Let us Spur One Another in Love

in Homeschool, Homelife, Uncategorized · October 8, 2013

Non-traditional Birthday

Jianne celebrated her 7th birthday in a non-traditional way. Instead of having the usual party, we opted to go the other route. Since Jianne already told me she doesn’t want a big celebration, I tried to convince her otherwise. But she won and we planned an educational yet fun activity for the four of us.

Her birthday fell on a Wednesday, October 2 and I just prepared Tuna Mac and Cheese, Roasted Chicken and Banana Cupcake with Peanut Butter Frosting. I bought her pink balloons too for the home.

That weekend we spent our afternoon at Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa Laguna. We would have wanted a Disneyland trip but we have to consider our budget so maybe next time.  Before arriving at EK, we knew beforehand that they had a special rate for teachers but we were surprised that aside from the discounted rate which was 450PHP (regular rate is 600PHP) we also got free snacks, 4 burgers and 4 drinks! They also gave us pins to commemorate National Teacher’s Month. Peewee said he felt great being honored in a simple way.

The following day, we headed to Sta. Elena Fun Farm also in Laguna. The farm is great for families who want to have a feel of the farm life. For a fee of 300 PHP we got to do all sorts of fun activities. We rode a carriage drawn by Chocnut, the resident carabao with its coach, Kuya Arnold. We were able to go around the entire farm and saw the beauty of the place. It was relaxing to see such greenery!. Trees filled every area that I couldn’t help but take photos of them.

Kids got to feed the fat rabbits and guinea pigs too. Birds, ducks and other feathered friends were free to roam anywhere. Peewee and Jianne even rode an equestrian horse! They also spent time fishing for tilapia too. There were obstacle courses within the area for the energetic kids and adults also. Picnic areas are available for families want to have lunch in the farm.   The farm is well-maintained that’s why they expect their guests to respect their policy of using only reusable containers. No plastic allowed. Maintain cleanliness at all times.

One thing we noticed too is that there were no mosquitoes at all. Our mosquito repellant was useless in this place. Unfortunately, we were not able to go to Holy  Carabao where they sell organic veggies and meat. We will be back, that’s for sure.

My husband and I plant do one activity per month. It may be an out-of-town trip or just a fun exposure for the kids. He says that activities like that stretch the kids’ borders. They learn new things and get exposed to different situations where they can react, respond, be inspired or moved to action.

I am currently planning our next “Stretch activity”…hmmm where could we go next? What activities are you doing to “stretch” your kids?

One thing I LOVE to do is encourage people. And I One thing I LOVE to do is encourage people. And I use words to do that either on social media, in my blog, or my book. 

Not everyone will LOVE what I put out there, and that's okay. Because someone who needs those words of encouragement would LOVE them. 

I got this key point towards the latter part of episode 68 of @simonsinek ‘s podcast called A Little Bit of Optimism. He was talking to Carla Hall, a chef, author, and motivational speaker. 

Although they were talking about how they ‘fell’, the conversation headed in the direction of loving what you do. 

Do check out that episode maybe it’ll hit you differently than me. Send me a DM and ill share the episode link with you 💕

There's another part of comparison that we uninten There's another part of comparison that we unintentionally do. It's looking at other people’s trials and comparing them with ours.

We all have burdens to carry. And in each burden, the Lord is either correcting or teaching us. 

Each trial is personal. So who's to say someone’s troubles are more burdensome than the other? 

Let's avoid saying, “Oh, I have bigger worries than you”. Because we don't see what the Lord is doing in the other person’s life. 

Remember, God doesn't love us equally but uniquely. Even in the challenges we encounter, He has a unique purpose in all of them. 

📖
“Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.” James 1:2-4 The Message

It's a little personal. Scroll up if you're not up It's a little personal. Scroll up if you're not up to it. 

My recent battle with emotions exposed an ugly truth—I operate on validation from other people. The praise and ‘good job’ became my fuel and when I don't get it, I feel unwanted and insignificant. 

But God, in his graciousness, allowed me to discover it in the quiet moments. Going through that painful season is necessary to shake the drama off of my life and keep me sober. 

He uses His Word to validate who I am and who He is. What a liberating feeling to finally have this awareness so I can press on joyfully. 

Only God can use a most desperate season to bring about His holy purpose in our lives. What the devil meant for evil, God meant for good. Praise You, Lord!
