Love… mum & Josiah

“Love is a choice…given when undeserving… given when feeling down… given when in spite of the cost” – the most profound words I’ve heard today.

Today we celebrate mum being mum… and we celebrate Josiah’s (my first nephew) first month of life in the outside world.Yep, that’s my mum! She’s also first-time grandma So u can imagine, today’s a day of heart-felt thoughts & expressions for & from the family.

I remember getting the call from my brother-in-law on a Friday night.. right in the middle of youth group, letting me know how the delivery went and all of a sudden i hear this very very loud cry… and i said to Keng, “is that him?” LOL! Man, it’s an undescribable feeling…Just to be able to hear his voice brought warmth & joy to my heart. It didn’t matter how the delivery went, his weight, what the doctors said etc. Just to be able to hear him… man! I remember the visits to the hospital daily and hearing how he’s adjusting to new life, life outside the womb… how fascinating the stories!

Josiah, you are truly a treasure from the Lord, a joy and our delight! You have shown me the simplicity of life & the power of what life can bring. In you i see the tenderness of the Father and the intricate hand of the Creator (Whom u will one day learn, is the same person). I will love you and protect you with my all. We will get to know each other and have nice (two-way) conversations… for now, welcome to the world!
