The day after Luke's birthday I was able to join a 20k run at the Fort, in Global City. Got up early at 3am to get ready and at 4am was picked up by a friend to go to the race. Keren, Kurt and I went there and were surprised to that the event was so different from the one we just recently joined a few weeks earlier. This was definitely smaller and less of a hoopla. The 20k race started at 5:15 and off I went with all the other runners. I started on a good pace and tried to do a 9 minute mile. After hitting 10k that's when I started to get tired. Mentally I had to quote verses and remind myself of the race I am in as a Christian. It really helped me to meditate on the Word and sing songs in my head. This was a harder run than the ones previous half-marathon I've done. This is the first time I ran without a partner. I used to run races with Nathaniel but since he's had knee injury he had to stop running. But anyhow, the Lord helped and sustained my strength until the finish line. I finished it at 2hrs, 5 min. Praise the Lord for his mercies!

Luke's 12th Birthday
December 10, 2010
Luke turned 12 a few days ago. We're so thankful for our son. He was all excited, everyone was excited for him. He got up early to play basketball with his dad, then we had breakfast in the terrace. Nathaniel had a little devotion before breakfast and shared from Psalm 127 " Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward...blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!" He opened up his presents and of course he knew most of the things he got from his wish list. We took him later on to watch the Narnia movie "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" at Greenhills. Later that afternoon he had another basketball game with his friends. What a great blessing it was to celebrate our firstborn's 12th birthday.

Singles' Conference- One Single Passion
So thankful that we were able to take some of our young people (about 20 of them) to the singles' conference entitled "One Single Passion" at Higher Rock Church last November 29. Nathaniel was one of the speakers at the session. It was a wonderful time of learning and fellowship time with singles from other churches. There were about 300 young people who attended the conference. Praise God for all that we learned and what He will accomplished in the lives of these singles as a result of this conference.
