Lord be with us as we search for someone to help take care of our family and home while Tim and I work. Lead us to the right help who loves you Lord and see Nathaniel and Jeremiah as blessings from you Lord and love them too.
Lord, I know you have someone out there who is also looking for us
Someone who loves you Lord
Someone with a BIG HEART!
Lord, I know when you close one door, you will open another for us for you have plans for us. Plans to prosper not to destroy.
Even with all the budgets, long-term plannng and cautious steps, things may not happen the way we like them to be but Lord, you can set it aright and we trust that you will set them all aright
Thank you Lord for the faith you've increased in us day by day. Thank you for putting Jeremiah into my life for I know it is through Jeremiah that my faith increased leaps and bounds. Thank you Lord for making us instruments of Your love.
Today, I am at peace for I know by staying close to you Lord, nothing is impossible.
So Lord, with you beside us, we'll never give up for we can do all things through God who strenghthens me (Phil 4:13)

Helper sacked us?
My mind is in a whirl.
The helper dropped the bomb last night.
She gave us the sack.
Says she needs to be out of here by November.
Just took her salary on Sunday and 3 days later says she wanna go home.
And so I thought she loved and cared for Jere a lot....
But she just told us, she wanna go home last night to get married. She found a swiss boyfriend and it's her opportunity.
6 months ago, just in April, she told me she had to go home to settle her stuff as her husband is having an affair and I let her go.
Thought it was settled.
6 months later, now she tells me she found a new boyfriend and wanna get married.
What's with these people?
I hardly slept a wink.
Worried. Yes I am.
Where do I go from here?
If any of you reading got a good solution for us, please drop us a note.
Lord, I surrender this to you for I know you have plans for us. Plans to prosper not to destroy. Lord, please take over me.

Mummy, When will Jerry grow up?
pop quiz by Nat this morning as we were sending him to school
Nat: Mummy, When will Jerry grow up?
Me: What you mean grow up?
Nat: Stand, walk and run with me.
Me: Jerry is a special baby. By right, baby this age should be able to stand and walk already. But Jerry is born with a defect
Nat: What is a defect?
Me: Defect means something was not quite right about him. His spine which is the bone behind here (pointing to my spine) was outside when he was born. That was why we had to send him for operation. So his hips down is affected and this makes him have not as much strength to stand or walk. Only God can help. So you gotta pray really hard for this to happen.
Nat listening intently all the while then butted in to say....
Nat: Pray really hard?
Me: Yeah. Pray really hard.
There was a long silence.
My heart was in pieces. On one hand,I felt sad that Jerry could not get on his feet and walk yet. On the other hand, I also felt really sad for Nat who had always wanted a younger sibling to play with him. To run with him. To kick a ball with him. To play catching with him.
Won't you all just pray as hard together with Nat for his little brother to stand up, walk, run and play with him?
Yes, Jerry WILL walk.
not just walk.
Jerry will run, hop, skip and jump. Most of all, Jerry will dance for the Lord and be a testimony of His wonderful love for us.
Jerry is a miracle kid and will carry on to be!
Now, even the kid knows there's nothing my God cannot do!

3rd Neurologist Assessment - Sept 2007 - How did it go?
Dr J pointed to the head and the hands and said "looks ok"
Mummy said "ok? you mean his cognitive all ok?"
Dr J "well for now, we can't really tell till he gets older"
Mummy say "Praise the Lord! He is ok and will be ok. Amen"
Dr J "You gotta work hard there" pointing to the legs and hips down
Mummy "l know and I will"
Dr J "okie... then i will see you in 4 months' time"
Mummy "4? can we make it 3?"
it always sounds like i am in the market bargaining for a fish when it comes to drs appointment at the public hospital coz apparently there's a long q.
Dr J "Okie... if that's what you want... i am only seeing him to make sure he's well"
Mummy "thanks, but of coz!"
That's about it :)
i think sometimes the drs probably think mummy is crazy.
but mummy believes that with God, faith and love, what else can we not achieve when we stay close to God :)
Amen!

3rd Neurologist Assessment - Sept 2007
Hospital appointment tomorrow Jere?
Here's how he looked :P
Nah.... just kidding, this sure wasn't his expression when you tell him he got an appointment with the doc! This pic was taken recently when we were out for dinner :)jus thot a little pic of the angel could cheer us all abit :)
Time flies! and it's 3 months and we gonna see the neurologist again tomorrow.
Frankly, my heart weighs tons everytime i gotta bring the little one to the hospital.
I pray one day, i can say we don't need to step into the hospital anymore coz he's DISCHARGED! TOTALLY WELL AND COMPLETELY HEALED! and I know the LORD GOD is working on this as we pray about it everyday.
Do keep little Jeremiah in your prayers for complete healing for I look forward to the day where i can glorify His name and say Jeremiah is totally healed and well. AMEN!

Our little Hero standing!
So... after our dear helper told me about little Jere's attempts to stand, i always try to standby the camera... and
TA.... da.... finally....
Yeah! I'm sure lotsa you will be thrilled to see this!
And Oh No! the boy's not camera shy... it's coz he's not dressed up nicely la :P... when he is at his sunday best he will smile nicely at the camera :)
Yes Praise the Lord little Jere is standing!
However as you can see his right foot is a little bent inwards so he cant really stand. The foot bent inwards is actually a result of the imbalance of nerves due to the open neural tube defect where some nerves never developed or were affected. Try standing with your foot bent.... i tried and it really hurts. So before you start complaining how unfair life's been to you, look at this little fella who gives his best and tries so hard to get on his feet.
Let's all unite in prayer that God will strengthen little jeremiah hips down and straighten the little feet and get him standing nice and proper :) AMEN!
