One step closer

As the days pass, I feel more jubilant. We are closer to building our own home. A home where we can feel safe and cozy.

Last weekend, we finally bought the critical pieces of furniture: TV console, sofa set, dinning table and coffee table. We exceeded our budget, by quite a bit. But, guess, it is the price to pay to decorate your home the way you want it. Afterall, a home should be a place where you long to be in at the end of a long day.

So now, we only have the other set of critical household appliances to purchase:the refrigerator, the washing machine and perhaps an oven for me to induge in cake-making. Guess we probably have to scrimp on the other things like lights and sinks. But, I surmise both of us will give in to our weakness for pretty things to go along with our Greece theme infused with an element of Nature.

So, let us simply count down the days.

Dear Lord

Thank you for the experiences that I have had so far. I am grateful for the peace and luxury in my life. I have the most wonderful husband and my career is beginning to open new doors. I hope that things will continue as they are as I take bigger steps towards teaching and inspiring the little ones. It really warms my heart to know that at least one of the little ones still remember me and listen to me. I hope that my words of encouragement will help them as they work towards a meaningful and rewarding life.

I do pray that I will be able to find my way towards new spiritual grounds too.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
