These days I've been having moments of sudden revelation and insight. Here are two of them:
1) As I was watching Jayna sleeping peacefully in her playpen, I remember how I used to love carrying other people's babies and wished for one of my own. Old habits die hard and for an instant, I was strangely wishing that the sweet girl there belongs to me. It then hit me that she's really mine to hold and cherish. What's more, she's the second one!
God germinated in me a vision many years ago of having 4 lovely children and I'm already half-way there. It sure feels surreal that in a short span of time (about 2 and half years) of my marriage, I've become a mother of two. What's even more amazing is that God had granted the hope that my first born would be a son, followed by a daughter! Yet, I somehow feel as though it's such a natural thing for me to be their mother. It is truly part of the purpose of my life...
2) I've become much more prayerful as I realized that my Holy-spirit prompted instinct is to talk to God about it whenever I face a problem. It is hardly because I've become more godly or whatsoever. It is because I've become more and more aware of my need for God and His guidance. I can do my part as a steward of my children by researching on the best method to raise them but it is only God who can cause them to respond well to the teaching and training. I've also become even more firm in my belief in the power of prayer from the corporate body of Christ and it is such a joy to see how God answers when we approach Him in the name of Jesus! Hallelujah!

Psalm 127:3&4
"Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one’s youth."

Philippians. 4:6
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
