I am so proud of this little girl, for she has now weaned from breastfeeding after 3 years and 4 months!

One can say that breastfeeding is a walk in the park — Jurassic Park. 😂

It was a difficult journey that required perseverance, patience, strength, and determination. I feel like I have gone through different sorts of challenges: low supply, oversupply, ni**le confusion, engorgement, latching issues, and many more. I still remember how hard I prayed for me to be successful at breastfeeding. I am forever grateful that God has sustained me and allowed my body to produce sufficient milk for this little human being.

I want to also thank God for allowing me to meet a superb lactation specialist, Nanay Nona. Thank you for the online meetings we had during the height of COVID-19 so I could learn how to properly breastfeed. The encouragement I received from you motivated me to believe that my body is designed to do this for my child.

To my husband, the only person who saw me pregnant as it happened during the lockdown, thank you for your invaluable service and support. You’ve proactively done things I could not do because ‘unli-latch’ was real for our little one.

This is a milestone for my little girl and me, and I would like to share some of the learning I had on this journey.

1. Breastfeeding is hard yet beautiful. And yes, beautiful things require patience and hardwork.
2. People do have differing opinions whether you choose to exclusively breasfteed, mix-feed or bottle feed. Choosing any of these won’t make you less of a mother. You do what works and what is best for you and for your child.
3. Breastfeeding requires a strong support system. I can't emphasize this enough as breastfeeding requires a lot of the mom's energy. So she may miss some chores and other tasks but she is not to be judged. Her baby needs her the most.
4. It’s okay to feel not okay sometimes, when you feel you’re at your ugliest with dark ni**les, uneven breasts, messy hair, dripping milk, and so on. All of these shall pass and it’s just a phase.
5. When you ask God in prayer and it’s aligned to His will, He will grant your prayer. I asked God for me to successfully breastfeed my child and He answered.

I have become passionate about breastfeeding and if anyone needs help in this area, I am willing to help. Happy Sunday and God bless us all!

Intentionally date your spouse.

It's been a while (and we mean more than a year!) since we had a date where it was just the two of us.

When you try to juggle between work, unending household chores, and taking turns taking care of a kid, going on a date can easily go to the bottom of a couple’s priority list.

As we learn more about marriage, we’re seeing even more how important it is to spend more time with each other. It’s when it’s just the two of us that we get to converse more, get to know each other better, set goals more clearly and just understand the things that make us feel loved and valued.

Intentionally dating your spouse can rekindle and nurture your connection.

After our date, we were both excited to go back to our usual routine as we got to fill each other’s love tank with words of affirmation, spend some quality time, and make each other feel special and heard.

We will definitely not wait for another year and we’re talking about where to next the following month!

The time spent with your spouse is never a wasted time.

We had so much great learning from our couples’ discipleship group. It’s so refreshing to talk about marriage with similar Christ believers who help you view things biblically.

No marriage is perfect. Imagine two flawed people together, navigating life’s ups and downs, and who have different personalities, interests, and upbringings. Without Jesus in the equation, who Himself demonstrated what true love really means, it would be easy for marriage to turn dry, empty, and even worse, fail. Without Jesus, the real enemy can easily destroy the marriage and get through to our children to fill them with hatred, anger, and disbelief.

We want to share with you one of our realizations from our session this week, particularly about how we should nourish our relationship with our spouse.

What is your spouse’s love language? This world teaches us that we should DEMAND our spouse to treat us based on our love language. We are guilty of this most of the time as our default thinking goes like this:

“My husband doesn’t date me anymore and he doesn’t have time for me. I don’t feel loved.”

Or on the other side of the coin, “My wife just sees where I don’t do well. My physical needs are not met. I don’t feel loved.”

And so on and so forth…

The Christian view of this in marriage is not about how you should be treated by your spouse but how you should treat your spouse based on his or her love language. It’s never about RECEIVING but rather GIVING just like how God GIVES.

John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He GAVE His only Begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the GIFT of God, not as a result of works so no one may boast.”

1 John 3:1, “See what kind of love the Father has GIVEN to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.”

So what if your efforts are not reciprocated?

Just give. Our sufficiency comes from God. Go back to the source of true love and that is the LORD. He alone can satisfy and is sufficient. Our spouses may fail us if we keep on expecting that they will make us feel happy and loved all the time.

We know some will think that this mindset is unfair – to love and keep on loving without expecting. And that is why Christianity is not hard, it is impossible without the presence of the Holy Spirit!

As defined during one preaching at Christ Commission Fellowship on its Love Series, “Love is an unconditional commitment towards imperfect people to seek their highest good, which often requires sacrifice, for the glory of God.”

So the next time we find our spouse being so difficult, may we be reminded that we too are sometimes the difficult person to love due to our imperfections.

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

So love your spouse, not because he or she is good but because it is what God commands us to do and because Jesus has taught us what true love really means.

Put your hope in Jesus. Pray for your spouse. Pray together. Forgive one another.

May God bless your marriage!

After Tammy’s little accident, she neither stood up nor walked for three days which got us really worried.

We got her checked by a pediatrician who confirmed that she didn’t get any major injury. The pedia was in fact puzzled and challenged as she had not seen someone of Tammy’s age being so traumatized by stumbling (noting that it only resulted in small wound). In the end, she gave her contact details and asked for her to be updated on Tammy’s progress.

Sunday came and during the praise and worship service, my husband and I had the same prayer to Jesus for Tammy to just stand up and walk again. I remember just expressing my frustration as we tried everything we knew possible to encourage (and sometimes I must admit, even scare) for her to stand up and walk.

After the service, we went to a play cafe and this happened. She stood up, walked and played. We tried other things previously that’s equivalent to this but nothing worked. This time around, it did. Praise God.

Reflecting on this situation:

1. Is there anything you are dealing with right now and you feel like you’ve done everything you can do to fix it to no avail? Pray for it. There’s an unexplainable comfort in just lifting it all up to Him.

2. Have you stumbled and currently feel hurt and discouraged? May you find healing in Jesus. Tammy got home tonight, lifted her arms, looked up and declared, “I am healed. Thank you, Jesus.”

We hope you had a blessed Sunday everyone! God is good.

While Tammy was having her outdoor play one afternoon, she unfortunately tripped and got a little cut on her knee. It was nothing serious but just like any normal toddlers would do, she cried because it was too painful for her.

We let her cry and tried to pacify her at some point. In one of our attempts when we felt like nothing really worked, we told her that sometimes if it is too painful, an ambulance could pick up sick people and bring them to the hospital.

The following night, we heard her telling herself exactly what we said about the ambulance and it was just too funny.

It still amazes us how a two-year old can absorb and learn things so quickly.

Despite of this being funny, it makes us realize even more how we should be intentional when it comes to interacting with our child. How we think, communicate and behave as her parents will have the greatest impact on molding our child’s character.

To be a parent is such a beautiful privilege from the LORD which is beautifully said in Psalm 127:3,
“Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.”

This comes with a great responsibility at the same time particularly on how we raise her in truth and love.
