That is our breakfast this morning! yummy!!

staying in the cage

I was staying in my assistance manager for 2.5 hours doing auditing..... no fun at all... eyes were tiring!!

I like the reminder......

Open my eyes....

I didn't know thoughtout my parenting I need to teach my kids compassionate....I thought this comes from God. For the last 2 days.... kids had sleepover at Ian's house. This is something Ellyse's want the kids to play with Ian..... Amazingly, Ethan was excited, too. God has brought me attention to pray for them to have a heart to love Ian. We prayed the night before we went there. As a mom, I want Ian feels he is accepted by his peers. Therefore, I have been prepared my kids.... always involve Ian, and respect him and don't take his stuffs unless you have his approved!!

Amazingly, Ellyse has updated me and informed me that Ethan was a big brother. He asked lots of questions to Ian. He asked him to play with them every so often. Ethan is becoming a big brother. Ethan is very self center most of the time... God has done many good things in his life. God has shaped and molded him. I pray that God continues to mold him like Christ!!

Jaden, always so gentle.... I know he will play with Ian. I am happy to see him to play boardgame wth Ian. He has set a good example to Ian. Jaden knows that he can't play until all his works are done. Good job, boys!! So proud of you!! You both brought me tears!!

This is a journal from Ian

they are so humble and do whatever need to be done....

Sunday....

wanted to rest.... but also wanted to make more dishes for family... since Peter and I are on diet...

We ended up having company for dinner... they came my house different time.... so funny...

They become our families..... eat whatever I have in freezer...

Leah's last day....

Can't believe today is her last day... will miss her so so much!!

Is so true??

Just Love it!!

God planned it this way so that we can draw closer to Him.... these are the things we need God's power and strength to do it!!

Praying for the kids....

God has convinced me to pray for the kids each day... and also pray with them....

God reminded me to imply the meaning of salvation in their lives..... since Ethan was in big trouble on Saturday. He was very emotional, and something he does not agree or do not like, and then he started to scream at us. We asked him to pray out loud to God for forgiveness. Of course, he at first he insisted to say in his heart. However, we want to hear him until we will excuse him.

God is good... Ethan is working on his weakness.... I know that God want to change us first. Many times we scream at the kids if we have to say more than few times.... We admitted our mistakes, too..... God, we ask you to change our hearts too.

We have started to pray together... today is our first night... we will start to get on our bed at 8 pm and start to share and praying.... the kids enjoy it... they take turns to pray for each other...it is a good start and we want to use prayers to change our hearts and our characters more like God!!
