A not so Quick Update

I realised the frequency of blog entries have reduced tremendously :) I thought it will be nice for me have a quick update of the youngest and smallest Mok unit. Kel found a job about 3-4 weeks ago and its really a taste of God's faithfulness. We Thank God for His wonderful and timely provision though we drag ourselves out of bed almost every morning. Haha looks like we still have got heaps to get used to especially the 6am mornings. By His grace, we're getting there.

Each week therefore passes by very quickly. Most days i tag along Kel and reach work 7'ish, try to get home earlier on Mondays to get the week set, do up the overflowing laundry, cook (cooking extra for some days of the week so that we don't have to eat out), clean the house, do some groceries check etc etc. Some days of the week i leave later and cook dinner in the morning and hitch a ride back from Kel at about 5.30pm. Other than mondays, most other nights of the week would be mainly meeting up with people for shepherdings, meetings, and worship practices. So Mondays are actually really important, once i can get most household things sorted out, the rest of the week is more of a breeze. Weekends are usually meeting up with people in the morns, some groceries shopping and some R and R time plus preparing of Sundays. Last weekend we had a great JG advance, a good refreshing time with God and the rest of the JGs, a great fun time. And just like that, we have entered into October, less than 2 mths b4 2008.
Rambling on, i realised I havent shared much of the Hub. Kel, is working harder than me, his working hours are longer but God is building platforms of growth for him and he is getting there surely! Ya, he is sometimes a 'dead dog' when he is back but heheh still picks up the handheld vacuum cleaner (thanks mom, it was really helpful!) and cleans up the bathroom and knicks and corners of our tiny aprt. Thank God, its a small place. But ya, shows how much he cares since he knows how i'll start picking up the Vac if i were to spot a couple strands of hair on the floor. He also listened through drooping eye lids for my 30000 quota of words to finish, yes i am one of those who rants on about the day b4 i sleep. Last night, after coming back from a worship prac, i felt like a 50 yr old, back ache, tired and sleepy, he asked me to take a rest while he cleaned up the rest, printed out some stuffs we needed and next he found, i was snoozing away. I half opened my eyes and said i was hungry, and the next moment was ice cream in bed. what a treat :)

Anyway, i think over the weeks, we have learnt to support each other more and i experienced of the concept of 1 + 1 > 2. We shared our thoughts on various matters in ministry, nudged each other when we are detracting, and encouraging each other to be stretched beyond our tents. Its working slowly, but surely. On the whole, God is definitely toughening us up.

So much for an update ... I don't have much pictures to post, most recent is the meal that i whipped up last night. Thank God for a lift from a colleague yesterday, i could get home slightly earlier, whip something up b4 Kel got home and b4 we both headed for our stuffs. I am normally a Chinese food person, but decided on western: Seafood Marinara Fettuccine and Russian Borsht (Estella: remember??)


Borsht - Pork ribs instead of ox-tail

Seafood Marinara Fettuccine with heaps of purple onions that made our breath stink for the night


Last remnants of Borsht for breakfast @ 6.30am. Dunked with Garlic bread which i am still digesting now ... slurp
