Katiyem, our domestic helper left us for her home this morning. Last night, our families got together a farewell dinner in our home for her. I am kind of sad even though I know that this day will come. As I rested on my bed this morning, I vividly recalled the day when we brought her home to our family 8 years ago.

Throughout the years, she get along well with the boys. There were times when we reprimanded her for her mistakes, there were times when we got to laugh and chat and there were also times when we exercised strictness but all these was for her own good. Just like I used to tell her "When you work here, you are treated like our family members and it is definite that we would be all out to protect her from any external harm from those ungodly. We are strict but we meant well." I thank God that she is understanding.

Even I do feel sad about her departure, on the other hand, I am very happy that I returned her back to her parents in good hand. As least, I am answerable to them. Now, I pray that she will reached home safely.

Our family are adjusting ourselves as we wait upon the arrival of the new helper. I pondered alot about that too...will the new helper click well with the kids ? Is she trustworthy? So many questions seem to appear in my mind. I thank God that somehow He spoke to me when I read on one daily devotion passage.

Genesis 6:8 says that "Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord". Noah's name means "rest". So the verse is telling me that rest found grace. In another word, when I rest, I will find grace!

I know that God is asking me to Stop thinking, stop pondering...just REST. All I need to do is to rest in the Lord and trust Him. Trust that He will send us a good helper. Trust that He can and will do a perfect work of taking care of this issue for me.

I thank God for this passage because once I understood, I find peace. I find myself letting go of this issue. He told me in His word, "He is my refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1)

Forever in His love~
