It has been a week or so now, since my husband announced that we as a family would be going to Singapore to start life there...oh yes, I didn't tell you why the sudden change of mind on his part? I do not know exactly when he set his mind to it, but it is final, he is coming with us...Yipeee!!!! However, it is not an easy task, the family would be bound for uncharted waters, have to rely on our gotten gains and skills to build a similar comfort we are leaving behind. The good and sure thing is, Jesus is in the boat with us:)
Anyway, things haven't been looking that good for people accepting the news, but not for my part of the family...they all think that an education for the girls in Singapore is far more beneficial than whatever you can find here...the person who seem to be affected most is Dr Jekyll and Ms Hyde....you know who....MIL.
Some of the earlier reactions...(coming in this order) skeptical: "are you sure you can find a job there", self-pity "the kids are still so young.."sob sob, followed by completely snubbing me of course (cause she thinks I am the one who is behind this), not eating what I cook and not giving me more than one look....but SO WHAT! I can sleep soundly at night knowing that I am doing my part, the more she don't want to eat my cooking, the more I try to put effort in my cooking for her....the more she is in self-pity, the more I try to make our last days joyful....I am not going to take offense about her childish actions..let her be what she is, maybe that is why they say you can never make ducks into swans unless they are swans in the first place. I will not try to change her but I pray that God would help me handle her....perhaps I have this point of view cause I now see the light at the end of the tunnel...
But yes, God has a time for everything, and I am thankful that my husband is coming with us this 'time'.....Thank you Lord, for the lighter view of life....let me learn to continually cast my burdens unto You....
