WFW - Deuteronomy 1:21

When we feel discouraged, we should always remember the promises God has made to us. The Israelites themselves experienced severe trials while they were in the desert, but in the end, they finally made it into the land that God has promised them.

Whatever you might be undergoing, do not lose heart. Do not be discouraged!
We have hope in the Lord Jesus!

Then Sings My Soul Saturdays: Trust His Heart

God is too wise to be mistaken,

God is too good to be unkind...

So when you don't understand,

when you can't see His plan.

When you can't trace His hand,

Trust His heart.

Our First Year Homeschooling

The school year is almost over. We are about to finish up on our lessons and conclude our 1st year of homeschooling. It has been a great journey so far. I am so grateful that we have more "up" days than "down" days so far. I have seen my daughter grew in her love of reading, learning and studying the Word of God. I also learned more about my daughter's strengths and weaknesses. My son also has finally begun to love learning on his own.

We were also blessed to have been able to find a local homeschool support group which meets once a month. I have learned so much from veteran homeschooling parents and of course, I am glad that my kids met other children who are homeschooled too. At least, they know that they are not alone in their homeschooling journey. We were also able to find a ballet class located near our home so we could easily attend the classes. In fact, they will be having ballet recital very soon.

During this summer break, I want to find an art class, sports lessons or music lessons too. We might look for guitar lessons or piano lessons which are affordable. We were not able to focus much on those areas during the school year but I am really praying for good resources.

It is truly inspiring to see your kids learn and to learn about them at the same time! Thank you Lord for such a great opportunity that you gave me.

WFW - Deuteronomy 3:28

I can't imagine how Moses must have felt knowing that he will not be able to go into the promised land. Imagine, he has been leading the Israelites for awhile now. But instead of sulking, the Lord has special instruction for him. He is to commission, encourage and strengthen Joshua.

When something in our life doesn't go the way we expected them to be, we should seek the Lord's direction and go along with His plans. Let us not allow our emotions to overcome us, instead, continue on serving the Lord and doing His will for the glory of God!

Introducing Mommy Talks

I will be launching a new section under my parenting blog The Mommy Journey. It will be called Mommy Talks. Mommy Talks is my new monthly feature of the different moms around us. Hopefully, we will be able to feature different celebrity moms, single moms, moms with special kids, moms with businesses, moms with multiple kids, working moms, work-at-home moms, homeschooling moms, young moms and many others. I want to feature these moms because I know that we can all find inspiration together from other moms! We can also learn from their unique experiences. Hopefully, we can also encourage one another. Being a mom is no easy job and there is no short cut in becoming a good mom. We may be in unique situations but we all have a mom's heart. My prayer is that may God use this as an avenue where moms will be encouraged and inspired to become the moms that God has intended them to be.

I actually created a very simple logo for this new feature section. I am not very good with logo design ideas so I hope that this logo that I created is nice enough! :) Mommy Talks will start this Thursday and will be a monthly feature. Hope to see you there!
