Happy Mother's Day

     I have been a mom for almost seven years now and tomorrow I will be celebrating Mother's Day together with all the Moms in the world. 

     Being a Mom is really a blessing from God.  Although, I must admit it is a tough job.  I couldn't do this without the guidance from God. 

     The role of the mother is to nurture her children and to be submissive to her husband.  I know that if I will only trust on my own nothing good is going to happen. 

      I am so lucky because God gave me two mothers (three now, including my mother-in-law!).  I grew up with my Aunt, my Mama's sister, and she has given me all the love that a mother could give.  She may not be my biological mother but she is my mother.

      Both of them tried to work as hard as they could to provide for the family.  And, it was sufficient.  We may not be rich but we had just enough.  I may not have all the "good things" when I was growing up but I had all the things that I needed to be complete. 

        If I will be given a chance to choose a mother, I'd still choose them both. 

        Whenever, I pray for my mothers I do not pray for wealth but I pray for health and long life. 

        In Titus 2:4-5 mothers (women) are reminded : "These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children,  to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God."

       May all mothers be prayerful enough and ask God's guidance to raise Godly children.  Mothers play a very important role in building a Godly nation.

       Happy Mother's day to every Mom in this world.

                

    

Remiscing the Old Days

     I worked at McDonalds as a service crew for three years.  I was a working student when I was in College.  After I graduated from College, I thought it was time for me to move on and stop being a crew.  I was asked to be transfered to a bigger store (mine was just a satellite store - a small store) so I'll get to know all the products that we have.  But, I asked to be moved to a different department.  I wanted to be a part of the "Star" team - the marketing team of McDo.  These are the people who handle the parties held in Mcdo.  But, before I can be trained to host a party, I have already decided to resign.

     I transfered to Jollibee as a Manager.  And, during the first three months operation of our Store in Jollibee PRC, I was assigned to handle the "Smart" team.  Now, that is the marketing team of Jollibee.

     As a Manager, my duty was  to make sure our marketing is okay and that all birthday parties held in our store were funfilled.  It was my job to make sure the host was okay, the foods great, etc.

     Memories of the past came back to me last Sunday.  We attended the 7th birthday party of our friend's daughter.  Her name's Keanna.  We were there before the party started.  I was looking after my children when my husband told me the Clown/Host backed out and they do not have someone to host the party.They thought, I could do the job. 

     I was really nervous and I never wanted to it, but I couldn't afford to see the disappointment on the kids faces.  They were there and they were expecting for a party! No, I wouldn't let them down!

      It was my first time to host a party and I thank God because it was a success (for me!). 

     During the party, I couldn't help but reminisce the times when I used to be a part of the "Star" and the "Smart" teams.  I could envision myself wearing our uniform.   I could have been a good Smart Assistant! LOL. ;)

    

Different therefore Complementing

     My husband and I were talking about our differences and it is nice to know that we are growing in our relationship.  We talked about the conflicts that we have and we are just happy that we can now talk about our problems in a constructive way.  Although, sometimes we still need  to pause first before we can talk things out.

     We both believe that this is happening because God is the center of our relationship now.  God can change hearts and minds.  Nothing is really impossible with God.

     We may be different in many things but these differences make our relationship more interesting.  We complement each other. ;) 

     I believe that God will not give us what we want; He will give us what we need.
