Something to look forward

Yesterday, thanks to my colleague, I got a free ride near home. Since I got a ride, I though of looking around Toa Payoh to get some breakfast this morning.

As a mother, I worry about waking my girl up on time so that everyone will not be late for work. Bliss (my elder girl) sleeps late like past 12 midnight and therefore makes a din most of the mornings. Since I have to travel all the way to the west, so I left Bliss in the hands of my patient hubby to get her to school. So since then my hubby is late for work every morning for more than an hour. Bliss had also since then begging me (with tears at times) every night to bring her to school instead . Last Jan, my project started to slow down with less late nights. And my heart tells me that I have to do something to get my hubby out of this cycle.

I took initiative to wake her up and settle her routines. That has caused me to be late for work the first few mornings, but my boss and colleagues are really nice (did not complain much). After 1 week, both my girls got used to eariler night and early mornings. I thank God as this is one step closer to moving back on our own house. Pray that this will go on.

To encourage Bliss every morning, I try different ways. One of them is to have "Surprising Breakfast"; I will try to get something new and nice. Such that when she wakes up, she will be more than willing to quickly brush her teeth. I also try to play games with her while waking her up.

Zest (my younger girl) is also very happy if she wakes up early as I will BF her a bit before she goes to her nanny's place. And she loves to wear her shoes and walk to her nanny place with us. More bonding with my hubby and me too.

I find that Humans all need something to look forward to. That goal must be set right, and have to be constantly decided to do them right with a price most of the time. With me scarificing a bit (actually a lot, 615am leh) of sleep, makes everyone looks forward to the next morning.

I remember one of my goals this year. I will try to read more scriptures on the MRT, and do look forward to have a deeper relationship with GOD. I want to press on heavenwards, at whatever price to get the prize.

Phi 3:12
12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
