May my life speak louder Than the praise that I sing

This is my man. He stood with me from the day we found out I'm pregnant. He went to every gynae appointment with me. He fixed the baby's cots, he prepared the baby's room. He did everything that I couldn't do in the 38 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy. When my water bag broke on 24 March 11.30pm, he got everything ready while I took a shower before heading to the hospital. He was excited to be daddy to the little one and I could see it in his entire being. 😊 When I was checked in to the delivery ward, he did all that he could - to be present with me. (Ask him and he will tell you that there's nothing he could do to help me feel better during that time. Literally, he felt helpless.) but husbands, fathers-to-be, being present with your wife is probably the best thing you can do for them when they are in labour. 🙂 On 25 March 9.21pm, our little one was born. Since that day, I have seen even more of what my man is capable of. He loves our son with very much, yet he never neglects my needs in this season. He gives me hugs when I need them, he assures me when I feel overwhelmed, he does things for me when I have no ability to do so... With a lack of sleep, he tries his best to still soothe our little one to sleep, to pick him from the cot and pass him to me for feeding and later on put him back into the cot again... God, thank You for giving me a husband whose love for You overflows into the way he loves and cares for his family. 💕 #plenntifful #plenntiffulfambam https://www.instagram.com/p/B-erTWVHLKM/?igshid=45u9xdkfq8qe

Is it pregnant then can have whatever I want? Smelt BBQ two days ago and simply said that I wanna eat, and the family spontaneously decided to have BBQ for dinner. Was supposed to have it at Sembawang Park but the rain wouldn't stop. So made do with whatever we had 🤷‍♀️ still good! 😎 #plenntifful #pregnancyjourney #family https://www.instagram.com/p/B-GrQqony0Z/?igshid=6vi7ii5i3wlq

Yesterday's bump at 38 weeks & 3 days.🤰 "When are you coming?" This question has been perpetually in my mind since. Anticipating the coming of Ean has been both a joy and a pain. A joy because we know he's coming and we can't wait to meet him 😊, yet a pain because we have to bear with not knowing when he's coming. 🙄 Is this what we feel as we anticipate the coming of Christ as well? Are we filled with joy knowing that He will come one day, yet at certain moments filled with agony because we have no idea when He's coming? #plenntifful #pregnancyjourney #pregnancybump #pregnancyreflections #plenntifful蔡包 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-EBjcKHO9z/?igshid=7m1cusb3e75

Experiencing pregnancy for the first time has been nothing short of interesting. Other than the outward sign of the tummy growing bigger over the 40 weeks, and the body changing in ways I would never have been able to imagine if not for going through it, there was also much spiritual pruning, change in perspectives and deepening of convictions. Finally penned my thoughts after 2 weeks of procrastination so that I can always remember how good God has been in this season.

The friends with whom we always talk and dream about starting businesses with since their wedding prep. 😆 may the Lord grant us our hearts' desires! Haha #plenntifful #plenntiffulfriends https://www.instagram.com/p/B9wah7BHX1-/?igshid=6tdg19jnt47p

I've always struggled with the thought of "who are my friends?" And I think from last night's event, I can confidently say that these are my friends. Despite the Covid-19 situation that's going on, they agreed to the husband's request to celebrate my birthday two weeks earlier and before the little one comes. Thanks guys, for being my friends. For treasuring our relationship more than fearing the current situation. For choosing our friendship more than rest after a day's work. And of course, thank you, lougong, for the attempt to surprise me and celebrate me. You managed to surprise me this time round ☺️ thank you for loving me in every way that you know how. I treasure you and I love you ❤ #plenntiffulhome #plenntiffulfriends https://www.instagram.com/p/B9sKHhcnzka/?igshid=65k8estaz43y

Dear Ean Daniel 蔡毅恩, you have been in mama's tummy for almost 37 weeks now. Ean means God is gracious. Pa and ma named you Ean Daniel because we have seen the grace of God from the day we found out about you at 5 weeks. You will learn the need for God's grace throughout your life and as a result be a vessel for the grace of God to be brought to many. Your faith in God will be as resolute as Daniel's. You will be as human as Daniel was, yet your faith will never be shaken come what may. Your chinese name means exactly the same as your english name. 毅的意思是刚强;坚定。你在主里的信心无论如何必坚定不移，就像但以理一样。你的生命会是充满了神的恩典，也因为这样，你必带领众人来认识耶稣基督。所以，爸妈给你取名叫毅恩。 Mama wants you to know that you have a papa who may seem quiet to his friends, but really, he can be quirky and fun like in some of these photos. He is a committed papa - he reads to you (in case you are wondering whose voice is that) and prays for you every night no matter how tired he is. Sometimes mama falls asleep first so that's when papa doesn't get to read to you and pray with you. 😬 and he gets really excited when he sees you move in mama's tummy too! He will take time to wait at mama's tummy just to see you move. Pa and ma know that the most important gift to you is to keep our marriage strong and intact, so that's what we will do even when you are out of mama's tummy. Don't be fussy when we leave you with ah gong and ah ma so that pa and ma can go on a date because we will need those moments to ensure that we can continue to give you the best of us. 😊 We look forward to meeting you, Ean! 📷: @alittleblackbox #plenntifful https://www.instagram.com/p/B9jqh0_HkKN/?igshid=133ullapjmynz

Word in every season. The Christian life is about our obedience to the Lord who has given us eternal life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's not even about what the Lord gives and takes away. Obedience to God is the fruit of our salvation. Reminder to self in this season and Word to remember in every season. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9gCt_VHhN8/?igshid=b8pwoewu6nfr

It felt good to spend almost 7 hours out today after staying home for 3 weeks. Surprised myself that I could still walk (without pains and aches) for about 5 hours with occasional rest stops (pretending to try out chairs, sofas and mattresses) at 34 weeks. Also surprised myself (i think @lennardch was surprised too) that I was pretty willing to spend today. The hubs has always wanted to buy a study table but it was me who initiated to get a study table today, and not only that, we even got a roller chair, a rack for the yard, a small table for the living room, a mattress for ahma and several other smaller items. Must be the preggy hormones making me a little crazy. But the hubs must be quite glad cos we got what he's been asking for. Haha and thank God that I decided to bring a can of soft drink out, which allowed me to sit on a really comfy chair and enjoy my drink while waiting for the hubs and inlaws. #plenntifful https://www.instagram.com/p/B84ISDfHr3B/?igshid=yiire1a214lq

We can praise God and worship Him in every season because regardless of what we go through, it doesn't change the fact that He is God. Choose to worship Him in spite of. #Godisforus #noCovidcanstandagainstus https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ylzsrnb4X/?igshid=1epd54gyu0x5s

No one likes to suffer. No, not even Christians. We would be sadistic to say that we enjoy suffering. Yet trusting in Christ and suffering go together. When we trust in Christ, suffering will come naturally. And we are not suffering in vain, because we are suffering for Christ just as He suffered for us on the cross when He was on earth. Suffering is evidence that we belong to Christ. So count it our privilege to be able to suffer for Christ! And we don't suffer alone because we have the Church in this together. #Godisforus #noCovidcanstandagainstus https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wN4wdH2vr/?igshid=16rma8c99e2hd

Standing together (for better or for worse) is a call of God upon us. If we call ourselves the Church, then unity will be displayed because unity is the trait of the Church. . Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT): A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. #Godisforus #noCovidcanstandagainstus https://www.instagram.com/p/B8sNk85HLgz/?igshid=g4r6o1ff7xkx

Grace Assembly of God has decided to stop services and church activities for two weeks, which means as church staff and leaders, and even as members, these two weeks will look quite different for us. Who are we when we are stripped of planned services, programmes and activities? Who are we when we can no longer do the daily things that we do? Who are we? It's a period of refining. A refining of our identities. A refining of who we truly are. We are not defined by the planned services, programmes or activities. We are not defined by the daily things that we do. We are children of the Most High God. We are the Church - the body of Christ. Our identities are shaken when placed in what we do, but immovable when placed in who God says we are. It is a choice that we all have, to put our identities in Christ. Will you choose to put yours in the unchanging God today so that your identity can never be changed? #Godisforus #noCovidcanstandagainstus https://www.instagram.com/p/B8qEcWdngIZ/?igshid=f1vqn0crqwfk

[t177any]

Services cancelled did not stop the church from meeting. We shared life, encouraged one another and prayed together over technology. (Who says technology is all bad?) Church is not a building; church is YOU and ME. #wewillemergestronger #wearebettertogether #nothingcanstopus #nothingcanstandagainstus https://www.instagram.com/p/B8lrnzpnOU5/?igshid=1n2iu345k0wsn

Today is V-day. I am on home quarantine. He's on LOA. It was not a usual day. I was frustrated. Can't fully articulate. Vented on my hubs. Yet he never said a word. Continued cooking. Thank you for bearing with me. Thank you for your love. Won't trade you for another. #plenntifful #plenntiffulhome #plenntiffulcooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B8jUweWHbHd/?igshid=hk8n7md8d8ua

初三: 到家才记得今天出门前忘了拍照。照片里的背景是黑暗的，我们的脸是油亮的，因为出外一整天到家了才拍这张照片，就为了记念今天穿了什么衣服 😅 #plenntifful #plenntiffulcny https://www.instagram.com/p/B70_Cb4HMvH/?igshid=195znco32su09
