Remember to recharge

(me and my dad having fun hand wrestling)
😇When you are recharged, you feel happy and not grumpy😊 

God's word - psalm 23. The Lord is my shepherd. He gives me everything I need. He lets me lie down in fields of green grass. He leads me beside quiet waters. He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths for the honor of his name. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid.You are with me.Your shepherd’s rod and staff comfort me.You prepare a feast for me right in front of my enemies. 

You pour oil on my head. My cup runs over. I am sure that your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life. And I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

My words - psalm 23. Is a song of David when he sang praises to the lord, he sang God is his shepherd. The Lord gives David all his needs. God refreshes David's soul. God directs David the right path to do the right things, even there is darkness near David, he is not afraid because God is always with him whenever he goes, and always comforts David, times that David is in front of his enemies God encourage him, makes him happy. God's happiness and love will stay on David in all of the days of his life.

I Will:

• Follow God's directions in everything I do.   
• Be joyful in everything i do. 
• Be grateful by the things that God gave me.

😄 Even in dark times God is always with us 😄

When i ask God to recharge. He makes me strong physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

These are the things that i need to improve and recharge with God supplying all my needs.

• Spiritually. Target time would be 5AM family devotional (so that me, mom and dad get morning exercise).  Apply God's word in my daily life and use it to share about God's love. 
• Physically. Eat healthy food properly.  Morning exercise (soccer training) with my mom and dad. Sleep and wake up early. 
• Mentally. Gain more wisdom, initiative, creativity in skills and academic subjects.
• Emotionally. Self-control of my bad attitudes. Love others is like loving God.

😊 This video inspired me even i have lots of failures, God is merciful. He loves me so much. 😊

Compete with Courage

(Me and Coach JC, picture courtesy of Coach JC)

When my mom saw what my coach posted about circumcision. I felt trembling with fear when she said "Come on! Otnie, you must have circumcision or else! by next year...you will be busy." Then i said "no! please! next year instead." She encouraged me to pursue it because my coach and my dad going to accompany me.

On the day of my circumcision, i kept asking my dad.."how painful it is? Is it too painful?" But instead of listening to my dad, i listened to my close friend's advice who doesn't really experience it yet. I cried even there is no pain that i felt, maybe because of "Fear"!

At the moment, i'm having a delusion of lots of pain that i would die. The whole building heard that i shouted twice.."BATMAN!" (kidding!), actually not the word "batman", i just shouted with fear.

The circumcision is done! i realized that it's so easy and it doesn't do anything crazy, like I'm going to die. Fear persuading you not to trust God and even! not to listen to my dad (which God appointed him to be my great leader that i need to obey). God reminded me once again on what i have learned in Mega Sports Camp Day 4 "I Conquer the Day when i compete with courage." I have to face my fears with courage. I failed to conquer that day, but by the grace of God, I'm done with circumcision, it's another new level of maturity.

Me and my coach stack up our hands together, then we shouted.."All for HIM!" and throw hands up in the air.   😊 😉 😄

Graduation Song

Theme: To Lay a Strong Foundation
Inspired by Luke 6:48

We stand on solid ground
Though torrents rage, our home is sound

Through clear or cloudy skies
We have no fear, we shout our cry

Pre-chorus:
The time to move on has come
Still we carry our own sun
In dark of night
The Father's light
Our path will shine upon

Chorus:
On rock, we carve our Master's Will
The ground may shake, yet our faith stands still
For deep into the rock, we lay
The pillars of the Master's Way

"Though torrents rage
Steadfast, we stay"
This is the TMA way (2x)

The TMA Homeschool way.

By the grace of God we pray.

Last Day Of My Playgroup

Before we begin, we introduce ourselves

We pray together

We practice and improve our motor skills

We have fun playing ball

We also have fun in science experiment

We prepare our own healthy snack and eat together

We do have conversation

That's why we really missed the playgroup days...
