My family and I will be going to Batangas later to join the other employees of Shepherd’s Voice for our company’s summer outing. I am so AWED by how God answers even the “shallowest” of my prayers!
You see, earlier this summer, my dad and brother and his family went for a beach getaway, and we couldn’t join them because of work and lack of funds. The kids felt a bit left out that their cousins all got to play in the sand and surf while they were stuck in the city. Hubby and I promised them we’d be able to go on a trip like that somehow, someday. 🙂
Well, I didn’t know then that that “somehow, someday” would come all too soon — just before the end of summer! God, YOU and Your grace are amazing indeed! 🙂
Anyway, I still need to pack for the trip, but I just couldn’t help blogging about the latest developments in my life as a family girl (see above!), writer and blogger:
1. Homeschooling on School Talk.ph
I am so blessed to be connected to other homeschool moms like Teachermama Monica! 🙂 Because of her, I was introduced to a great new website about education in the Philippines, School Talk. And as a bonus blessing, I was invited to be a regular contributor! AWESOME! Praise GOD! 🙂
Please do check out my first article about — what else?! Haha! — homeschooling, specifically, back-to-school tips for homeschoolers (which I really need to put into practice myself! LOL!). Feel free to share it with others and leave your comments below the article. 🙂
Please also show School Talk some love on and . You can also subscribe to School Talk via e-mail (just enter your email address in the space provided in the footer – scroll down and you’ll be sure to find it!)
I love the fact that other fellow homeschool advocates / mom bloggers have also written articles for School Talk! 🙂 Check out Chris of The Mommy Journey‘s article here and Martine of Dainty Mom‘s article here. 😀 Hurray for homeschooling! 🙂
2. The Learning Basket’s Giveaway c/o Kindermusik with Teacher Suzette and Friends
Have you seen my fellow mom, Mariel’s latest giveaway? Hop on over to The Learning Basket and get a chance to win awesome prizes c/o Kindermusik with Teacher Suzette and Friends! 🙂 (In case you didn’t already know, we LOVE Kindermusik with Teacher Suzette and Friends! Click here to find out why!)

3. More giveaways coming up on the blog! 🙂
There are a couple of Amazing Grace giveaways still ongoing here and I am SOOOO HAPPY to announce that even if Pentecost has already come and gone, the Holy Spirit is definitely alive and kicking in my life, and even in this blog! 🙂 {Thank YOU, Lord!}
I am super happy to announce that a few great people have contacted me about sponsoring prizes for more giveaways – HURRAY! 🙂 Watch out for those this June! {By the way, I’ll be announcing the winners of the first two Medela Moms giveaways when we get back from Batangas! Sorry for the delay!}
4. More inspiring posts coming up! 🙂
When I did my last post for the 50 Days of Amazing Grace series, I asked everyone if they wanted it to be a regular feature on the blog, and I am so overwhelmed at the positive response! 🙂 I am humbled and happy that God uses this blog somehow, someway to touch other people! {Thank You, Lord, again!}
Needless to say, there will definitely be more Amazing Grace posts on this blog in the future, though maybe not on a daily basis. 🙂 In fact, I still have a few pending posts for the Amazing Grace for Moms series (sorry for the delay, ladies!). So watch out for those, too! 🙂
OK, that’s it for now. Time to finish packing! 🙂 God bless, everyone! 🙂
P.S. Just thought I’d leave you with some inspiration from Hillsong. 🙂 Believe that God will see you, see us, through it all!
