5 Days More

Wow! Praise God! I've survived 8 days in being alone with the kids at home without Hubby. This is such a breakthrough for me. The longest I was alone with Lyle without hubby was 3 nights and 4 days when he and Tricia went to Malaysia. That was a breeze since it wasn't very long and I only had one child with me.

But this time, I had both kids and we'll be home alone for 13 days. Whew! Praise God for his strength and grace. It's not an easy task especially since both of my kids are highly energetic and my li'l boy is getting to be talkative too. Oh, there were times that I would just wish to be alone and enjoy peace and quiet.

And I thank God for granting me this desire since I'm having an afternoon off now. Thank God for friends who are taking care of my kids. I actually had a relaxing afternoon at the coffee shop, was able to go around town for a walk and am now enjoying the quietness in our house. I'll be having a short nap in awhile too. ;)

My Li'l Boy's Prayer

It's so cute to hear a 3 year old pray. Hubby, my daughter and I would end up giggling hearing our li'l boy pray. There were a few times that he would thank God for his Appa's hair ( with matching laying of hands over his hair), the fan ( he would then hug the fan), the pillows and all the other things. When he prays for me, his Appa or Ate Tricia, he never fails to hug the person he's praying for.

Last night, he prayed and asked God to protect each one of us and even mentioned some friends who are in the Philippines. Then he prayed for his knee to be healed. He actually hurt his knee while he was running up the stairs. It wasn't anything major like needing knee braces but I guess it still hurt so much. I was amused when he was praying like and evangelist, " Pleash, heal my knee Lord. Heal me! Heal me, Lord!"... :) Just precious!

Praying for our Friend P

Please pray for our friend P. She has just undergone mastectomy last Saturday. We are now waiting for her biopsy results too. We're fervently praying that she doesn't have cancer. We are not sure whether she has applied for medicare supplement plans before but praise God for the provision of her medical needs.

We met P a few years back. She's one lady who is very zealous and has a vision to reach out not just to her family but her whole community as well. Actually, we haven't seen P for a long time already since she's based on another island. But surprisingly, we remembered her last week. It was only then a few days ago that we learned about her health conditions.

This incident also reminds me to always pray for people who we 'suddenly' think of. That person might need our prayers. It must also be God reminding and convicting us to pray for that certain person.
