The Preschool and Kindergarten Books, Songs, and Early Reading Games App

Because of the updated version, this app is better now at keeping a child's attention. I must say that this app either your iPad or iPhone into a fun and enjoyable learning center for your kids.

I love this app mainly because of the storyteller being so engaging. Plus the fantastic graphics will surely make the little kids stay much longer and will be willing to learn more.

I also love the fact that this app helps little kids and toddlers to develop early reading skills. They also encourage language development which will be really a good foundation for future.

Alphabet Tracing and Montessori App

As soon as I've finished downloading this app, my goddaughter who just turned two years old, grabbed already my iPad and started playing with it. Her initial reaction was smiling from ear to ear. I know that she's totally enjoying it mainly because of the graphics.

This app is really an educational boost. I love how Kids Academy combine fun and learning at the same time. This is definitely a must-have on my iPad.

Preschool Kindergarten Learning Kids Games

I also let my other niece try this app and even up to this moment, they still can't get enough of the delightful animations that are very interacting at their own pace.

What I also like about this app is the curriculum itself. It is developed and reviewed  by preschool education expert. Well, that really assures me that I will have no regrets in letting my nieces nephews try this app.

It's great for teaching her how to write her letters and numbers. It also teaches her letter sounds and matches pictures with sounds. The graphics are bright and colorful and is able to hold her attention for some time. The app has a variety of different games to choose from so they won't get bored with the same old activity.

As I was writing this post, I'm awake for 20 hours now. I was watching youtube videos when suddenly I felt something, I thought I was already hallucinating. Haha. But when I fired up Google to really confirm before I post any status on Facebook, I realized it was an earthquake.

A magnitude 6 earthquake hit Luzon before dawn with state seismologists warning of possible aftershocks as per the  Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs). 

Tectonic in origin, this quake struck  at a depth of 85 kilometers.

Phivolcs said the following intensities were felt:   

Intensity IV (moderately strong) - Pasig City; Pasay City; Manila City; Quezon City; Hagonoy,
Bulacan; Makati City; San Mateo, Rizal; Obando, Bulacan

Intensity III (weak) - Tagaytay City; San Miguel, Tarlac

Intensity II (slightly felt) - Baguio City; Batangas City

Phivolcs said Intensity IV is "felt generally by people indoors and by some people outdoors. Light sleepers are awakened. Vibration is felt like a passing of heavy truck. Hanging objects swing considerably.Dinner, plates, glasses, windows and doors rattle. Floors and walls of wood framed buildings creak. Standing motor cars may rock slightly. Liquids in containers are slightly disturbed. Water in containers oscillate strongly. Rumbling sound may sometimes be heard."

As per tweeter update from Phivolcs, quake will not cause damage but is expected to produce aftershocks.

My own experience is that some of my books dropped, my glass of water beside me was really shaking. I was really frightened a while ago so I woke up my partner (since I'm the only one awake). But since she's still sleepy head, I didn't tell her the story yet.

Stay safe, everyone. Now I really need to sleep. :)

Be careful what you do, and always do what is right (Proverbs 4:26, NCV).

Obedience puts us on solid ground.

God does not ask us for a season of obedience. He wants a lifestyle of obedience.

Will Rogers once said, “Live your life in such a way, that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.”

King Solomon said it this way in Proverbs 3:6-7: “Remember the Lord in all you do, and He will give you success. Don't depend on your own wisdom. Respect the LORD and refuse to do wrong.”

Obedience is remembering and choosing God in everything we do, choosing to walk in His steps, and following the path He has set for us.

Obedience calls us to live like citizens of a future world, guarding each step to make sure it matches the step of God. Not out of fear - but out of love. Not because man observes and keeps score, but because God sees you through eyes of love, and because we want to please Him.

Peter 1:14 (NLT) “Obey God because you are His children. Don't slip back into your old ways of doing evil; you didn't know any better then.”

We cannot come to Christ and keep responding to the world in the same way. When we truly encounter the living God, our behavior will change along with our perspective, our standards, our motives – everything.

Paul says that when we come to Christ, we become “a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17, NIV). This holy discipline sounds like an impossible and overwhelming command. It is – unless it is fueled by the power of God in and through us.          

God has already been where He wants us to go. All we have to do is look for Him, watch His steps and follow them – right across the finish line. Discipline your steps, making sure that they match His.

Let’s Pray.

Father, I want to obey You. Forgive me when I let fear keep me from walking in Your steps or when I listen for the voice of others instead of Yours. Give me a hunger and thirst for Your Word. Help me grow up in You and become a mature believer whose life illustrates a radical obedience to God.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

“After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” Matthew 2:9-11

More than any other season, it is Christmas that we are reminded of God’s sacrifice of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to save the world. Let us look forward to remembering Christ’s birth on Christmas Day. More than the gifts, the feasting, it is God sacrificing His only begotten Son to save the world that spells everything out about Christmas.

Thank you, Jesus, for taking our place!

Beyond the gift giving, the parties and the feasting, may we keep Christ in our Christmas and give Him the honor that He deserves.

A blessed Christmas to all! 

Supposedly, trying to conceive is to be a natural process that is easy, at least. That is what people would lead you to think. Yet, if you have been trying to conceive for many months or even years, you may realize that having children does not come easily for everyone. 

When it comes to getting pregnant, there are sometimes many different obstacles to overcome. Most women think that getting pregnant will just come naturally, but that is not always the case. There are many things that can affect fertility, including medical history, family history, your partner’s health, your age, environmental factors, your own health, and more. This is why it is always a good idea for both you and your partner to make it a point to visit your doctor before you being trying to conceive so that your doctor can help you pinpoint any potential issues that might arise, and you can know what to expect.
