First weekend

First weekend with the parents back was terrible. There was so much bickering and fighting I was thankful that Jitoko was working all weekend that he didn't have to bear it. On that note, he was supposed to be working the whole weekend but ended up working only for a few hours on all days which left him tired and exhausted but still took us out.
I'm still working on this watermark thingy but I think I have a clear idea of how I want it done. Now to perfect it.
I took Jaydon to the park. We took him to the carnival and then he took us for drives and it was nice. I think my favourite part was meeting him for meat pies at Denarau marina..that was sweet of him. It was a nice getaway small date, get together, outing.

DBA ignorance

Had a real lesson in database administration today. Have been so focused on having my sites ready and working I had clearly neglected any sort of database administration or maintenance. Went into panic mode today when found that my database went down to only 3MB. Thank God for forums, in my panicky state of frenzy I posted on the stack overflow DBA forum and found there was no need to panic and a few house cleaning and everything was good. 

Database running out of space

with the provided answers that helped save my day. Well not really I just spent the whole day praying and asking God to hold everything together and to move and stood on the reading I saw today on God equipping us and he would move. A whole of of praying and speaking in tongues during lunch. 

The reading? (pasted below)
'The world and all that is in it is Mine...' Psalm 50:12 

The Bible says, '...God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.' (Genesis 2:7 NKJV) Until then, we were just inanimate lumps of clay in human form. At that point God breathed into us two important things:

(1) Imagination. It distinguishes us from all other living creatures. It's what makes us capable of going to the moon, inventing the internet, having a dream, and worshipping our Creator. But even when God gives you a concept; you must work to make it a reality. God said, 'The world and all that is in it is Mine.' That means that when you get ready to build and you only have a few bricks, you can pray for more bricks and God will give them to you. It also means that instead of complaining about what you don't have, you look at what you do have, and what you can make of it with God's help. (2) Freedom of choice. God has empowered you with the ability to make the right choices and act on them. But even though God has given you this ability, don't try to go it alone. Jesus said, 'What is born of...[the physical is physical]; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.' (John 3:6 AMP) Always depend on the Holy Spirit. He's called 'the Helper' for a reason (John 14:26 NKJV). Jesus promised His disciples, 'You shall receive power [ability, efficiency and might] when the Holy Spirit has come upon you...' (Acts 1:8 AMP) Imagination and freedom of choice - use them to glorify God.

He will give us the resources and the man power and the wisdom and everything we need to accomplish it for his glory!

Great Night

For the first time in 6weeks no barking dogs, no late night groggers, no prayers across the road or loud music. Just peace and quiet, none of us woke up in the middle of the night. Not even Jaydon, who had to be carried out of bed at 7:30 because he was still practically knocked out. Unfortunately it looks like tomorrow the fire walking across the road starts. I miss you Corbett st. 

That one little action

Hubby's working late so I'm catching the bus. 

Step out in the rain runing my new shoes that I've only worn to work for the third time- I knew it was a bad idea to wear this today, why didn't I just listen to the voice in my heard that told me not to this morning. 

Our bus comes to a grinding halt at some point with the bus driver and a bunch of people looking out to the right yelling at someone. 

For some reason the bus moves forward,flies backwards then halts for the next 10. 

Turns out theres an accident and a cement truck is stuck on entrance to the bridge but our bus driver is adamant on getting across and now even if it means driving over the edge of the bridge. 

Well I'm not going to wait for the bus to fall into the sabeto river so I get off, in th rain, catch a ride to Lomolomo and wait for something to take me from there to Lautoka. 

There is no traffice coming from that side of the bridge. Twenty minutes later, we're still waiting when the police truck speeds by-real Fiji time. 

Another twenty minutes and the same bus comes and stops infront of us. 

The chinese in me starts arguing with the bus driver that he shouldn't charge me bus fare since I already paid him $2 from the other side of the bridge. Then why you giving me $3 he asks me, oh bloody hell...

He takes $2, I go sit down, the bus is gong through through viseisei village, great. 

We reach the bypass, the bus goes past FNU, the Big supermarket with the Ram in the front and then halts again. 

The bus driver looks to the back and tells everyone to get off and get on the bus in front. What?

Finally make it into Lautoka, get into a cab get home, pay the driver to drop the baby sitter home, walk up the stairs and close the door to realise that I had forgotten to pay her. right well...

Pick up the phone and call her number to tell her to come back and pick it up, I'll pay the extra cost only to have her phone answered by her mother demanding to know where her daughter is. 

I tell her she's just left but I forgot to pay her, we'll come down and drop it off only to have the phone slammed on me. okay!

By this time my little 3year old wants me to put him to sleep, I think I should take a shower first but then I look down at him..I was already late today so better not keep him waiting anymore. 

Climb into bed with him to put him to sleep. I look down at him tired and ask him if I can get a goodnight kiss.

He grabs me with his little arms and wraps himself around my neck, rubbing his little face up against mine. That one action threw everything, the bs ride, the babysitter, the old lady all out the window. Time had stood still and it was all about him now and only him

So Hilarious

Only Pacific Islanders can do it like this and get away with it

All that you've done for me

You're just amazing Lord and I just want to say thank you.

You always come through for us even though come through with be the wrong word to describe you because you're ever so faithful and you're magnificent.

Almighty maker of heaven and earth you never cease to blow us away with your faithfulness. 

Worthy is the lamb that was slain. Worthy is the king who conquered the grave.

This is amazing grace. This is the king of love.

You took my place and my cross father you did all that for me.

Thank you.
