For the past few days, I have been feeling more nauseous. No real vomitting...but feels nauseous at times. Been eating quite a bit of orange peel..haha. Oh oh... I thought I am just moving out of the 1st trimester and things should get better..Ah!!!!!
Feeling less tired lately but starting to experience backaches and occasional cramps in the leg. Ah!!!!!!
haha..:) Ah well...I guess I shan't complain too much..afterall, things have been generally ok! Must thank God and be contented haha.
WG always says, "Enjoy the whole process, once the baby is born, you will not get to experience all that..." haha.. eh... guess its true that its a unique experience to be enjoyed :p

Sneezing all day long
The weather's been quite crazy I think.
Hard to sleep through the night because of varying temperatures. Tried sleeping in an air-con room but my nose gives way in the morning. Sigh.. when will such days be over. Been using so much tissue paper in office everyday. I think my colleagues must be tired of hearing me sneeze everyday.
For a while, I was worried over the fact that I have been catching colds here n there during the pregnancy...until a sister told me that it's somewhat normal cos of the physical changes happening in my body. Well... no matter what, I want to try keeping myself free from illnesses.
Fatigue is a recurring problem...feel like sleeping ALL THE TIME. haha..Oh..I need strength and grace from God to pull through this new day..

In a new phase of life
Many would already know by now that I have entered into a new phase of life.
The life of carrying another little life in myself :)
It's been slightly more than 2 months.
These 2 months have been marked by emotional ups and downs, fatigue, poor appetite etc.. the usual symptoms :p But thank God, I am adjusting to them pretty ok.
It was tough initially, but I think the notion of being a mother is slowly setting in. As I have told many people, it's good that God decided that the whole process would take 9 months.. and not 9 days. haha! If it was any shorter, I think it would be real tough.. cos it takes time to adjust to a new phase of life. God knows best.
It's a phase of learning not to take things too hard.. lest it affects the little one. A phase of re-learning what faith in our loving Abba Father means.
I thank God for a supportive husband who is sensitive to my needs in such a phase.. and also for people around me who shower me with care.
I want to especially mention those who have helped me satisfy my cravings for food! :) hahahaha

A life that glorifies God
Lately, there has been some updates on the papers about Billy Wang.
Apparently, he is now suffering from a relapse of his cancer.
This news has set me thinking and reflecting about the lessons learnt from Cat and Dog Theology in church recently.
God has allowed him to be healed from cancer for a number of years and used him to testify to His love and glory through supporting and caring for cancer patients. Now, God has allowed him to suffer from a relapse.
Is he feeling resentful now? Resentful against God etc...apparently not. From what I have read, he is facing up to the situation at hand and even making preparations for his own funeral. I believe he is hoping that the funeral would be yet another opportunity to impact lives.
He is suffering, no doubt, but God probably allowed this to happen because his death would bring about greater glory for Him. Just as his healing for the past years has brought Him much glory as well.
I don't know what his funeral would be like, but somehow, the recent news set me thinking...
Christians are not free from suffering, neither are we absolved from facing death. But the difference lies in how we approach life with its realities and glorify our Father in heaven.
Honestly, I think its hard to be a "dog" who seeks to glorify God in all circumstances. Some pain just seems too hard to bear... but well, I am constantly challenged to remember that,
"It's never about us"

Happy Daoshi day!:)
Before I forget, I would like to make special mention of the mini celebration at JYF last sat.
It was filled with loads of fun...and I must say that this Daoshi Day is one of the most memorable ones all these years. (Haha..don't think we usually celebrate daoshi day in the first place)
I appreciate the effort put in by all of them..:p From the games, to the sharing, to the beautiful gifts. I especially loved the gifts...personalised messages from each one of them. Each message was an encouragement to me.
I thank God for keeping each JYFer in this family.
I thank God for the growth that I see in each one of them.
I thank God for their willingness to be taught and guided.
I thank God for their willingness to discipline themselves in QT and prayer.
I thank God for their desire to become more Christ-like.
I thank God for every single life in JYF :)
To my dear JYFers: "Thank you for loving us daoshis haha :p"

New songs everyday :)
It's interesting.
Recently, different songs have been coming to mind each day. Some oldies which I have not sung for a long long time come to mind all of a sudden.
And the singing starts early in the morning...once I get out of bed :) haha
Looks like the spirit of singing songs all day long has returned :) Which is a good thing. Keeps my mind off bad stuff..haha

Adjustments, changes, difficult times
Haven't been blogging much lately because of some changes and adjustments in my life.
I will give an update soon :)
It hasn't been easy on my end...stressed, overwhelmed. Lost in the midst of the negative emotions and thoughts.
But I know my dear Lord is with me and has not forsaken me. I know He loves and cares for me.
Something came to mind this morning, maybe due to the way I was brought up since young, it's easier to relate to the Master-Servant relationship with God and less of the Father-child relationship. His tender loving care towards me is something less familiar to me. And all these years, I have learning and grappling with this truth, that God loves me with deep compassion and tender loving care.
I need to rest, to rest in His loving arms and to know that He loves, protects and keeps me from all harm.
