Working hard for us.
Jon, you look so good in this pic..so cool :)
Dear called me yesterday and shared with me on a story that really encourages me. I was faithless before, thinking of the negative and not dreaming of the impossible. But, after his encouraging testimony, I am really encouraged again especially to believe in my God that provides.

A pastor came to Singapore from Taiwan to serve God. Back in Taiwan, he has no problems financially but as Singapore works very differently, he has financial difficulties to an extend of a place to stay.
Once, he saw a place and remarked that it was nice. He prayed and asked God to provide a similar place for him to stay, and the Lord provided the same place that he remarked that was nice! It was for rent! And when he moved in, he needed furniture. The Lord also provided furniture for him through people blessing him!
Jon and I have been praying through regarding our desire to settle down. We are serious about praying through it :) Time and time again, I just felt the Lord prompting us to trust Him in His marvellous ways.
Jon has been working hard in his work, wanting to save up for our future. It pains me to see him so tired and sometimes, sleeping so late. I pray that I would be of support to him. To love and understand him. Also, to take care of him. I can be unreasonable and throw alittle tantrum here and there. But, whenever i settle down, I just kept reminding myself that if I say I love Jon, I must not "love" him with only words but actions.
Indeed because...
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
"Dear God, I pray that you will heal Jon of his stomach probs. I pray that You will protect him from viruses, fatigue and dullness. I pray that he will not work so hard that he becomes unfocus but he will be strengthened in focus, in wisdom to know and do what You have called him to do. I pray that You will open the right doors for Him as He desires to earn extra cash. I pray that You will grant him wisdom to manage his time well too.
Lord, help me to love, support and care for him and his family. I pray that I will be patient, gentle, sweet, loving, long-suffering and kind in my actions and words, that I will not be selfish but will think for him first always in whatever i say or do. I pray that my actions will honor You as You are ultimately our First in the relationship.
I trust that You will fulfill our desires in 2 years time. I am dreaming for that special night. "
In the Name of Lord Jesus' Amen
