes, Babe and I don't deserve him but God is in generosity gave him to us. The other thing that struck me was a gift that ...
