Bible verse for today

1 Thessalonians 5:16-22

16Rejoice always. 17Pray without ceasing. 18In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. 19Don't quench the Spirit. 20Don't despise prophesies. 21Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. 22Abstain from every form of evil.

Another Goal to Achieve

When we attended our Sunday service yesterday, our Pastor asked us if we have mastered at least 1 verse in the bible and had been following and doing it in our lives. I thought about one bible verse but I don't know the verse number. It was to "always pray without ceasing". I have to look it up in my bible and put it here. That's the verse that I want to master, to pray always and without ceasing. Though sometimes, I forgot to pray before bedtime and when I wake up, I still pray when I am on my way to work, when I'm in the bathroom, when I am thinking of a lot of things and others.

Another goal to achieve is to post bible verses at least once a day here in my blog and to master and memorize them by heart. I will start this tomorrow.

The hyper kid

Amber loves to walk around the house and outside. She knows where her slippers are placed and she always point her finger there when she wants to go outside and when you asked her, "Where's your slippers?". Funny baby.

This morning, Jerwin noticed that she was so wet and her diaper leaked! She was bathing on her own weewee! But she's a good girl, she didn't cry and we changed her clothes right away. While I was changing her nappy, I asked her, "Buti hindi ka umiyak?" then she started a fake cry. Sweet girl.

I noticed that she always say the word "daddy" and she is very talktative. We can't understand her but I know she's always making kwento with everything that she sees. She also saw Dora the Explorer from the Minnie and Mickey mouse stickers we bought yesterday and she always point Dora's picture. We paste Dora's picture on the alphabet chart we posted in our wall and paste it on letter D. So everytime we asked her, "where's Dora?" She'll point to where Dora is. Intelligent kid.

Goal #1: Celebrate Amber's 1st Birthday

Amber's turning 1 this September 1. Our original plan was to invite friends, coworker, and family. When I was doing the lists of guests, I came to a total of almost 80! I freaked out! What we want is to celebrate Amber's birthday hassle-free. So we have decided to have a simple celebration for her. We will bring her to a pool where she can enjoy swimming, she always love the water. This will be the 2nd time she will be in a pool on her 2-piece bathing suit. We will stay there for 1-2 hours max and it will only be me, Jerwin and Amber.

After lunch, we will prepare the food for the kids who will be coming. We will only invite family members, sisters of Jerwin, my brothers and sister and all of Amber's cousins. We will prepare Spaghetti (I will cook this!), hotdog on stick with marshmallows, ice cream, fried chicken, bread, juice and lumpia. The cake will be given by Amber's ninong Rod and Ninang Cheryl.

I am still thinking of buying "pabitin" for the kids and giving candies to them. I made a banner with minnie mouse bow on it. I will post a picture of it after Amber's birthday. I am also going to buy mickey mouse balloons. Amber loves Mickey Mouse so much!

I actually created an invitation for her birthday and I have a draft here on my computer. This is how it looks like. I just had to change the font to Walt Disney.

We will buy the balloons this weekend and will print the banner as well. If anything will be added, i'll update this.

Amber's Random Photos

Here are some of Amber's photos saved here on my work computer.

Sick no more!

Thank God! When I arrived home yesterday, Amber is feeling well. She's not coughing like she did for 2 straight days. I think the medicines for AR (allergic rhinitis) worked, especially the PRAYERS. I prayed for her the night before I left for work. It is indeed powerful!

But Amber's been so grumpy for the past days. She would cry for so many reasons and doesn't want to sleep even when she looks very tired and sleepy. Yesterday when I was taking care of her, she cries for no reason, and would not stop unless you carry her and bring her out of the house. I wonder what's wrong with her. Her mood's not ggood these past few weeks.
