Jennifer's little Isaac Sim

 

 

Baby Sim is 8 MONTHS already!!!  Haaaaaaaaaave a guess how we spent his 8 month Month-day ...

 

At the DOCTORS!!

 

haa haaaaa...  Its the first time Isaac has gotten sick.. and Im sorry to say but it is SO CUTE to see him get a shock from his own Typhonic sneezes and lung-out-splatting coughs..  hee heee...  (heartless.. i know... but its just really FUNNY!!) Isaac was alittle confused to why milk came out of the Nose after he coughed and sneezed at the same time and he CRIED!!  I just came to realised that for me, if baby gets sick its not so much the sickness nor the fever nor the runny boogers - cos really thru all of these babies get stronger - its more the PROJECTILE style Milk and baby food PUKES from a chesty cough!!!  and the endless, endless trips to the shower and stripping him from vomit-caked clothes.  :D  Today I got too sick of changing him from head to toe I tied a baby bath towel around his NECK.  !!! (ABsolute genius!!!)  Isaac looked he was forever waiting for a haircut.  Plus he was too lethargic to fight off this ridiculous towel.  He just quietly sat there buying his mum-given fate for the day. haa haaaaa... 

 

and.  Wow..  WHAT an incredible journey!!  WHAT an experience to be a mum!! To have baby laugh at you, and with you, seeing him grow, letting him experiences all the kisses from Daniel and myself.  Buying things for baby is also a new experience for me.  An experience where there are times prices are not considered in the transactions.  Like buying $36 per kilo of Organic Beef and ~$20 a kilo of Organic chicken mince.  But then there are times you want to save money and get a bargain - just like the thermometer which I got from EBAY!  It is actually quite important to get a good digital ear thermometer that gives you accurate readings.  Mine gives one to one and a half degree differences on temperatures!  37degrees is normal and 38 is doctors material for infant's temperature and so dear thermometer I need you to be alittle more accurate than a range from 36.9 to 38.4..  if not i'm going to sell you BACK on ebay!  Cooperate!  Cooperate!!

 

Great.  I'm talking to a thermometer.

 

But life has been quite busy.  I've been trying to help Daniel with his business (more at accounts... marketing.. data entrying...  DEBT collecting.. ) and it has been filling my days.  I used to think stay-home mums must be so free and do nothing counting clouds the whole day.  Misconception misconception!!

 

Ok.  :D.  My typical day looks like this: 

I ususally wake up at ~ 7 am from baby's noises from the baby monitor.  AFter feeding him his first 240mls of Milk its time for his Big -Business for the first time in the day.  (and usually have my morning talk with God in the middle of doing all these things - totally one way communication!!)  Then it's play time and then "My Baby can Read" DVD watching time while I feed him his first baby foods for the day.  Menu of today?  Organic chicken mince porridge cooked with sweet potato, potato, tomato, carrot and Bean-sprout leaves. 

By ~9:30 baby goes back for his first nap for usually 1 1/2 hours.

When baby is sleeping its usually cooking time for daniel and my breakfast.  Cook, eat, clean and wash all the baby bottles.. sometimes laundry/ housework.. and sometimes baby food cooking.

 

When baby wakes up again around 11:00 its time for his 2nd 240mls of milk.  Then it'll be change nappy time, lots of play time, reading time, chewing on his stuffed toys and rattle doing nothing time while mum cooks lunch and dad busily work on his computer.  He has a real funny inquisitive look when he looks at Daniel and myself eating our lunches too!  Then Isaac'll have his 2nd baby food before he goes back to bed at around 2:30 ..3:00.

 

During baby's nap sometimes I go to the shops to get some stuff at times I have a little nap myself!

 

And after baby wakes up about 4:30 it's time to start on his 3rd and last bottle of milk.  And after plenty of play and Skypeing with my parents in HK Isaac usually rubs his eyes and ears to indicate he is sleepy.  So by about 6:00 baby Sim goes upstairs to start bathing, quiet play time before his sleep at about 7 pm.

 

Then?!?  Dinner time for me and hubby!!  Cook, enjoy our food, clean.  Computer work/ chatting time.  Have a good Quiet Time.  And afterthat, another good quiet, sleep time!

 

The End!  Man that was long.

 

And hopefully in the very near future I 'll see a Mothers Bible Study group up and running in Jesus' Name.  AMEN!  and till next time.  Enjoy Isaac's videos on YouTube!  http://www.youtube.com/user/is151206

 

__________________________________________________________________________________________

 

What is your life? You are a

mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.

Naked

I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart.  What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the

sin of my soul?

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.  The wages, OUR consequences of our sins, is death.

But yet - Jesus came to save his people from their sins.  The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.  God so loved the world that He Jesus His son.  That whosoever will believe in Him will not die but have eternal life.

For

to all who received Jesus, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God-

Confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

Jesus gives peace to a world without peace.

He gives LIFE to a world of people who lives but are not alive.

Jesus Himself is the answer to all who seek after inanimate carved images who have eyes but don't see, ears that don't hear, mouth that don't speak for they are but idols made by man.  

I pray that to all who doubts in Jesus, that He Himself will allow you a journey into the reality of life after death.  Like the many others who have been graced to witness the eternal punishment and fire in hell and been brought to see the glory and splendor of the eternal and everlasting heaven. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What does it mean to live for God?

 

Can a true relationship with God not make a pact with the Great Commission?

 

As my favourite evangelist Reinhardt Bonke once said,

a church that does not save the lost is lost themselves.

 

I'll say that a christian who does not seek the lost to fulfil the Great Commission, become lost themselves.

 

Lost in blessings.  Lost in comfort.  Lost in waiting for God's burning bush call.  Lost in the world of emotions where we want to 'feel' it when God has called us to share.  Lost in just praying and singing about the lost but letting others to do the work.  Lost in the world where one becomes irrelevant and one who lives only in the Holy huddle.  Lost in excuses and procrastination.  Lost in mediocrity, indifference and in the true value and significance of why Jesus died and who He died for.  Lost in the belief that one is so blessed when really, the true taste of heaven comes from the unspeakable joy of seeing the lost being found again.

 

Its like a young man whose father has paid a big sum of money to purchase a shopping center and asked the son to work inside.  Once inside, the boy looks around and begin fasinated with all the different giftwares, and clothes, and toys and day after day, he returns to the shopping complex to do the same thing, enjoying himself.  When his brother saw this, he asked the boy why is he not doing what his father asked him to do?  The boy answers, I haven't heard exactly which department my father wants me to start.  Nor have I heard he tell me when I should start work.  And also, I'm still waiting for him to tell me how to do it all.  And besides, incase I do it all wrong anyways, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, just incase I get into trouble.  When the father returned, the father gave the brother more departments to look after, and drove the young man out from the work. 

 

The servants in the bible who made money with the talents they were given had a reward from the master.  But really, the reward was actually MORE Work.  And true.  The harvest is plentiful and the work is GREAT.  A true servant for God does not get 'worried' as Jesus ask why Martha was, but they do get busy.  Which of the man of God listed in the bible was ever recorded sitting around measuring their foot doing nothing??  I am convinced that when one gets right into the businesses of God, one do get busy. 

The young man in the story was still in the shopping center where the father has called him.  He's just not doing anything right in it.  He's enjoying himself, yes.  Enjoying the luxury and the benefits that the father's shop was giving him.  But he neglected the blatantly obvious work in front of him.  When a Christian becomes distracted with blessings, comfort, 'timing' and waiting and more waiting, but what God truely called us to do, one becomes lost and at the end may also be punished in the same way.  How scary is THAT?  Not saying enjoying all the things God has to offer in His book of blessings is wrong, but to balance it all, God has called us to love Him and to love others, and to fulfill the Great Commission.    

 

A church without mobilising their people into the Great Commission is weak.  And will never truly grow. 

A church that is more concerned with their people's comfort and 'resting' in God and neglects to persuade for the labour of the Great Commission is one that I cannot tolerate with, deep within. 

 

Incomparable, is the joy when God touches one who accepts Him into their lives.

Splendorously  meaningful, is to be God's mouthpiece, and eventually to witness a life experiencing Christ.

Unmeasureable is the Love of God to the Lost.

And Great, is the the calling of God to every follower of Christ, in the hope that, one day, some will truely follow.
