I Love My Daughters

It starts feeling like Spring here – some of our daffodils and tulips coming out of the ground, wonderful breeze and my daughter T-Ball practice has started 😀 Just cannot wait to see more of the colors of the flowers!

Every day when I count my blessings, I count my husband and daughters twice, or may be triple. I love them more each day. We have our ups and downs, but God always help me to see that He has blessed more than I can imagine.

Yesterday, we had our downs. I cried with my daughters when they were disciplined. I cried with them when they were sad. I prayed with them and asked God to heal their wounds and give them new hearts that love Him more.

And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. – Ezekiel 36:26

I believe in this God’s promise that He is the one will give them new hearts, new spirits. He will give them the hearts to love Him and obey Him, the Holy Spirit in them to guide them in the Truth and to follow His directions.

I am just a mama. I realize that one day they will be away from me, but God, God is the only one I can trust who will be with them always and ever. He is the one that they need the most! That is my hope and prayer for my daughters.

I love creating memories of my daughters for them to remember and to treasure when they grow up, this is one of my favorite layout I created a digital layout using Jen C Designs, Forever Love kit:

Greater Joy

This is not a coincidence that this week prompt for Five Minute Friday is JOY.

Five Minute Friday

This is not JOY…. It is the greater JOY I ever had in my life with Jesus that I have almost the whole Bible in my heart language! I can read it online, at any time, any where.

I admit that I am crying with tears of joy while writing this post. This is the joy I want to share with everyone. This is the joy that I want those who have not yet have the Bible to have too. This is why my husband and I want to go and share this joy with them. We want to go to let them know that God is alive. God cares. God speaks in language they understands. God wants them to know Him and to love Him.

In God’s word we find the true joy in the midst of craziness of life. In God’s word alone we find the answers of this life. Through reading God’s word, we hear Him speaking to us.

But they won’t have it if they do not have the Bible.

For 12 years my walk with God, I read the Bible in Indonesian and English. My husband went to my hometown in 2007 as part of his short mission trip with Wycliffe (at that time we were not dating yet) and when he came back to Jakarta to see me, he brought back a book of Acts and the story of Joseph in Manadonese. That was my very first time read God’s word in my heart language.

And then in 2012, the director of Bible Translation in Manado, sent me 5 partial books of the Bible in Manadonese and 3 other languages that in one cluster. I REJOICED!

Last night, I got an email from the director and she gave the link to the Gospel of God in Manadonese Online! I am leaping with joy to know that we now have access to God’s Word in our heart language, Manadonese! We have the website to read it now and waiting for the printed one to be done soon!!!!

Wanna know how my first language look like? You are welcome to visit the website here:

Injil Manado - Gospel of God in Manadonese

THANK YOU for all of you who have been praying for this. God heard and answered your prayers for us. PLEASE continue pray for the rest of 400 languages in Indonesia who has been waiting for so long to have the Bible in their languages!

THANK YOU for all the translators who have been working so hard to make it happen.

THANK YOU for all financial partners who have invested financially in this projects for the people of Manado can read God’s word

THANK YOU for administration people and IT supports people who work heard behind the scene. Without your supports, this won’t happened!

To God only I give my praise! He is the one who have started the good work in our lives and He will continue to work until the day He reveal His glory!

We are so close to have the whole New Testament! Almost at the finish line!

I would like to invite you to be part of the mission to bring God’s word to 200 Million people who speaks at leas 1,900 languages in the world so that they can have the joy we have in Christ…. Check out these organizations and please be prayerfully consider to be their partners:

Deepest Sympathy

It is almost a week I haven’t posted anything and didn’t create anything because of all of us got sick since we got back from a road trip. First my husband, then my baby and I, and yesterday my oldest daughter had fever. We all caught the cold from whoever we made contact. But thankful that today everyone starts feeling better.

And I found out a friend of mine had lost her husband from a friend’s email. I am so sad to hear that. So, I went up to my craft room to make her a card…

thecardconcept5-colorinspiration

It is a CAS and one layer card. I have a retired stamp set, Card Chatter – Sympathy from Close To My Heart for the sentiment that I stamped using Black Pigment Ink from Basic Pigment Ink Pad Set. And for the dots, they are from Hello Bloom set and I stamped them using Pear from Adventure Pigment Ink Pad Set and Chocolate from Basic Pigment Ink Pad Set. After I stamped them all, I heated to dry the ink quicker but you can let it air-dry too.

The colors are inspired by The Card Concept Challenge #5:

THANKS fro stopping by today! Have a wonderful new week!

A Card For A Friend

One of my favorites card challenges is Card Chain Challenge hosted by Deborah Nolan. She is awesome! There were 27 participants for the February challenge, check all the cards here. They are just beautiful cards!

The joy creating cards for friends and families is a blessing in my life. I can’t keep it to myself, sending the card to them is the way to spread the joy 🙂 Today I would love to share with you a card I made for my new friend, Wynette in Kansas:

There are 4 challenge options we can use for this challenge, and I picked the color palate, friend theme and wood veneer shapes. for this card. I used two of the CTMH new paper packets, Timberline Paper Packet and Ariana Paper Packet. The stamp set I used is You Are My Happy set (retired). The embellishments are Wooden-Shapes Garden.

This is a fun challenge, you send a card, you get a card. I got a wonderful card from Cat C. from Maryland.

Deborah has the March Card Chain Challenge registration open now…. you can sign up HERE until Wednesday, March 19, 11:55 PM EST. Let’s join the fun with us!
