Little Man

Happy 29th month, little man! Everyday, Daddy and Mommy thank God for you.

Here's to more corners to explore, things to discover, rocks to collect, chairs to climb, food to taste, toys to take apart, songs to sing, cars to race, fire trucks to collect, walls to write on, words to say and more and more and more! May the world continue to be your classroom. You are Mommy's favorite student. :-)

"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." (Quote from Love You Forever by Robert Munsch)

Moving Out

In eight days, we will be leaving this lovely place we've called home for the past 3 years. We will miss this apartment. This place and this community has truly been a blessing. We moved in as a couple and we are leaving with our little man in tow.



I'm sure Jethro will miss his play area. He will miss having all that space for his tornado-like-play-activities. :-)

Walking on Water

It has been more than two years since our last blog post.

We are still living and working in Los Banos, Laguna and Jethro is now two years old.

But our family is on the brink of a new adventure.

It has taken us over a year of prayer and discussion to come to this point in our family life. It has been a difficult decision to make but we have God's peace and we are confident about this new direction we are taking.

After six years with Brent, Grace will be putting her career on hold as she takes on full-time mommyhood for our two-year old, Jethro. Herbert, on the other hand, will be going back to full-time work.

This decision will have a major effect on our family life as Grace's job at Brent has provided us with a very ideal "comfort zone" during the past 4 years of our marriage. But the Lord has patiently assured us of His leading and He has enveloped us with peace during the past few months. So, though we are unsure about what our future will bring us, our confidence and trust is in the Lord.

These days we take comfort in Peter's example and we are "walking on water" with our eyes fixed upon our Lord.

One step of faith at a time, one day in His grace at a time.

Please join us in prayer as we face this new adventure:
1. We praise God for providing us with a reasonably priced apartment to move to in June. Please pray for a hassle-free transfer to this apartment.
2. Pray for God's provision of a vehicle that we can use (or buy) since the car we currently have is a company car. We will be car-less by June 30.
3. Pray for our finances as we adjust to being a single-income household.
4. Pray for stability regarding Herbert's job.
5. Pray for good health for all of us.
