Sending our offer

We sent our offer last night in hope of decreasing the price by ten thousands dollar. So I’ve been waiting the whole morning, and anxiously waiting until the late afternoon. The owner will only accept our offer if we there’s no subject and offer at asking price, and possession on Sept 7.

Hunny and I both agreed to the seller’s wants, because the place is quite unique. According to Mr. G last night, the houses in this area is holding up the value pretty well. Meaning if we continue to maintain well, and gradually renovate/ update all the necessity, this house will worth more than it is today.

Since I’ve been waiting this morning, I felt very anxious. Holy Spirit reminded me to pray and worship God, I sense God was saying that He missed my singing voice. So I set a side sometimes to sing praise and worship Him. This tremendous sense of his presence fills up my heart and mind, something that I missed for so long … which I became so foreign to yet so comforting to know that He’s near. I can sense that my heart is soften under His loving kindness and patience. He has been waiting for me to search Him and connect with Him again.

I resent that I only came to Him when I felt the weakest in my spirit. I mean I want to connect with Him when I feel life is smooth and all that too….. I guess better be late than never coming back to Him. I praise God for Hubby, who is a constant strength in our relationship. He is like the anchor that set firm in God, and not easily sway away. Thank God for my parents that so supportive in finance and in knowledge. I pray that my relationship with in-law will be better and closer. I pray that I will have the open heart to them, just like how Hubby accepts me. I hope that in the future when they come visit we will be offer them a comfortable suite while visit.

Lord, show me the way! Be it studying in ACTS or doing something else, please show me the way, amen.

Day 2 – House Viewing

We saw quite a few of the Langley houses today. The more we saw the more we know what we want. We did need to take sometime to analyze and think through the good and bad of each house. We came down to that last two ones, which is in Walnut Grove and Brookswood.

We’re working late tonight to make our final decision. We decided to make an offer to the one in Brookswood. Let’s see what happens when the owner respond to our offer.

Naturopathic – 2

Second appointment with Florie today, I already felt so much better. I slept better, less moody, increased energy, overall I’m better. We ran through the test again today, Florie also noticed the change. The test result indicates I’m a sensitive, and intuitive person, which is interesting. As we talk more, she points out that I have a gift of knowledge and wisdom. Sometimes, seeing things that other people don’t pick up is actually a gift of God so that we can help others. I usually felt that I’m judging people, however, she points out that just keep quiet and in prayer when I see unusual things about people.

Coming on will be my detox journey, and preparation for pregnancy. I definitely have lots to swallow, literally almost 10+ pills and drops everyday…. it’ll be interesting to see how my body change!

Mr. Gauer’s 40th Job Anniversary

First time being a home owner can be very stressful. Today we went to see the first house we are interested in. It is located in Murrayville, right under the hill from the hospital. As much as we love the location, the house itself is too much to be fixed.

Seems like we need to move on to the next one. Possibly increase our budget so we might have more options.

Tomorrow also marks Mr. Gauer’s 40th Job Anniversary, congratulations!

last day of dog sitting

Last day of Mr. Chips, I will definitely miss him and hopefully I will visit sometimes in the future. He is such a gentle dog, although not very smart, he is pretty obedient. I understand he didn’t bark a lot like the smaller dog… but still, I’m not very used to the barking. Bibi and Happy usually don’t bother with other dogs, they are in their own little world with humans. Happy doesn’t bark much …. anyways, we are still thinking if we should bring him over to Canada. I wonder if he is physically able to fly all the way across the world.

Realtor

Today we met Mr. Gauer for the first time. At the first ten minutes, I wasn’t sure what he was like when we only talked about our preference for houses. As we talked more, I got more comfortable talking to him because he seemed very patient and listening attentively. By the end of our conversation, he offered to pray for us. This tremendous peace just flows our from within, the assurance that I felt God is watching over us. We are in the right hand, that Ben will work with H.S. and pay attention to details to work for our best interest.

Fast forward to this morning as I was praying our meeting, I got a picture of us praying together. I didn’t give much thought about it because I didn’t think someone will bother to pray for us. I guess I have lost so much trust and confident in person, I just don’t think people care…. especially spiritually….

I’m thankful that God leads us to the right person. I didn’t expect the process of buying a house will be easy; however, we have someone to walk with us… and that, I really appreciate God is showing us He is still faithful in everything that we do today.

看開點

今天,心血來潮的在whatsapp 跟陳小寶打招呼,想說他應該快要來Van。結果,他告訴我他跟拍拖兩年多的 Joy 分手了。然後呢,現在跟一個香港女生在一起,他說他跟Joy 年紀差太多溝通不來。感覺是一個似曾相識的故事內容,他哥以前也是這樣。

不一樣的是我,我心境不一樣了。以前,會覺得男生很花心說變就變。 其實,我都沒有真正瞭解他們相處模式,就覺得是男生沒有想清楚,或不夠愛對方。這次我就聽他說,既然他決定了分手 跟另外一個在一起,我就祝福他。畢竟,我明白這是他的人生。年紀越大看這些事情就越看開。 以前會為他們緊張,為對方女生緊張 其實都是學習過程。

原來看開一點,心情也好過一點。

Future/Past

Life is full of regrets and resentment, it is not always perfect as much as we wanted. Looking back I see things that I have done wrong, I might not want to do anything about it yet. However, there is one thing that I am still very content is to love the man that would never let me go. I see him became stronger everyday, stepping up the role to be a better husband and the pillar of this household. I’m thankful that he is who he is, and only gets better of his own version in Christ.

As we are moving forward, the next chapter of being a adult. We have to decide the location, budget, and preference for our new home. I honestly don’t have patience with this, I just want it to be done with as soon as possible. The strength of our relationship comes from our differences, hubby is the patience, rational, and logical one. No one would like to rush into a decision in buying a house, and we are talking about half a million home.

I’m still learning to be quiet before God. It has been difficult to listen to his voice. The bible hasn’t been opened for a long time. I’m so neglect to reach to that bookshelf. My heart has been cold for him. I want to pursue him again, but I found myself lacking motivation. I hate the word “passion” because it reminds me to something in the past. Still, I must admit I lost the passion for God. I don’t know what to do…

想去的地方

年紀越大越想要尋根,每次被問到最想去哪裡旅行 … 我還是先想到香港, 那個我出生長大的地方。也許是因為父母在哪裡,更讓我想回去。往往想一想,會不會以後回去跟他們相處的時間也不多了? 我也想去日本,但是我不知道為什麼日本是那麼的吸引我。可能是因為日本人有禮,守規矩。他們做事情的認真,不馬虎,是我最喜歡的。
