A Glimpse of God's Heart

The best thing about being a parent is being able to witness how a human being develop and grow into the most wonderful and amazing creation God has made...  And then understand His heart ~ His  #grace  and His unconditional  #LOVE .  This, i believe.  💕 #momTHEREhood   #motherhood   #momofboys #parenting

It's Awey's 12th Birthday!

LITTLE BOYS  Little boys come in all shapes and sizes,   Shy and adventurous, full of surprises,   With misshapen halos and mischievous grins,   Small dirty faces, sweet, sticky chins.   They'll keep you so busy, and yet all the while   Nothing can brighten the world like their smile.   And no greater treasure has brought home more joy   Than a curious, active, and lovable boy! -Anonymous - HAPPY 12th #BIRTHDAY to my little-now-already-big boy Awey !  You have always been my pride and my joy, i love you sooo much! :*

ADHD in the HOUSE.

Image
You might have observed that your kid seems to be the most stubborn and restless child in the whole wide world, and you of course have become the most exhausted parent spending her everyday life shouting, cleaning, decluttering and putting everything back to their original place. And that does not include yet the performance of first aid every time an unexpected injury comes up, right? Then you hear your neighbor exclaims, "Your daughter seems so hyper, does not she?".  And one of your friends asks, " Is your son an ADHD?". (I still yet to find out since when ADHD has become an adjective). Alright let us talk about it ~ ADHD ~ but let me use excerpts from Richard S. Kingsley, MD 's review followed by my own observations and notes of Awey's special condition . ADHD Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder Kids with ADHD act without thinking , are hyperactive , and have trouble focusing . They may understand what's expected of them but ...

  The JDaNs Family Adventures Jhanysse-Daniel-Nilyn's (Inspired by the Addams Family Story) This is a 'BRIEF' ( yes,i could have written a novel about us three! ) sharing on how our family has existed in this already crazy world and made it more crazier ! Hehehe. Just like the Addams Family who seemed to be never aware that they appear BIZZARE and frightening to other people, we too are CARELESS on how others find us and talk about us. We just want to live HAPPILY according to what we believe is our position in our God's eyes . :) They wear what they want ( then criticize each other's look,hahaha! ) and they can go out with whatever on them. Though we may joke on how we look, we do not seriously care about it. We never have that desire of pleasing others through our looks ( you might think that is not true of me for i seem to be being careful in choosing my wardrobe and accessories, but i am working in a fashion company thus i have to b...

Teaching the REWARDS of OBEDIENCE to Awey.

Image
Joshua obeyed and he succeeded. Joshua trusted and he was provided. Joshua listened and he was lifted. Joshua had faith and he was shown faithfulness. Joshua followed and he was made to lead. Joshua believed and he conquered. Joshua taught us that obedience, in its full extent can take us a long way. The bible has certainly stated the curse of not practicing it as well as the rewards of doing so. Obey and you’ll live long (healthy and free from diseases) and successful (well provided and acknowledged). P.S. My son’s reaction after reading Joshua’s life : “Whoa, Mom Joshua is amazing! He was able to change Israelites! They no longer complained and became obedient too!” excerpts: http://thebunglingprincess.wordpress.com/#!/fresh/

25th Fathers' Day without YOU.

Image
Malachi 4:6 He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse. (NIV) ~ does the verse suggest a reconciliation between a father and his children? or a reminder of the consequence of having a bad relationship with our fathers? HAPPY FATHERS' DAY then to all fathers, may he big or small, black or white, young or old! God has blessed you opportunities to raise His children! Be proud you are one! ♥ To my Papa, i will always always be thankful to God for the gift of life you have given us...May our Father up there hold you in His hands wherever you are. I love you. ♥

My Siblings! ♥

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA. :(

Image
25 years ago, you left with just the 4 of us... and now look on how we have grown bigger... physically and in numbers. ♥ I pray that this will make you happier today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA! ~ i just have to say...we missed you so much. (we took this photo on mama's birthday last April 28th) And I guess you've got to read this note from your eldest son. ",) ...this year is the 25th year without him. Pa..I am little bit jealous of friends with their fathers whenever i see some and i don't have you with me. I wonder what's on God's mind when He did take you away from us.. I missed your louder yet sweet voice. I missed your simple smile to cover-up your tiredness after work..  Best part about you as a father has been that you never really taught us anything.  You just lived your life and showed us the path of rightful living.  You provided us with all the essentials of good life and never made us compromise on anything.  Without ever showing...

As jealous as he is.

Also Known As: trimmed I really missed my cam…and my photography… Being one of my prized possessions, not only because it was the most expensive personal stuff I have bought for myself (though 2nd hand),it also has already captured a lot of happy memories I had with my Vounne Rahouelle, with our Ximounne Jaughanna, with my Pinkbox family, with Grace church people and with my ever full of challenges life, its lost has been one of the most mourned moments of my life (though I had to keep it to myself ) Now, jhanysse’ point of view has been limited to my cellphone cam shots and has already missed a lot of picturesque moment of life and celebrations. Ironically as I scanned my laptop this morning as preparation for reformatting (again for the nth time),I happened to open my photo albums and paused to reminisce happy days in the past… With a smile I looked at the pics of those kids that are now grown up, esp...

what a wonderful world.

I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself what a wonderful world. The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do They’re really saying I love you. I hear babies cry, I watch them grow They’ll learn much more than I’ll never know And I think to myself what a wonderful world YES I THINK TO MYSELF WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD. ~Louis Armstrong
