Start of 2008

Today, I have decided to starting blogging. This is to write all my thoughts and use it to keep improving myself.

This year 2008 is a great headstart as there is a few major plans that my hubby and I have decided to do. 1. To have more time doing quiet time and be with God. 2. Move back to our own home and learn to be on our own. 3. Complete the series of Marathon runs that I desired. 4. Attend Christian conference in Korea.

1. To have more time doing quiet time and be with God.
To do this we must have more time and space of our own. So by move back to our humble house might help. Try to not sleep but catch up with learning God's word in my long journey to work is a great challenge, but I will try. Flushing out unhealthy soul food (eg. less worldly music) is another vital point to get nearer to God.

2. Move back to our own home and learn to be on our own.
This is another great and bold move. Having stayed many years with my in laws, I might have drained their energy very much in terms of housekeeping and babysitting. So by moving back to my own home gives them more rest and create Quality instead of quantity time with my children. I hope that brings even better bonds between them in future. This also help my hubby and I get closer when we do more things on our own.

3. Complete the series of Marathon runs that I desired.
I hope to complete my first 42 km run this yearend. I planned to work towards 15km, 21 km and slowly 42km. Not only for the fun of it, but to also collect T-shirts given by these run ( some of them are quite nice). That means I have to run even more then I do now.

4. Attend Christian conference in Korea.
Most of my friends travel leisurely and collect lots of 'value for money' items. As for me, this trip, I have to be on quite a budget and fast for 3 days. Sounds funny rite! I went for this conference in 2004. And gain lots of 'spiritual income', I hope to elaborate this more later. And this year even though our budget is very tight but we hope to go in faith again.

God, grant more strength to still take of my family and complete these goals for 2008.
