3 awesome toddlers
When we have toddlers and sunny days, they pretty much don’t wanna stay inside the house anymore after a long inside-winter-house activities. They just want to go out and play. Especially if they have friends who live closer, play date will be a great idea to be outside. That’s what we did today, the very first time for Abigail to have a play date with her friends.
My husband put this BlogPress App on my iPhone.
This is my first time using it and we’ll see if it is handy or not ^_^
First post is from where I sit, my lovely big couch and sipping my coffee… While looking at my little princess playing around the living room.
In addition, I write it and post it at my 3 blogs. I don’t have to copy & paste, even change website to make a post.
For a short and fast post, this App is H.A.N.D.Y.
So, do you think it sounds handy?

Nowadays, we have seen lots of leadership problems in the worldwide. President step down because of the people wanted him to step down, and even at a church, the pastor got “fired” because of things went south with his leadership.
So what is the real problem actually? How a leader can be a great leader and have followers? How a leader can be the one who lead the way?
In his recent post, Michael Hyatt wrote good points about being a leader and how to be a great leader. Here what I quote from him:
I contend that if you want to be a great leader, you must first become a great follower. Although it is rarely discussed, this is where almost all of history’s greatest leaders got their start.
- Joshua followed Moses for more than forty years before he led the children of Israel into the promised land.
- Elisha served Elijah for ten years before he took up his master’s mantle and went on to perform even more miracles.
- The Apostle Peter followed Jesus for three years—and made a lot of mistakes—before he and his fellow-disciples “turned the world upside down” (see Acts 17:6).
Happy Birthday, Rafi
I made this card for our boy whom we support through World Vision in Indonesia. His birthday is in July but it will take about 2 months for him to get the card. He will be 8 this year. So we sent it this month to him and hopefully he will get it on time. We are so blessed to have him as a member of our family.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Rafi… We love you!
Are you stuck?

- Schedule an appointment with a counselor.
- Talk to a good friend who knows how to listen.

- Take control of that little voice in your head. “Change channels.”
- Turn off the TV and the radio.
