Nervous, Scared & Excited!!

Mother and Son was nervous.


Probably Mum was more nervous. Not exactly sure, it was difficult to tell.


At 13+ years old, this is his 1st day at formal school. Not exactly formal. Its a learning centre. He is preparing for O Levels Cambridge... for the nex 3.5 years. There were 17 others boys and girls who was probably as nervous as him.


"I am so nervous, scared and excited all at the same time!!!" Joel exclaimed just the night before. He has been expecting to start his classes on 4 Jan 2010, since 3 months ago. Emotionally he is prepared, I think.


Today, Friday, after attending classes for a whole week, Joel has declared that school was, "Awesome!!" He is really enjoying his subjects, especially Math, because of the Teacher. The Teacher is an exceptionally good teacher. Science will be conducted at the Zoo next week. Seems like heaps of fun and practical learning moments.


He has sports curriculum on Thursdays and a Badminton Coach has been engaged for those students who would like to learn the basics. Well, he is going for that. He had heaps of fun and I was joining another Mother at the other side of the courts, just for fun. Even Ethaniel has agreed to go under the Coach. This is a good thing. At least, I don't have to make additional effort of getting a Coach for him in the future.


This marks the end of my journey as a Homeschooling Mother. 2010. A start of a new journey, new season. I have been homeschooling since Joel was 5 years old. He is now 13+ years old. That was 8 years ago...


Time to move on.


But to what?

Blessed New Year 2008!

Blessed New Year 2008! Its a beginning of many wonderful things which God has in store for everyone! So, I hope that you will open your heart to receive His plan for you!

As for me, I know that God has many wonderful things for my family and I. The things which I am keen to see is God unfolding His spiritual revelations to my children, helping them to change the characters and attitudes which they are struggling in and draw closer in their relationship with God. Nothing will give me more joy than to see them experiencing God in a very real way.

It will be great if they are diligent in their studies and excel in education! But way above that, I want to see God being central in everything they do and who they are. In today's world and society, it's almost an impossible task to accomplish. Therefore, I need God's double portion of anointing and strength to be the Mother, Teacher, Christian, Wife, Servant and Student, He has called me to be. So, if you can pray for me, I sure need that extra support.

In January 2007, whilst fasting and praying, I received from God,

Joel 2:25-26

²⁵ "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten—
the great locust and the young locust,
the other locusts and the locust swarm
my great army that I sent among you.

²⁶ You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,
and you will praise the name of the LORD your God,
who has worked wonders for you;
never again will my people be shamed."

You know what? I didn't realise until this minute that it has been fulfilled before the 31 Dec 2007!!! There has been struggles in the last 2 years in this particular area but especially in the last 1 year. It has been restored in the last 2 weeks. Wow! God has fulfilled His promise to me. "Thank you, Lord!!!!!" What was humanly impossible, God has done that miracle!!!!

So, if you are still waiting for your miracle, don't give up! The year 2008 has many things in store for everyone of us. "Seek first the Kingdom of God and everything else will be added to you..."
