PULSE “My mother was the pillar of strength in our family. In 1998, she was hospitalized because of diabetes. It was during that time when she accepted Christ. Eventually, she led all her children, four sons and four daughters-inlaw, to know the Lord. Although she is not with us today, her legacy lives on. Today, most of us – and our families – are faithfully serving in church. Indeed, God lavishes His love and blessing to the generations.” – Barnabas Lee

Motherhood is a God-given calling. Though it is filled with a unique set of challenges, the sense of satisfaction and fulfilment is unparalleled.”

Today, my daughter Rachel is pursuing Marketing Communications in an overseas university. She is strong, healthy, and never misses an opportunity to give me her opinion or advice on just about anything! “As a working mom, I admit that it’s not always smooth sailing. There were times when it’s difficult to set aside time for my kids or to discipline them when they don’t get along. Nevertheless, it is a joy to see them grow up and write encouraging cards for me. Sometimes they even encourage me with a Power Word!” – Nancy Ang, mother of Esther (9) and Joseph (6)

“Rachel was born after a long season of waiting so my husband and I were thrilled when we could finally hold her in our arms. The feeling of joy turned to despair when, a few months later, she fell very sick. She endured frequent trips to the hospital and had to be put on strong medication. There were times when we didn’t know if she would even survive. In these dark moments, I turned to God in prayer, asking Him to restore my daughter’s health and life. I also sought Him for strength because I had to be strong for my daughter.

Motherhood is a God-given calling. Though it is filled with a unique set of challenges, the sense of satisfaction and fulfilment is unparalleled.” – Elizabeth Daniel, mother of Rachel (21)
