painful correction

Cruel it may seem as the child cries to sleep, however painful it is in the heart of the mom who loves the child.

I don't know if I have done the right thing. Don't even know was it a problem with the child refusing to sleep or has it got to do with the child wanting to be carried to sleep. Therefore I left the child to crying after some time of coaxing him to sleep.

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in a way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 23:13 Do not withhold correction from a child, for if you beat him with a rod, he will not die.
 

Ben, Mommy wants to tell you this,
Proverbs 3:11-12 My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, nor detest His correction; for whom the LORD loves He corrects, just as a father the on in whom he delights.

"Daddy God, give me wisdom to handle your children that I will do the right thing at the right time."

I am a mom

Find it really hard to maintain a blog.

Was just looking through the title of my blog, "A brand new season".

Indeed, it is another brand new season for me.

One year after marriage, I have become a mum.

By the grace and mercy of God, not only have I become a mum of 1, but 2 boys. Yes! I have given birth to a pair of non-identical twins. It wasn't in my family line to have twins. Therefore it is a shock when we first discover 2 fetus in the scan. 

Pregnancy was hard initially though I did not have much pregnancy symptoms as one would normally experienced except for extreme fatigue. Fell into severe condemnation as a result of tiredness limiting me in performing my role effectively as a worker and a wife. Had to soak myself in the word of God. A verse that I held on dearly during my pregnancy is "My grace is sufficient for you, my strength is made perfect in weakness." This verse has held on to me throughout my pregnancy and indeed, I found supernatural strength to continue with daily life activities.

Gave birth to 2 boys, Dave and Ben on the 15th Feb 2013, weighing 2.1kg and 2.4 kg respectively.

The birth of the children was a joy but also the start of another nightmare. The endless cry with helplessness as a young parent. Numerous visits to the polyclinic for blood test due to jaundice. Felt as though I was serving a sentence as movement was confine to within the boundaries of a house.

However, I never regretted having these 2 children. They are my pride and joy. The thing I love most every morning is to see them smile. The "hard work" in exchange for a smile is all worth it!
