Overflowing....

with gratefulness.
I knew I was doing the right thing by closing down my office and selling whatever that I can and talking to buyers. It was a decision struggled for the longest time.... it was a decision done not only looking at the numbers driven and the coming economy environment, although I state the this as a reason to all people who bothers to ask as that was easier to explain.

I knew it was a God pleasing decision although along the way, it was tough to navigate it here and there but through prayers I got to the destination.

I asked God for 3 things:

1. To land me into a new job with ease.
Indeed God was good. I got into a lecturing position, attaching myself to the business studies dept. Many raised eyebrows and had looks that says: Are you going into teaching becos of desperation or the poor economic outlook as the last resort or oh teaching, hmmmmmm its better for your family I guess. However, deep inside me, I knew I had applied for it becos it combines my passion for business and youth. However, passion or calling or whatso, as Gee clearly states and I clearly understood, can only be confirmed after I commenced lecturing work staring at youths who yeah may not care a heck about ME or the studies. So let's just see how it will turned out... but for now, I am yes, very grateful and excited.

2. A trip to Canada
To visit my best pal. Trust me even now as I am typing this I am suffering from this great pangs of guilt for leaving both my men behind to cope and crazy Mao separation anxiety possibilities. I have enough of people asking me, Huh? Maoster how? And those looks that brand me as, oh look at that irresponsible mother running away having fun all by herself! But despite all that, the air ticket is in my bag- I will be away 15th April to 28th April. I hope I don't have jetleg becos on 29th I have a wedding rehearsal, 30th I have a musical to attend and 1st and 2nd I have weddings and 4th of May I am starting work.
If the institute had needed me to start work way earlier, I wouldn't have made it.

3. A baby ( a healthy one but greedily a pinkie if possible)
We lost our 2nd baby and I knew how much Jon wants a 2nd baby. So much that he says hey actually 2 boys are so great ( cos he knows I am crazy about boys) indicating that give me one more, whatever the gender.
So we have agreed that we will try for a baby projectBB2 version 2.1 Oct onwards. We are keeping faith that this new one will survive and be a full term baby.

God doesn't always gives one what you asked for all the time, if HE does, then I am worried for my limited intelligence would be asking for the WORLD and ruining my own life and forgetting that He is God and not me. But when God answers my prayers, I am truly, unimaginably grateful.

However, I am also challenged now that when I am truly Blessed, how can I pass it on. Passing it on in my ministry, in the community and to the broken. I am working out actually on a Aung family 2009 commitments and dedication thingy and a do-able trackable calendar to make sure we stay on it.
