Monday, August 09, 2010. For everything there is a season. 8220;For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:. A time to be born, and a time to die;. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;. A time to kill, and a time to heal;. A time to break down, and a time to build up;. A time to weep, and a time to laugh;. A time to mourn, and a time to dance;. A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;. A time to seek, and a time to lose;. And in...

INKLINGS: June 2009
http://priscillachanwong.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 28, 2009. The Shadow of Death. We have to know. MJ died. As if, by knowing, his ending would somehow become less tragic. As if, by knowing, Death—especially when it catches us off guard—would somehow be more acceptable to us. (But doesn’t Death. Catch us off guard? Hope that, on the other side of this life, there is indeed a better place, a place of peace, a place where everything is right or as it ought to be. CS Lewis, in his essay, “The Weight of Glory,” wrote:. 8212;C.S. Lewis,. In 1798,...

Thursday, September 10, 2009. Personal Holiness: The Anatomy of Confessing Our Sins. 8220;Now confession of sin and personal holiness do not refer to the same thing. Confession of sin is a. Growth in grace depends on the means of grace established by God: word and sacrament, faithful worship, practical obedience. But if unconfessed sin is deliberately ignored, the growth will always be stunted, no matter how much the means of grace are applied. So what is true confession? God requires believers to confes...

INKLINGS: July 2010
http://priscillachanwong.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 29, 2010. While it is important to bear in mind particular principles of parenting (more importantly, biblical principles), a lot of times, how to carry out that principle can be challenging. There isn’t always some method out there you can simply follow. This came to me as I’ve been reflecting on Nathaniel’s strengths and weaknesses (one of the devotions I’ve been doing recommended that you take the time to do this for your child so that you can pray for them). Sometimes, the food station...

INKLINGS: Cultivating JOY in the Home
http://priscillachanwong.blogspot.com/2010/04/lost-in-translation.html
Monday, April 26, 2010. Cultivating JOY in the Home. You know sometimes when you happen to be interacting with a toddler—he or she talks to you, and immediately, you look at the mother for a translation? Well, in case you ever happen to be talking to Nathaniel, here is some help in understanding him:. Nathaniel knows his numbers from 1 to 10. However:. One = “WEE”. Seven = “FOO” (I have no idea why). Thanks = “Ting”. Circle = “Der Doe”. Push = “Beesh”. Triangle = “Keu”. Do your husband and children look ...

INKLINGS: Relying on God's Strength
http://priscillachanwong.blogspot.com/2010/07/relying-on-gods-strength.html
Sunday, July 18, 2010. Relying on God's Strength. 8220;I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13. It is day three of my going at this “mother of two” thing on my own. The husband returned to work on Monday. While I couldn’t ask for better circumstances (a son who can play quite independently, and a newborn who, so far, exhibits minimal crying), taking care of two has posed some new challenges. I’ve been re-reading D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones’s. In these quiet moments when the childr...

INKLINGS: August 2009

Monday, August 24, 2009. A Perspective on Motherhood. I’ve been a mother–a stay-at-home-mom—for a little over fifteen months now. A question that sometimes surfaces in my conversations with people is, “Do you ever get bored? Time But it actually made time go by faster.”. 8221; (I’m so thankful my husband actually caught the moment on video–Nathaniel and I both sleeping in the wee hours of the morning when he was only a few weeks old.). Every night, as his bedtime nears, I. So often I have been just as gu...

Saturday, May 09, 2009. A Follow-up on my Previous Blog Entry. Though I'm not happy about the wooden fence that now blocks my once unhindered view of the forest, I appreciate the fact that our neighbours offered an explanation as well as an apology. Their letter also made me realize that one really has to try to consider another person's point of view before passing judgment. Posted by Light of Life. Tuesday, May 05, 2009. I Need Only Step Outside. The heavens declare the glory of God,. But perhaps learn...

INKLINGS: November 2009

Thursday, November 26, 2009. The God of Small Things. Nathaniel is eighteen and a half months old. I can tell he is maturing. His mental development seems to have skyrocketed in the past couple of months. I realize that he and I can engage in a lot more activities than we ever did before. I feel like it is such a privilege to be able to be. To introduce the world to him. Passive aggression in an eighteen-month-old? Okay, he just wants my attention, so I am purposely not going to give it to him. I turned ...

INKLINGS: October 2010
http://priscillachanwong.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 04, 2010. The Need for Self-Discipline in order to Discipline. Disciplining children is such a challenge because it requires so much. You have to be prompt. You have to be consistent. You have to be discerning and wise (and by this, I mean biblical). You have to be loving (not disciplining out of anger or irritation). And the hardest of them all: you have to be sure not to dangle temptation before their eyes. Now that Nathaniel is two-years-old, discipline on my part is much more crucial ...
