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. 

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.
