Novermber is the second last month of this year. I have to say time is so damn flying. I am on my 35 weeks, plus 5 days. There is two more days to go before I officially enter "possible-to-labor-at-any-time" period. But these things don't bother me at all. I am just reading books and learning what I need to learn for labor. Nothing is scaring if you know what it is about.
Also my life changed a bit since Nov. Mum is here with me for 9 days. At the beginning, I was worried about her, whether she can fit in life here, whether we would have a big conflict in term of habit and way of thinking, whether she are willing to go church with me and learn a bout Jesus, especially whether she would apply all the traditional way of baby caring on me and Caleb. Thanks God. Now I feel a bit of relaxed. Because she is working on getting used to syd life, learning how to shop by herself and even exploring different places. So far she has already been to Bondi Junction, Coogee beach, Moore park all by herself. Yesterday she packed some bread for lunch and tried to walk to Opera House without any map. She was doing quite well. She eventually reached Flinder St and Cleverland St. I believe next time she will find the way to city. Furthermore, she is willing to go church with me, watching gospel DVD and reading christian magzine. pray that God will really change her and open her heart to Jesus to the good news.
As regard to my work, I'd like to thank God again for his providance. As it is such a grace, i feel I don't deserve it. So I'd like to try my best to work. But experiment result isn't always like what i expected. I didn't get what I want this time. And I only have three weeks left. I am not sure whether I should start a new round of experiment or I should wait till i come back. Because in one hand, i don't really trust the person who helped me prepare samples. As the sample 's quality is essential to my experiment, I think it is better to do it by myself. However, if no expeirment, what should i do for my work? yes, I should finish that paper, submit it before I leave for baby. Anyway, i just feel disappointed about the result. Perhaps I shouldn't be so pushy. God has his good will in it. Pray that God leads me through every decision , every moment in my life and work. Give me patience to know what is No.1 in my life.
Okay, I should start working now. Several things need to address next week. Experiment result report, talking to Justin about period of my leave and paper. Be strong and courageous!
Romans 5:3-5 suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. Amen!
