"Recalculate" - Have you ever come to a point in your life that you had to recalculate your time, your priorities, and even some appointments? What is the meaning of that word so often used? It is the description of what happens when we are considering or navigating change. In fact, the concept of “examining” the realities of life and how those measure up to our vision for our family is an important strategy for parents to be doing on a regular basis. If it reality doesn’t match up to vision, then the option to “recalculate” may be important. The GPS is a good example of how it recalculates the journey when we are off course on a trip. The only way we can recalculate is to slow down enough to examine and evaluate the condition of our relationships, the habits of our family, and the daily stresses of our life. By asking, “Is this the life I want to live?” we can begin the process of evaluating. If the answer is “No,” then recalculate and get yourself and/or your family headed back in the right direction.

Internet is UP & Car is DOWN
iinet finally 'grant' us the connection, after 3 weeks. Partly because we got impatient with Optus service.
Unfortunately, our car is down. DH called, with a little frustration in his voice, to let me know that our car needs servicing right away because there was some weird noises, and that he has managed to drive the car to the nearest Kmart Auto. Immediately I thought, 'how is he going to get home and how is he going to get to work the next day?!' The names run through my mind like those number balls for lottery... Can't remember was it me or DH who mentioned Rena! Yes, she stayed close by and best of all she has the highest chances to be home (because teachers are on strike today). With a call, she went to the rescue. We are really thankful of the help and rescue. Not only did she lend us her spare car, she even gave us some chocolate cake.
Isn't that wonderful to have this sister! Thank you Lord!
Now, we just hope the servicing will not make too big a hole in our pocket. The gift card comes in handy... PTL for his providence!

If God's interception does not come in time, it may means WC will got to quit... the main income source we have will be broken.
Lord, we leave this in your hand. We have faith that you will take care of this.

Contentment? How?
How can I be contented...? This kinda created a guilt in me. Did I move downunder because I am not contented?
Charles Stanley
After his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, Paul had much to learn about salvation and following Christ. Throughout his life, the apostle shared what he was discovering. In his letter to the church at Philippi, he wrote about a very important life lesson - the secret of being content.
What kind of life do you think brings contentment? You might assume it is one with few troubles or great success. You may want good health, financial security, and a loving family. Paul's life was not at all like this. He was in danger from both his own countryman and the opposition (2 Corinthians 11:23-26). Sometimes the people listened, but more often, they were hostile to his message. He also had a "thorn in the flesh" which God refused to remove (2 Corinthians 12:7-9). And Paul even spent considerable time in prison, chained to a guard. Yet he boldly wrote, " I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation" (Philippians 4:12, NIV).
The secret he discovered was to live on the basis of his position in the Lord, not his feelings. As God's child, Paul knew he was spiritually rich - "blessed . . . with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" (Ephesians 1:3) because he had a loving Father and the Holy Spirit's guidance.
Contentment in our media-driven age is hard to find and harder to keep. There's always something newer, bigger, or better to buy and someone else who has what you want. When you feel unsatisfied, try basing your response on your position as a co-heir with Christ (Romans 8:17) rather than feelings.
