His tender mercies are over all his works

-

It is amazing how God created the world. Even in its cursed state, I can still see the beauty of His handiwork. How much more glorious will the redeemed world be! From the vast skies above to the depths of the seas, from the tallest trees to the smallest creatures in the animal kingdom—God is revealed.

This has been my realization this week as I taught my homeschooler about one of God's most fascinating creations: insects! They are so small and unique, yet they serve a very important purpose in God’s plan. God even used them as instruments of judgment against Egypt before the Passover—gnats, flies, and locusts. The Bible also mentions bees, caterpillars, fleas, beetles, grasshoppers, hornets, lice, spiders, and ants!

My girls are so fascinated by these little creatures. They especially love reading the Miss Spider’s Sunny Patch Friendsbook series, which highlights values about family. I thank the Lord that they love to read and explore through books. We even made a craft using leaves and turned them into bugs.

What a lovely week of learning! Praise the Lord for His creation and faithfulness!

 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark:… Genesis 8:1 

This is Jochebed’s craft. She carefully selected those leaves outside. 
Tabitha’s craft is made up of Moringa leaves. She removed the leaves from the stem herself and attached them onto the paper.

Little Heart of Gratitude

-
It’s been a while since I posted something here, and today, I’d like to share a very short yet loving message I heard from my eldest daughter that truly uplifted my spirit as a mother and homemaker. Fridays are always the busiest day for me. It’s the day I schedule all the household cleaning—on top of homeschooling, cooking, and taking care of the girls. The morning starts with breakfast, devotion, homeschooling, and then cleaning. I let the girls help in any way they can—wiping furniture, cleaning windows, vacuuming floors, and so on. Fridays usually leave me with back pain, so after a whole day of work, I grab a cup of tea and rest for a while. One Friday, as I was seated and applying some healing cream to relieve my back pain, my eldest daughter said something that brought me more relief than the cream in my hand. She simply said, “Thank you, Nanay, for cleaning the house.” That simple word of appreciation filled my heart with joy. She knows I love keeping a clean house because it’s...

Homeschooling journey is about to start!

When my husband and I began thinking about starting a family, we earnestly prayed for wisdom regarding how we would educate our future children. Given the growing influence of secular values in education, we never imagined entrusting our children to that system. But the Lord revealed to us a different and uncommon path—homeschooling, centered on godliness. Homeschooling was entirely new to me, but God, in His grace, surrounded me with godly Christians who offered insights, encouragement, and even helpful materials to support our homeschooling journey. Today, my eldest daughter is four years old, and I’ve been homeschooling her for several years now. As she turns five this year and begins formal schooling, I’m incredibly grateful to the Lord for leading us to a Christian homeschool provider—the Philippine Christian School of Tomorrow. Last week, we visited the school for her assessment and for me to receive training on how to use their materials. At first, it felt overwhelming, but I tr...

Growing in His Word

-
I am so thankful for God’s grace poured out through our Bible education at church. I am learning so much and being deeply challenged in my walk with the Lord. The men in our church are faithfully sharing the Word of God, and it’s evident that the Lord is using them mightily. We are currently studying the books of Judges, Zechariah, Proverbs, and Habakkuk—books that are not often preached in many churches today. I’m especially grateful that we get to praise God and grow in our knowledge of who He is through these often-overlooked portions of Scripture. Our church also offers courses through the Bible Institute, such as Old and New Testament Surveys. The more we learn, the more we are stirred to live like Christ—and the more we feel the burden and joy of sharing the grace of the Lord with others. Truly, God transforms His children through His Word. All glory and praise to God Almighty! If you’ve come across this page and would like to hear some of the sermons, check out this link and be ...
