20111127 I Asked the Lord..

^{2 Thessalonians 2:5} Brothers and sisters, stand firm. Hold on to what we taught you. We passed our teachings on to you by what we preached and wrote.

What is my role as a mother?  Do it by the Book.  Who can better teach me how if not The Writer himself.  He is more than willing to teach me but on one condition that I allot a certain time for Him each day.  Thus, it is I do as told even not so willingly at times I must confess.  If it all should depend on my ability to learn, I know for sure that a lifetime will never be enough.  My Father in Heaven will make perfect all that I have done by faith so the Holy Spirit just told me. For this reason, there is only one thing I need to do which is to come to Him each day, and wait. 

20111120 Thank You, Diana.

Awakened by a call at 9am this morning.

The number indicated a long distance call from Taipei.

In a very beautiful accent the caller said, "Hello,is this B..?"

"Yes, may I know who's calling please?" I said.

"This is Diana."

"I only know of two Dianas.  The Diana and the little girl Diana."

A slight hesitation at the other end...

Certain that she must be the little girl Diana and the only Diana I've known,

I said,"Tell me where we got acquainted."

"S St." she said.

"Yes, you are the little girl Diana."

I also talked to her mom.

The hour on the phone brought back memories.

Recollections dated back 20 years ago.

I got to thank her mom for the support she has given me.

I got to thank her for entrusting me with the task of getting 

her precious little one to read.

I am so blessed.  Six years with a child is more than I can ask for.

She is now teaching.

I now have someone to refer to when asked about TOEIC & TESOL.

20111117 Here Today

20111117 Here Today

Four windows and a balcony.
Potted plants my company.
Plants that crave not much attention
Yet abundant their provision.

Plants that greet me each new day
Plants that talk as if to say,
"Look at me, I'm here today.
Enjoy my grandest display."

More time I tend to you this day
Then I heard the voice that says
"Isn't it fun working with me?"
"Yes, my Lord," I pray
"This is what life is meant to be."

My Lord requires not much of me,
Just to know He's there each day
Seeking my time for company
Our hearts in harmony.
