tired mom

7:00 o`clock p.m. (sunday) feeling exhausted after i led the last person to the gate. The last one to leave our house and the church...

very tiring day. ...... and this terrible headache.

The neighborhood children attending our sunday school are quite a handful. Bunch of naughty kids. They always try my patience... they are capable of driving me mad...magagalit ka muna bago susunod. If you will let them, they will try their hands on all of our instruments, run from the church to our dining room, kitchen - back and forth. ah, ewan! We fed them with "sopas" today. Their favorite. The older kids kept coming into the kitchen for more.. I have to tell them over and over again that one full bowl is enough for one person, and showing them the empty pots para magsitigil na. I understand these children are hungry and never get enough food all their life. kawawa din....

Had a wonderful service. We were able to raise half of the amount needed for the 2 months down payment of this property we are presently using as church and pastoral house. Our 5-year leash contract just expired last month and we again signed for another 15 yrs. to stay. The owner demanded 2 month advance payment, so that`s where our 60,000k would go. Half pa lang na-raise namin..... we have until January 8,2008 to complete the payment.

In the coming months, we have plans to renovate. The roof would have to be the priority... and from there little by little as God supplies..

The owner of the big house next to ours, surprisingly sent over their cook this morning before the service started and brought some food for all of us to eat during lunch time. `la lang. Nabi-bless daw sila sa pakikinig tuwing may worship. Napapakinggan pala nila ang service namin. Akala namin walang tao palagi ung bahay na yun. Tahimik, ni walang lumalabas sa veranda nila. We asked them if we could conduct a bible study in their house and they said we could anytime we want to.. Said they would love to learn the songs we are singing!! Praise God...

well, i don`t have much to say for today - except that i feel awfully tired and sleepy. I had a long afternoon and would like to call it a day as soon as i posted this blog entry. Halos hindi ko na makita `tong ginagawa koH!
ohh, i talked to mother this morning. She called from vancouver. She sounded happy....... and michelle was there with her. Drove from Kent, washington purposedly to spend the weekend with her. Magkasundo yong dalawa, hehehe!!

Happy holidays guys. I don`t usually make a fuss on celebrating christmas but I always love cooking a special meal for the family on christmas eve. La lang. thanksgiving dinner. Just love the togetherness with my beloved "babies" and hubby. My children, though quite grown-ups now and call themselves mature individuals will always be kids in my sight.
Hey, if you plan to have something for me, you have enough time to think about it. Until new year friends ha, and all of January, haahaaha!!

dave is still in Malaysia. We have received praise reports from the recent youth camp. Next week, he is attending the DCD conference. Be home on the 16th.. I always miss my kid everytime. Will never outgrow the feeling. I guess all mothers do.
