Thank You, God, for Blessing Me is a children's e-book for children two to six years old. It's about a plump caterpillar called Little Hermie praying to God. He enumerates the blessings he is thankful to God for. This story is to inspire little children to also look around, smile and bow their heads in prayers of thanksgiving. One Christian value I want to instill in my children is thankfulness. I read this with my 5-year-old aloud and asked her to copy Little Hermie and say his prayer of … [Read more...]
Trusting Issues, Cymplified!
Do you know what's humbling? Knowing that someone trusts you completely and absolutely. My son loves to stand on the edge of our bed, call my attention and fall into my outstretched arms. What if I changed my mind and decided not to catch him? He doesn't think of that. A child-like trust is wonderful, and God likes that from us. Do you know what I realized the other day? When we commute: ride a taxi, a jeepney, the LRT or a tricycle, we are placing our lives in the hands of the drivers and … [Read more...]
Cymple Days Love {kids+style}, Cymplified!
Yesterday evening, the nanny went home to the province for a three-day vacay and to do some errands. Today, it was just me and the children. When it's time for the nanny to really leave for good, I ponder whether to hire a new one or not. Cymple Days Love {kids+style}I enjoyed today's little blessings: Caleb and Cayla took their naps. Elle got interested in washing dishes so I taught her how. Then, the three of them drew and played together. The pair of shorts I bought … [Read more...]
Encourage Our Children, Cymplified!
We, as mothers, want to encourage our children, right? We want their beautiful and unique personalities to shine, exactly how God had made them. Yet, there just are most some days when my 5-year-old Elle and I seem to have a power struggle. I would see the fiery defiance in her eyes and feel that I have failed somehow as a mother. It just is super challenging to guide her to be a responsible person, without dampening her creative spirit. The responsibility of parenting is so overwhelming … [Read more...]
Solo Flight, Cymplified!
Thanks to OMF Literature, I got the book Solo Flight by Grace D. Chong and Francie Castañeda-Lacanilao. You might be wondering why I, a married person, would read a book about singlehood. Well, I was curious, for one. And also, before I hand this book over to my Christian, single friend (if she haven't read it already), I wanted to read it first since it was signed and addressed to me. Ha ha! Who wouldn't want to soar and be the best at his or her chosen field or calling? Some may do it with a … [Read more...]
Ask To Receive, Cymplified!
Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. As children of God, we need not hesitate to ask, seek and knock, especially from Him our heavenly Father. "Of course, we can ask God for our heart's desire --- for as long as it is in harmony with His will." -Solo Flight by Grace D. Chong & Francie Castañeda-Lacanilao I … [Read more...]
Uncovering God’s Word, Cymplified!
My word for this year is shine. One way I want to shine is to read the Bible each day to fuel me to be a better follower of Jesus Christ. How could I shine and reflect Jesus if I don't read and apply God's Word, my guidance, to my life? I am thankful to Pastor @RickWarren for sharing this application I could use to subscribe to devotionals that would encourage me to read the Bible every day. This app is called the YouVersion. It has a myriad of Bible translations and languages. It allows me to … [Read more...]
