    Just had our baby in April. She is the of our livies joy right now. We are so thankful to God for her. We see God’s beautiful work in her.
    However, you are right. You should soak into all the me time you can get before the baby comes in. Catch up on all the sleep you can so that you are mentally prepared to take care of your baby. At the end of the day, cuddling with your child is one of the greatest blessings in life. But it doesn’t come easily. But its certainly worth the effort.

    Your words were exactly what I needed to hear right now. Feeling a little bit under the weather these days because of my job, co workers and the situation. I thank God because He used people like you to talk to me and make me understand that I am loved and I dont need to prove anything to anyone, I have God and that is enough. God bless you and your journey. Please continue inspiring us. Really love your designs also. 💕💕💕💕

    Well said. It's not so much do what you love, but do what you do with love and you will be content doing it. I have worked many years mentoring people with a disability and mental illness to find employment, sometimes its their first job at 30 years old. The joy on their face to do a task that they make their own.

    As crestons wife I love creative writing and I love decorating I love those two artistic gifts. God has given me both of those artistic gifts I love them both when I was a teenager I used to love drawing and I do like pottery and painting pottery I want to take a creative writing class online at the end of the year starting out and I would like to try to learn the ukelele I learned the clarinet in band in elementary and Jr high.

    “You don’t have to follow the narrative that you have to love your job for it to be meaningful or worth doing.” “Your job is not your identity.” Thanks for pointing that out, because I think too many people misinterpret “liking” something for “meaning” in that something. I also noticed that most people think their job is their identity. Like, when kindergarteners or other elementary school children are asked what they want to “be” when they grow up, and every answer is a job. They’re never asked what they want to “do” when they grow up. It’s always what they want to “be.” Also, they’re never corrected as, “That’s just a job. I didn’t ask what you want to do. I asked what you want to be.” And then, defining the difference between “do” and “be.” No one ever gives that correction. Then, when the person is an adult and he has no job, most people label him “lazy.” As if THAT’S his identity. They don’t even know the person’s story as to why he doesn’t have a job, and they wouldn’t believe or accept it if the person told them. The only accepted answer is that his first day at a job is tomorrow or today or yesterday. Seems like most people put identity into a job. And so, it’s no surprise when people think their meaning and worth is reflected by their job, or whether they love their job. So, thanks for pointing out what you said.
    With that in mind, I want people to realize that your net worth is not your worth. You’re not worth how much you have in the bank. So, if you have 100,000 dollars, you’re not worth 100,000 dollars. If you have five cents, you’re not worth five cents. You’re priceless no matter how much money you have.
    Anh, you have such great decoration skills that I imagine you opening a spa or a designing company.

    I needed to hear this… I’ve been contemplating whether to stay or to leave because I don’t love my current job. My fiancé has been supportive through it all. But he has said to me that I don’t need to love it, it doesn’t define me and that I don’t need to prove myself but hearing it from you Anh, I hear it loud and clear! Funny how we need to hear the message over and over again before it really sinks in.

    We can be content and have a good testimony while striving for better. On a personal note, God has a tendency to take us through the same thing until we learn what He wants us to learn. After decades of God growing me more like Him, I find I am further from the goal than I thought years ago BUT I am also closer to Him than I was years ago. Blessings and peace to you as I kind of consider the two of you like a son and daughter.

    Completely off-topic, but do you walk Ollie each time he has to potty or does he go on the balcony? This place looks much easier to exit than your high rise in case of a puppy emergency but I always wonder how city dogs get there business done! I would be lazy and tempted to use the balcony esp in the morning and at bedtime... I can't wait for your house to be ready!!! It's going to be so fun watching you decorate and Ollie play outside!!!
