caught up in grace like an avalanche!




My husband and I are being caught up in blessings and grace like an avalanche! God is so good to my children that He is the One who is worthy to be recognized and praised!

We are incredibly blessed and happy as our son Andrew was recognized with eight awards on his 7th Grade graduation ceremony and was awarded the Top All-Round Student of Class 2010-2011. Top All-Round Student award is given to a student who worked hard and met all the subjects exceeding expectations and with outstanding performances both academic, social and extra curricular activities. It was such a great honour to receive it....

Before the award was given, the teacher gave this brief introduction........"This student is such a blessing to me and Mr. Edwardson. This has been a phenomenal year for him and for us. He has an outstanding performance on all subjects throughout the school terms, receiving straight A's on all his subjects... His maturity, humour, intelligence and natural leadesrship make Andrew an outstanding student. Rarely do we have the privilege of teaching a student of his calibre and it is definitely what makes teaching worthwhile. He will leave Grade 7 with our best wishes and we look forward to hearing his accomplishments throughout the years. We hope you will always strive to do your best and challenge yourself to push for your personal best. The Top All-Round student for 2010-2011 is awarded to ......Andrew Memije!" when andrew's name was called, noel and i was so surprised and teary-eyed that noel missed taking video while i missed taking good pictures...:)

God is so awesome, gracious and good all the time. He never ceases to amaze and bless my family with great things - especially my children. All the praises and honor goes back to Him. To my son Andrew --- your exuberant thirst for learning and success both inspire us to thrive for better .......thank you for the joy you gave me and your dad today, a gift that is both pleasing and rewarding. I pray that you will make a difference and that you will use your God-given talents and gifts to be a blessing to other people......son, you rock, I am so proud of you and we love you!!!

I am happy for my son because not only he loves to learn and values the importance of education, but he also learned to love and care even more about his peers, elders, mentors, friends and family…

Thank you God +
