Doulos with family

I went to visit MV Doulos again. This time bringing my mom, she wanted to go since Doulos was here but because i'm not free... :D

Well, Doulos is leaving this Monday, that's why i want to bring mom there. And thank God that He gave me time free... (suppose to have preteen cell group today but i told Andrew and Phebe, i'm going to bring sis for eye check-up in the morning in the hospital and everything went well, so i have extra time to bring family to Doulos)

Pic 1: Before going up to Doulos ship, there are some performances...

Pic 2: Family at Doulos

Pic 3: Mom on the ship

Pic 4: Aarr... i miss the sea... (*going diving soon though ;p *)

Pic 5: Books... cheap...

This round of Doulos visits are better than the previous one with my preteens. This time, i get to go through each book rack and found myself few cheap books. Those books are indeed very cheap.

Pic 6: Paying the bills. Note that the casher is a german. I was so tempted to stay on the ship and be a missionary and follow Doulos to go all around the world!!!!

Pic 7: Very colourful pic... :D

Goodbye MV Doulos, see you in few years time!

Awesome Picture

The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems,

but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.

He is Faithful

When i'm down at the pit, there's where He showed Himself faithful.

It is really a hard time for me and my family because of my mom's insecure position at work. On top of that, dad has cut down half of our allowances since 3 months ago i think so our financials are quite tight. Mom have been searching around for new jobs and i was having this thought of going for a part time job. Obviously all this thing will make me stress up a lot and this is the time that i can't make rasional decision. In fact, the Lord had taught me to trust in Him since last week's devotion but yet, when problems comes, it's really very difficult to put all your trust in Him. My dl had been trying hard to explain that part time is not for me since my new job has taken a lot of my time. I can't be working day and night, this will kill me.

God is good, all the time. I know He is in control because i felt peaceful when mom first told me that her colleague wanted to kick her out of the company. Sure enough, today, my boss decided to increase my salary. God is always on time, He will never be too early or too late. This increment is a sign that God cares.

"I love you mom. Don't worry, dl and i will always be there to take care of everything."

**Thank you Daddy in Heaven**
