Laundries Drained Me

These are 30% of the clothes I washed with my hands. 

    Whew! I was up hand washing dirty clothes for almost five hours. It made my back painful.This is one of the toughest job every mother is facing. If I can only get rid of this chores. But....
    Stephany usually do the laundry every Saturday because I make it sure that I washed the 2 kids, mine and my hubby's clothes everyday.
    But still the dirty clothes every Saturday is like mountain because my younger brother  brought  home his one week's dirty clothes from his dormitory. Plus we change our bedsheets pillow cases and towels during this day.
    Stephany informed me that she had to wash clothes on Friday because their Prelim Examination was moved to Saturday. I want to make protest Jonathan's clothes are the major laundry on Saturday, it means there is no other person who can wash it but me. Another is, She will use washing machine, we only use it once a week. So I'll end up washing with my bare hands. I'm afraid that if we break the routine..(use Washing machine once a week) our electric bill would soar high. It would mean a strain to our monthly budget.
      I really have to do the hand washing! I am tempted to use the washing machine but the electric bill!? If only my hubby could  afford  to provide  an energy saving device connected to our electrical meter I would not be hesitant to use any electrical device that would make my job as a mother lighter and easier.

Some of the clothes I hand washed still in the laundry line not yet fully dry.

Thanking God

   

     In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus ( I Thessalonian 5:18). 
   It is is really difficult to do this especially when we are confronted with many pressures and trials in life. Just 3 day ago my daughter Juwella has a fever. I was beginning to worry about things which do not exist yet. The "what if"....What if Juwella has dengue- it is on it's season in the Philippines during rainy days. What if she has viral infection and it will get worst? The very root cause of these worries is the financial aspect and maybe lack of faith.
    Many Filipinos don't have savings or any budget for health aspects. Going to the hospital for check up is not a habit. We went to see doctors when health problem gets worst. It is our least priority. But when sickness comes at the back of my mind is the thought of neglecting to have a "Pre-med plan" for myself and my children. I want to blame my self for this but what can I do when my budget is just enough for our basic needs.
   Now, I'm in this reality who can help but my faith. My faith that God is our healer. He will heal my daughter from her sickness. God knows our capacity. He knows our limitations. He allows thing to happen for a purpose that we might know Him more and grow in our faith.
   Though Juwella is not completely healed right now. I trust God that He will do it. He will even enable my family to get a  medical plan for my us so we could be prepared. He allowed me to see this so I will know the need and has to consider it.
   " Thank you Lord for letting me see things as You see it. Thank you for giving me faith to believe. Thank you for letting me experience trials so I can see You working in my life. Thank You for all these experiences. Thank you for the realization that you allowed things for your greater glory! Amen!"

       So sad for small and weak animals they are food for bigger and mightier animals. But God created them for this purpose.

Two Sleeps More

         I cant wait for this.... my husband promised to paint the wall of our bedroom. He decided to paint it by himself. Getting laborer for the painting will cost much. I want to be surprised what paint he will use and the color..... Surprise!

        Painting it does not only make the room alive but also it will protect the walls and the ceiling.
