DS's Medal from the AHS Chess Org. Tournament

Another great blessing for our DS...  

Chess helps you to concentrate, improve your logic.
It teaches you to play by the rules and take responsibility for your actions,
how to problem solve in an uncertain environment.

in whom we have redemption,

the forgiveness of sins.

DS's Honorable Mention Piano Award

Happy and grateful that our DS received the Honorable Mention Award in the Final Round of the 2015 Etude Piano Competition by The Piano Teachers' Guild of the Philippines! Considering that he is a first-time competitor, and the other kids who won in his age category are seasoned pianists and scholars in the Philippine High School for the Arts. We thank God, Mother Mary, and all his Saints in heaven for granting our prayers.  :)  

You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. 
And if you treat them like sons,

they'll turn out to be heroes,
even if it's just in your own eyes.

Chinese Proverb

 

He Will Fight for You

Facing a battle?
Don’t try to --
Figure your way through,
Reason your way through,
Guess your way through,...
Feel your way through,
Push your way through,
Manipulate your way through;
Fake your way through.

What should you do?
Trust your way through!

 

 

The Lord Himself will fight for you.

Just stay calm.

Exodus 14:14
