We had the Chinese speaking spring conference this past weekend at Plano. We had 1 family and a sister staying with us. We enjoyed the fellowship but were all tired from the weekend. The topic of the conference was "shepherding". I prayed the Lord will enlarge my capacity and give me the burden to be a shepherding one, to have the same burden as He does. What I was touched the most was that the Lord charged Peter to shepherd His sheep 3 times. Although Peter failed and was in a very defeated situation, the Lord still came to Him to nursish and cherish him first, to warm his heart, and when Peter told the Lord yes he loved the Lord, the Lord charged him to feed His sheep. We are all like Peter, in many situations denying the Lord, turning away from our spirit, but He never gives us up.  Amen.


The boys are having their spring break from schools, and Philip also took the week off to do some house project. Mainly to change the floor from carpet to laminate wood. It's a lot of work, he first had to move all the furniture in the family room away, then to take out the carpet and lining, then to clean the floor and take out the wood trims, then the real work starts. I can't help this time so mom has volunteered to help. We will buy some paint and paint the lower half of the wall to be a darker color since the boys drew on the walls and it's the best time to paint before the wood floor is put in. I don't know how it's gonna work for the baby though..... if the baby falls on the laminate wood, it will be very painful(comparing to carpet), but if our princess has asthma like her big brother Jacob, the wood floor will certainly help eliminate the dirt and all the stuff that's hiding in the carpet that can induce asthma. Talking about our princess, I can't stop being SO HAPPY about our baby. I am so lucky the Lord loves me SO MUCH that he really fullfills all our desires, even giving us a girl I've always dreamed about. I would appreciate and praise Him the same if He gives us a boy, but a girl is like a dream come true. I know there will probably be a lot of times when I will have headaches and heartdaches and troubles with raising a girl, but it's always a mother's dream to have a little girl to cherish. And now I have the chance to do that with my baby girl. So exciting! I will go in for a monthly prenatal check up this Wednesday. It's going to be very routine, but I just enjoy every part of the pregnancy. This is our last pregnancy and last child so I want to savor each moment.

The girls in my prenatal yoga class were all very happy for me yesterday when I told them we are having a girl. All the other 3 women are expecting boys and I feel SO special to carry a baby girl in my tummy I always enjoy going to the prenatal yoga classes. I don't really get much exercise from it because it's SO mild, but I get to relax and enjoy the time to connect with the baby and with myself. Also to share all the emotions with other pregnant woman and a sweet instructor.

Tomorrow morning is my regular yoga class and I look forward to it too because I can really get some exercise from it and I always feel so refreshed after the class. I will probably take both boys with me since Philip will be busy working on the floor and our house is a mess and too much dirt flowing around in the air. But I hope Jacob will feel ok, and is not teared up by the door waiting for me to pick him up at the child center. Will see.
