RUS 1st BIRTHDAY: A FAMILY REFLECTION

Beating the odds in life is not easy especially without God's help. In this moment,we give thanks to the Lord our God for He lead us to this wonderful and glorious moment- Celebrating Rus first birthday. As we reminisce the past, they seems like a bad dreams. We were able to hurdle it. We will never forget those people who touched our lives. Those difficult moment, I feel God's presence more and more and how his love and miracles swipe our life and he make a difference in Rus life.

We are thankful to God because Rus is getting bigger and heavier. He is not sickly anymore. He is jovial and eats a lot.  For so long of waiting, at last, we were able to purchase a walker for him in order he can exercise his limbs. We praise you, O God, for these great and terrible things, which our eyes have seen. The strong family support plus the group of friends that never ceases to pray and help us, made us to be victorious in every difficult situations.

Celebrating Rus first birthday was a  very touching incident in our life. Although we only have a meager money at hand yet our family members initiated to realize the celebration to be worth remembering. The celebration was simple but very meaningful because we able to create a family fellowship. We praise your name God.  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: Ephesians 1:3

I had notice that through Rus, we become closer as one family. He reconstruct ways to connects the broken bridges. Although we can not deny the fact that in a family we do not have a perfect in- laws, yet the grudges in the past were slowly healed.  By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Hebrews 13:15

I praise your name, O Lord now and forever! How great are you to us.

JUST REMINICING

 I stop writing for awhile in this blog after we had visited the doctor and Rus was diagnosed with microcephaly. I did travel with my husband with the baby visiting places that somehow can ease our pain. We visited family and friends. We talk with them regarding our case. Although it is a heart breaking news but all we need is comfort.

 It was the first time for Rus to travel as far  as Laguindingan just to be with his relatives. I am solace with my husband's family as we were talking about with my son's case and our current struggles with him.I am grateful for they continue to pray for us.

I also spend  many times reading, reflecting and reading the Bible. Sometimes I may fear with my son yet I found peace with God.

Time had swept away so fast. My “O” baby had reached 11 months. It was his first time to celebrate Christmas with us. The baby whom the doctor wants to be terminated had gone far already in our hands through God's mercy and strong support group of the public.

We also expose our son to the public by bringing him to special occasions like the employees Christmas party of my spouse. We give thanks to the company whom my hubby work with for their untarnished support to our son especially those  difficult times. They were  happy too considering the boy had grown well. Towards the end of the program, the company will always have a raffle for all the staff. And lo! we were surprise for it was the SECOND TIME that my husband bring home the GRAND PRIZE again. They said, ever since we had this "o" baby; my hubby is getting luckier and luckier. It is God's grace that bring him luck to us. Indeed, he is a lucky baby.


When the 2013 is about to end, I had launched also a home base childcare-tutorial catering children aging 2 to 3 years old. Through these children,I had implemented the curriculum for play group or toddler which I had long created. Although I will not expect a full blown result because of  my current business location is not belong to a elite group of people in the society. Anyway,  for least, this endeavor had click for a start.

Everything that we do, we offer it to the Lord for he is the one that will bless us. I pray that all we plan and work for, specially of opening a business, may God will bless us.
