Everything's Right

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Mother's Day was a couple of days ago...

I wanted to write a post for Mother's day but *sigh* we were so busy the whole mother's day weekend...

Better late than never right? 

:D

Most of the people I know would always argue that THEY have the best moms in the world... :)

Their moms cook the BEST food, give the BEST advice... etc

Although I do realise that my mom has her own weaknesses

Yet I would also argue that she would win the GREATEST MOM award...

SERIOUSLY!

My mom grew up as the eldest in a family with a majority of girls (like mine)

and she always thought us that GIRLS can do everything a boy can do...

My mom is literary the house doctor, painter, carpenter, electrician, plumber, mechanic,

ie. she pumps the petrol, checks the car, paints the gate, fix the lights, and the pipes etc.

and on TOP of that she does all the 'girly' stuff as well...

she sews, she cuts hair, she COOKS!!!!!

Brought up 6 children!! and still keeps her job!

So yah!

I was brought up in an environment where due to the LACK of boys (which is so unlike darrel's family) we had to help paint the gate, fix the mosquito netting, wash the car, and carry heavy stuff!!!

I feel awfully pampered here in Melbourne cuz there are so MANY boys in this family - i actually can't remember the last time I helped carry the shopping!! it somehow is always the boy's job...

But anyways, a big thank you to my mummy for her constant prayers, her support, love and all the years of encouragement - silently letting us know that you care and you support us in every decision we make... I know you are always a phone call away to lend a listening ear and I could always find comfort in your prayers...

Thank you for setting an example as a God fearing woman, teaching us to trust God and His ways,

Thank you for encouraging us to grow as a FULL person, letting us get our motorcycle licence, letting me learn drums even when it wasn't very lady like at that time :)

I really appreciate all that you and daddy have sacrificed all these years for the 6 of us!!!

I LOVE YOU and have a very Happy belated Mothers Day!!!

:D

Dear God

Dear God I wrote this letter,

To put my thoughts on paper,

Sometimes life seems like a criminal,

Without a well planned caper

I know Youre the answer,

But I forget the question,

How do I know You love me,

When no one else, seems to care

Ive tried everything I thought,

Might help me understand things,

And it didnt tell me anything,

Or even play my heart strings

So Im writing You this letter,

To wait for Your reply,

I am so tired, of not believing,

Ill give You a try

I dont know, but I got this feeling,

That todays gonna be my turning point,

Everyday I get a little bit closer,

It feels so good to finally be over

I dont know, but I think Im learning,

This type of thing,

Never been my calling card,

Sometimes you just gotta look closer,

Instead of searchin so hard

So when I start to get down,

And the world fills up around me,

And my head starts

Spinnin like a top,

From the way my heart beats pounding

I can look up for a second,

And know that Im alright,

I spent so long, not believing,

Its my turn to fly

I dont know, but I got this feeling,

That todays gonna be my turning point,

Everyday I get a little bit closer,

It feels so good to finally be over

And I dont know, but I think Im learning,

This type of thing, never

Been my calling card,

Sometimes you just gotta look closer,

Instead of searchin so hard
