Month of Love...

31 January....hooray, gaji day for me....haahaaaa......but its the end for January 2012. Time flies so much especially when your enjoying it. Dang!!!

My kids are growing up sooo fast....I feel so left out and trying my best to catch up witht them. CTer kapus kapus to follow my kids punya pace. They are so active bah.

Anyway.....my purpose today is to blog about the month of Love...February xoxo.

Who does not Love celebrating Valentine's Day. I do..in fact very much. Masa time muda2 tu kan, time cinta2 monyet gitu. So many plans this. some more darah muda. so nice to have that special someone and learning and knowing what LOVE is :)

Its so nice to receive flowers, gifts and most of all to have that special some one with you. *wink* (I can imagine suda that time muda) Sweet and very naive. and hoping that time never ends

Well, that was before and now, I finally found my special and my better half..my Husband. Its a blessing from God and I THANK GOD for granting me, my husband. He makes me smile, he gives me the giggles, he makes me special and he make me perfect in my own way. He make my heart warm when I think of him and had been there for me in my ups and down...he lends me his shoulder to cry on and light up my gloomy days.

Yes, he is always away from work but he never makes me feel far from him...we feel very near to each other. I believe that we complete each other :) God had granted us 3 beautiful babies...which makes our life even complete. Its surely a challenge but hell says life is like a bed of roses. Sometimes it can be so sweet like candies and colorful like the rainbows and once awhile, gloomy days will come..there comes the challenges. 

by the way, a shout out to my friend Angie http://blog.audeanor.com/ for her upcoming birthday  in month of February and a Happy Valentine Day to you. Thanks for inviting me to join your contest..*tia pernah sya join ah contest ;)*

Happy Lovey Dovey to everyone in February. Its not only February bah kan but its everyday (every chances that I can get)

Did I Marry The Right Person?

Marriage-DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

Those who are still single may learn something from here...

Those who are already married may take it as a guide to improve your marriage & relationship ...

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said,’ How do I know if I married the right person?'

I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, 'It depends. Is that your husband?' In all seriousness, she answered 'How do you know?'

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind.

Here's the answer.

EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse / partner . You anticipated
their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies (unconventional behavior/habit).

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience.
You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called 'falling' in love... Because it's happening TO YOU.

People in love sometimes say, 'I was swept of my feet.' Think about the imagery of that __expression. It implies
that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the
euphoria (excitement) of love fades........

It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship.
Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry
subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, 'Did I marry
the right person?' And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of
the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn
to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you
couldn't fall in love with someone
else.

You could.

And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a
few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S
LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER
just happen to you. You can't 'find' LASTING love. You have to 'make'
it day in and day out. That's why we have the __expression 'the labor of
love.' Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly,
it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific
things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your
marriage..

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity),
there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise
program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger.
It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can 'make love'.

Love in marriage is indeed a 'decision'... Not just a feeling.

My kids...

Gosh, how time flies and my kids are growing....leah is in K1 now, leevan and lana still with angel playschool...

Few days before school started, i could had just change my kids sleeping time so that they could wake up early the next day for school day....but no, I was still in the holiday mood and with my hubby/ daddy around...tidak dipedulikan.....

As I expected, I had to force leah to wake up and get ready...she was so cranky but not fussy..bless her for not making mummy stressed out that morning...when to school with her as this mummy did not turned up on registration day last mth on the 28 ;). I have a good reason for it ok. Leah was the flower girl for hubby dear cousin rudy jayasuriya's wedding which happened to be T the same day. Paid school and left the classroom. Leah was comfortBle right away with her new classmates and some old classmates from K2. ( my experience walking through the hall, kids was crying and begging for their parent...kesian o..)

Had bf with dear husband in the school canteen( so murah bah makan in school canteen) and left to fetch the other 2 for playschool...playschool started 1 dAy earlier so it was not a problem for us with leevan and lana. Lana did showed sign that she was going to burst into tears but I guess she had mix feelings and tia jadi this.

Would lve to post their pics but some how, i dnt know how to download from this ipad...well, maybe another time :).

Happy New Year

Hope its not too late to wish everyone a happy :)

I wish everyone the best and may all dreams do come true....for those who have given up will never to lose hope...for those who wish for miracles, it will happen with God' s blessing..for those who are seeking for love will find love...and those who are lost, will find God.

Happy wednesday all.....and a happy new year..xoxo

Beautiful prayer

Prayer That Brings Miracles 
This is one of the
Best prayers
I think I have ever read.miracle or not...but I think its worth reading


IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE.

I started not to do this, but as I read it....
I understood God to say,
'You need a miracle tomorrow'
so here goes...Prov. 29:25
You never know
When God is going to bless you!!

Good things happen when

You least expect them to!!!!!!!!

"Dear Almighty Lord God Jesus Christ, I thank you for this day, for this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. 

I thank you for my being able to see, and to hear, and to speak, and to feel, and to taste of Your good creation this day and every day.

I'm blessed because you are such a loving and such 
a forgiving God, and such an understanding and caring God.
You have done so much for me and yet you keep on blessing me. 
Forgive me this day for everything
I have ever done, or ever said or ever thought
That was not pleasing to you. I say I am so sorry.
I now repent and ask for your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe O God
From all danger, hurt, and harm.
Help me to start this day and every day
With a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day,
To clear my mind so that I can hear from you.
Please broaden my mind so that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper
Over things I have no control over, for all things are working together for my good and God's Glory.
And when I'm pushed beyond my limits, give me the 
best response, a response which says Alleluia, and 
Praise the Lord, and Thanks be  unto the Most 
High God Almighty, I know that when I can't 
pray, You listen to the prayer of my heart.
Continue to use me to do your will.
Continue to bless me so that I may be
A blessing to others.
Keep me strong so that I may help the weak...
Keep me uplifted so that I may have
Words of encouragement for the discouraged.
I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way, that they come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, even through this Prayer I am now praying.

I pray for those that are misjudged

Misguided, misused, and misunderstood.
I pray for those who don't know you intimately.
I pray for those who will delete this prayer
without sharing the Love of God with others
I pray for those that don't believe.
But I thank You, that I do believe
That God changes people and God changes things. 
I pray for all my sisters and brothers.
For each and every one of the family members
In their households. I pray for peace, love, and joy
in their homes; I pray that they are out of debt
And that all their financial needs are met, and they have more than enough to be a blessing to others.
I pray for every eye that reads and says this Prayer
That they come to know that there is no problem, no circumstance, no situation that is greater than God, for God is greater than all, God is greater in all, God is greater through all, and God is greater upon all. 
For God, the Most High God Almighty of all the Universes is truly the Greatest of All.

I pray for all my enemies, and those who have used me and abused me, and have lifted up their hands and their tongue against me. I now forgive them for all they have done. In Jesus Name, all my enemies are now forgiven, and I pray God forgiveness upon all my enemies, for they do know what they are doing, for I am a Child of God.

So every battle that I have ever encountered in my life is now in God's Loving hands, for You, O God  fights all my battles for me.
I pray that these words be believed, received and accepted
into the hearts of every eye that sees them
and every tongue that confesses them
in name of Jesus Christ, I pray believing, 
receiving and accepting God's miracles in my life this 
day and every day, for God's Divine favor is now my 
heritage, in Jesus Name. Amen and Amen! It is  
done! O' Praise The Lord! Alleluia! 
God Bless You!! ! ! !
Just repeat the phrase below and see how God moves!!

God I so love you and I need you. I confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, my Lord, my Savior, and my King, and I confess this day and every day that I am highly FAVORED by God and man.

Please come into my life, Lord Jesus Christ and change my heart now!
Let's take this Prayer around the World. 
You will receive a miracle tomorrow.
Don't ignore this and God will bless you.
Know that you are already blessed
By the person who sent this to you.

You never know how many people you will bring to the foot of the Cross because of you sending this e-mail out to as many people as possible, and God will say to you 'Well Done'
____________________________
CONCENTRATE ON THIS:

"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you. Something good will happen to you today, something that you have been waiting for to hear. Please repeat these 30 Words, " Almighty Jesus Christ, my Everlasting Father, walk through my house and take away all my worries and illnesses, and please watch over and heal my family in Jesus name, Amen". 

Don't stand before God empty handed. Send this out to as many people as possible now, and let this be your ministry unto God who Brings Miracles in your life today and everyday.


 

 

 

 

 

Love to share this with all my fellow friends...God don't always grant our wishes but God knows what is best for us....

Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, 'Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty.'

Then the second tree said, 'Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take Kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull.'

Finally the third tree said, 'I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest Tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me.'

After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to the first tree he said, 'This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter, 'and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.

At the second tree the woodsman said, 'This looks like a strong tree. I should be able to sell it to the shipyard.' The second tree was happy Because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.

When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, 'I don't need anything special from my tree, I'll take this one,' and he cut it down.

When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for.

The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end.

The third tree was cut into large pieces, and left alone in the dark.

The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.

Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time.

Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and He stood and said 'Peace' and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.

Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.

The moral of this story is that when things don't seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, God will give you great gifts.

Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined.

We don't always know what God's plans are for us. We just know that His Ways are not our ways, but His ways are always best.

Please keep this moving... Pass it on, so God may inspire more people on The Way.

May your day and the New Year be blessed. And until we meet again, may God cradle you in the palm of His hand.
