Lately, i had been thinking about:
- My own devotion time
- Homeschooling
Ashamed to say but still i have to admit that i am only a Sunday worshipper. I did not join any ministry in Church and all i did was to pray every morning and before bedtime. Other than doing the daily prayers, i did nothing to strengthen my faith. After being a Sahm, i realised how much i needed God in my life, his love, mercies, forgiveness, strength, faith and wisdom to guide me each day. Nevertheless, i am still not happy with my spiritual life and used to complain and compare between denominations. How can people like me, of little faith, teach Faustina the word of God? I really prayed that i can do more and to bring up Faustina the way God wants me. Faustina will be attending catechism class next year and i really prayed that i would be empowered by God’s strength and wisdom to guide her!
Yes, recently, i became a jolly blog hopper researching about homeschooling! I can only exclaimed: “SALUTE to all HOMESCHOOLERS MUMMIES!!!!”
Ignorant as can be, i used to think that Faus, at this age of 2+, i just need to cover the languages, English and Chinese. Actually, i am trying to find out more on Chinese homeschooling but i ended discovering more!!!!!! These homeschoolers mummies not only teach the BASICS but they also cover:
- Biblical teachings
- Maths
- Science
- Literature
- Geography
- Music
- Foreign Languages
- Art and Craft
I almost fainted when i saw the list and even started to get worried……..
I am not a widely read person and if you had been reading my blog, sadly to say, it was for the benefit of Faustina, that i actually visited the library reguarly now! Haiz……
Only one word to decribe my feelings: “WOW” and my perception is homeschoolers may even be able to excel much more than those who attended public schools!
After reading all these blogs, i felt even more lousy than ever………that’s a very human part of me.
Instead, i shall not compare myself or faus with others, afterall, we are both specially created! 
Praise the lord for bringing me through all these blogs and that these homeschoolers mummies are like angels send to provide me with more aspirations and encouragement. I prayed that i would have a meek and humble heart to learn and make my job as a Sahm a ever more fufilling one………
