| A huge hug from Daddy at the airport before Tessa bids farewell for the next 2 weeks |
Being back in Nagoya has been rather surreal. This place has so much memories, yet my mind seems to be lagging in processing any nostalgic emotions. I know it's probably because both mum and Tessa are here with me, and Tessa requires all my attention every second that she's awake. I hope I can find time at night when Tessa's sleeping to journal about this trip.
Was really moved by Kenken and Ayako's wedding. My heart was filled with praises as I thought about how God brought them together. Not that everything was perfect (yes,there was a great deal of mistakes and misunderstandings and should haves/ should have nots), but in the end, I know that this is a couple that truly loves and pursues the heart of God. And I know that God looks upon them with great delight. May they build a house of faith that will continue from generation to generation here in Japan.
I was also awed by how wonderful Ayako's family is. Though they do not know Christ, they exhibited so much love and respect for each other. Much more than many Christian families that I know... Why are there so many broken marriages and disfunctional families amongst those who proclaim they are followers of Christ??? My heart hurts when I think about this... God, help Victor and I build a family the way you have intended a family to be. Help us to be the kind of husband/ wife and father/mother that reflects all the love and grace that you've shown us. I really want Tessa to grow up in a home where Christ lives with us...
Tessa seems to have changed a little since she turned one. She's so much more active and demanding now! When she doesn't get what she wants, she yells and breaks into tears so quickly. I'm honestly feeling my huge lack to be a patient and self-controlled mum.
Anyway, here's some pictures of Day 1-3 in Nagoya... I actually forgot to bring my camera to the wedding!!! (T_T')
