Good News

It has been almost 3 months of my tai-tai days. I do enjoy this break. Have been able to catch up on my reading and take my time to surf the net. Still have not get around to viewing all the movies and HK drama serials videos but am starting to. I always thank God for the luxury of being able to wake up in the morning whenever I like, without having to go through the morning rush of going to work, and certainly the unhurried time I have in reading His word each morning.

I have been more active in church as well. Been attending the Ladies Groups weekly Meetings. Basically, there are 2 groups - Asian (mostly Chinese) and Ang Mos. These ladies are all wives of working husbands, and they themselves either have children to look after or are not working. I continued to attend the Healing & Restoration Room, as well as the Life Group every week with hubby.

Sometimes while walking around in malls (especially when wondering if I was wasting my time away or starting to feel bored), I suddenly realised how blessed I am - to be able to not work and be financially stable, to be able to shop during those hours and not having to shover with the weekend crowds. I thank God for blessing hubby in his job. Though Dubai is debt ridden, yet God kept hubby in his job.

As a matter of fact, I almost return to my ex-company to work. They wanted me back after learning that I will be staying in Dubai for still some time. However in the midst of it, they faced financial challenges from the developer (which is typical in Dubai nowadays) and decided to cut back on manpower costs. Well, maybe it's God's will for me not to return.

So, is that good news or what? The good news is not about job, though I did manage to attend more interviews than previously in Dubai. The good news which I discovered days ago, is that I am now pregnant! Earlier on, I was musing with a friend about whether I might be pregnant. She said that if I am expecting, this would be the best Christmas gift! Another friend even calculated the dates and said on the day I celebrated my birthday in December, I was already pregnant! Never quite thought of that...

God is so good. Hubby and I just started family planning a few months ago. Though God has given us a name for our child a year or so ago, He has been gracious to wait for us to be ready and can't wait to pour forth His blessings, long prepared for His beloved children.

Now, perhaps God did have a plan for me not to work during this period after all! :D
