My Dear Little Noble Princess


"You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed."
Psalm 139:15-16

My Dear Little Noble Princess,

I love you, more than words can describe. Your Daddy and I are thrilled that you came into our lives. You bring joy and laughter in our home. You remind us to appreciate the simple things in life. Thank you.

I praise God that He watched and protected you while your were being formed in my womb. I thank Him that He knows the beautiful and dark moments in your life to come. I pray that you will sense His presence early on in your life. It is our desire that you choose to follow Christ with your whole heart. We pray that our lives will encourage your spiritual development.

I pray that you will grow up to be physically healthy. I understand that there will be times that you will get sick. Yet, I ask the Lord to strengthen your immune system to fight against disease. In addition, I pray that you will be proactive in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I pray that God will grant your Daddy and I wisdom in being positive role models in that regard.

I pray that you will be emotionally strong. May your life be filled with His grace, peace, and joy. May you believe that you are BEAUTIFUL, inside and out. May you be delivered from the spirit of fear that often rules my life.

I pray that you will have the motivation and intellect to pursue your passions. May God bless you with His wisdom and knowledge to become what you were designed to be. I pray that your Daddy and I will be supportive of your dreams, especially when they are different from what we envisioned for your life.

Lastly, I pray that your life will be filled with people who truly love you for who you are and not for who they want you to become. If you are to be married, I pray that your husband will love you dearly, just like your Daddy loves me.

I love you my Little Noble Princess. May your be true to who you are. May you be protected by God. May you fight for the people you love. And may God continue to smile upon you.

Love,
Your Mommy

Is God Good?

During "at home learning", I helped my daughter design an experiment on plants. She set up four identical pots with the same amount of soil in the same location on our deck (controlling her variables, right?). She planted two bean seeds in each pot. She watered three out of the four plants with various amounts of water (1/4 cup, 1/2 cup and 1 cup). The fourth plant only received whatever water naturally fell from the sky. At the end of one month, her hypothesis was partially verified. She thought the 1/4 cup water plant and 1/2 cup water plant would grow the best, which was true in the end. On the other hand, she guessed the others would not germinate at all. Interestingly enough, while the one that was drench in water (1 cup) did not germinate, the one she did not water at all actually grew! It germinated late but had the most steady growth. Is God good? I have been thinking about this question a lot these days. A global pandemic is still raging over our planet decimat...

Daunting {But Not Impossible}

I rarely watch the news. I catch up on the world's happenings -- where often the horror is reported -- via Google News. Or the brief blurb before classic rock on our favourite radio station. But very occasionally, at the end of the day, I take in the images of national and global headlines. Yesterday I watched the masses trek across Europe, searching for a safe haven away from war-torn Syria. I witnessed little kids crying as they tried to rub away tear gas sprayed by unrelenting border police. The message? You are not welcome in this country. I choked up as a father and his son fell to the ground after being tripped up by guards. The look of desperation on people's faces was heart breaking. Our country is nearing a Federal Election in October. Many voters are curious how the next Prime Minister will address the Syrian Refugee Crisis. Here is an excerpt from The Globe and Mail : Mr. Mulcair [NDP] and Mr. Trudeau [Liberal] condemn Mr. Harper [Conservative] for lacking...

Banking in the Now

This month we are trying something different: banking in the now instead of the tomorrow. Oh, it is nothing new, really. I used to operate like this in my single days. But then the lure of credit cards with reward programs persuaded me otherwise. While I never gave Visa the joy in collecting any interest payments from our bank accounts and I always payed our credit card bill before the 21 days of grace were up, I probably spent more than I should have some months. Why? Because I didn't have to pay for it immediately . It was not until last year that my credit card habits started to bother my conscience. Up to that point, I felt proud of the fact that the credit card company was paying me to use their plastic. I received stuff for free, even after paying my annual fee. Free fuel. Free flights. Free hotels. Free is good, right? My perspective started to change after I read a blog post penned by my sister. Her and her husband cut up their credit cards after a series of events, o...
