On Becoming Loving

I have been taking the project seriously and looking forward to doing something loving everyday. On Jan. 1st I stayed at home all day and so all the loving thing I could do is revolved around my husband, so I made breakfast

and lunch for him.

Yesterday was Sunday and Sunday = kids.

We played gift exchange games and I took them out for lunch. I planned to buy lunch for all of them coz it's the NEW YEAR, but the girls insisted that they were paying on their own. They stole the bill and put in all the money! Rather I feel much loved by them. They ended up keep saying "thank you", while I was like... "what for?" They told me that they wanted to thank me for taking them out so they could have so much fun together. I love these kids and thank God for making them so beautiful and bringing them into my life!

I've been reflecting about this project that we are doing, and now feel that we cannot take it as a "task". There is not much love in "completing a task", but there is much love in "doing things for someone out of your desire". Like what's said in the lyrics we used as our theme, love should be naturally flowing out of us due to the love that's poured out unto us by God.

We are not capable of loving others if we do not have a deep and intimate connection with Jesus. He is the vine and we are the branches. Without Him, we can do nothing...

This year I decide to pick up the 90 days bible reading plan again. It's almost the hardest thing i've ever done last year, and I want to do it again.

It will be a good year!
