Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. (Ps. 46: 10-11)

As I looked back at my life, I can see God has been leading me to Him all the way. I was like a sheep, lost yet did not even know I was lost.  It was my Great Shepherd Jesus Christ who came to find me and save me.  Before I met Jesus, I did not know what is the purpose of life and I wondered what will my future be. So I just blindly followed the life of success as defined by this world. As instructed by my parents, whom were non-Christians then, I had to strive for excellence in my study which enabled me to SUCCESS in my future career.  After I met Jesus, I have a total definition of success in life. Knowing my life purpose is to glorify my Lord, and my life direction is to follow Him. I am trusting and obeying His guidance to live a life of SIGNIFICANCE in His kingdom.

Though we long for our beautiful Canadian summer, do you agree with me that summer vacation is sometimes also very tiring?  For some parents, we may long for the end of summer so we can send our children back to school, back to the routine.

Yes!  Yet under the current Ontario sex education curriculum and the latest federal legislation on marijuana use, many Christian parents may feel anxious about sending our children back to the public school system where they teach our children values different from our Christian beliefs -- such as same sex marriage, leisure use of marijuana, freedom of religion or irreligion.  So some Christian parents choose to place their children in a Christian school, a private school or home schooling.  Though these are possible options of guarding our children’s from exposing to these non-biblical teachings and influence, this is not the ultimate solution.
