Journey to 37 something weeks Part 2: The Medical Side

It has been said by many that there is no greater pain than Jesus' suffering or for us women --- CHILDBIRTH.

Well if you are wondering how did we end up experiencing labor pains, let me take you back in the days of Adam and Eve.

On John MacArthur's book: Twelve Extraordinary Women, I felt God's wrath when He learned Eve's disobedience:

Genesis 3:13
And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

Journey to 37 something weeks Part 1

I am no newbie in parenting. We have been proud parents to our beautiful daughter for almost 5 years now and I must say it has been a roller coaster ride ever since.

Way back dating years, husband and I have been talking about how many kids we wanted in our future life. We both agreed to two kids, a boy and a girl.

Old school - Homeschool

Remember when you are forced to wake up at five in the morning, shower in the cold and eat breakfast at 5:30 because the school bus will come and pick you up at 6? How about when your parents drag you to the mall in June to buy school supplies and the bookstore's line is just unbearable?

Most parents would say, "that's the reality of life, suck it up!" But my husband and I are not most parents.

Hair Talk

It has been said that the hair is the crowning glory of a woman. Just take a look at how many shampoo commercials are in your TV, how much aisle does a grocery needs for hair care products? Admit it, one way or another, you obsess on how your hair looks.

Too many styles, too many colors to choose from but how do we know what is right for us?

A Wife of Noble Character

Because the wife completes a home. Either she makes it or break it. Marry someone who is noble and great.

Proverbs 31:10-31
NLT
A Wife of Noble Character

10 Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
    She is more precious than rubies.
11 Her husband can trust her,
    and she will greatly enrich his life.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
    all the days of her life.
13 She finds wool and flax
    and busily spins it.
14 She is like a merchant’s ship,
    bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household
    and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.
16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it;
    with her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She is energetic and strong,
    a hard worker.
18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable;
    her lamp burns late into the night.
19 Her hands are busy spinning thread,
    her fingers twisting fiber.
20 She extends a helping hand to the poor
    and opens her arms to the needy.
21 She has no fear of winter for her household,
    for everyone has warm clothes.
22 She makes her own bedspreads.
    She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.
23 Her husband is well known at the city gates,

    where he sits with the other civic leaders.

24 She makes belted linen garments
    and sashes to sell to the merchants.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity,
    and she laughs without fear of the future.
26 When she speaks, her words are wise,
    and she gives instructions with kindness.
27 She carefully watches everything in her household
    and suffers nothing from laziness.
28 Her children stand and bless her.
    Her husband praises her:
29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
    but you surpass them all!”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
    but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
31 Reward her for all she has done.
    Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

I do, do I?

During our pre-marital counseling we were asked by the speaker why do we think people get married. Below are some of the answers.

1. Love

2. Companionship

3. Religious Beliefs

4. Tradition

5. Security/Money

6. Family Pressure

Since we had a different story. Our answer was also different.

I am married for a year now but my husband and I used to be live in partners for almost 5 years because we had a kid. When I got pregnant, some people said we should get married and some said don't. It has been a long debate but we made our stand that we will not get married just because we had a baby.

We keep on waiting until the right time comes. But seriously though, what was that thing that we were waiting for?

Wisdom for all

First chapter and I knew I would love the book of Proverbs. Guess what? I just finished the book and adored every word in it.

People these days are too busy looking for wealth they forget that they may have all the riches in the world but without wisdom they will fail.

Who wouldn't want to have the wisdom of King Solomon right?

So I summarized my favorite verses hoping you'll learn too!
