amidst the chaos

Although I had said that I would stop blogging here, but I really cannot keep quiet about how good and amazing God has been after we came back. So here goes... =P

Sitting in my living room, looking at the chaos all around. Workers are working in the bathrooms, changing the water heater, shower systems, taps, mirror cabinets.

Lots of drilling. Lots of dust. Lots of noise. Fan in living room is still not installed, so lots of heat too.

But sitting here, I sense the peace. =)

Our house is beginning to look familiar.
It's beginning to look like home.

One would probably think that it is so hard to be thankful for all that's happened and happening. But it is really easy.

So many little stories, reminders for us to know that God is still sovereign. He is still in-charge.

Like just a few moments ago, as the worker was removing the central water heater, we heard a loud thud. Sounded like something dropped.

When hubby went up to check, the worker said that we are 'very heng'. The top bracket which held the heater was already off from the wall. So when he removed the bottom bracket, the whole thing fell on him. Thank God that He is also protecting those who are working on this house. Worker was unhurt.

The heater was situated right above the common toilet bowl.

Another short story to tell. We needed to buy new beddings and we love Sea Horse brand. They are having 50% store-wide discounts. =)

Another shop in Heartland Mall was having 80% discounts for Sintex comforter sets.

All shipment from Japan had arrived and all unpacked and stored. When we look at how hubby and I work together to restore this house, we cant help but realise that we do really make a good pair. He handles what I dont like to do best, like packing and sorting. I handle what he doesnt like, like the kitchen, clothes and our wardrobe.

These are the little things in life that really assure me that my God is still watching over us, and He is near. =)
