Tonight after dinner I took the boys to Jacob's ROBI night at RISD Professional
Development Center. ROBI stands for Reaching Out for Bright Idea. It is a
creative program that help kids to learn creativity. ROBI teacher comes to
Jacob's class once a week to teach them to "think of bright ideas". Jacob
loves his ROBI teacher, and he thinks it's great. Tonight we got to talk to
the ROBI teacher, she says "Jacob is a very good student, follows directions
very well, listens to the teacher very well, and answers questions with
creativity". Indeed I was very proud to hear such things from the ROBI
teacher. What happens is that early next semester we as parents can
nominate our child and between the parents and tearchers we will both
fill out questionares and Jacob will take 4 tests, and between these 6
criterias, Jacob will need to pass 4 in order to be enrolled in the REACH
program(for gifted and talented children). For REACH program, kids will
be called out of the class 1 hour a week to receive enrichment learning.
I am sure every parent wants their child to enroll in REACH and every
mom and dad thinks their child to be gifted and talented.
I don't know what to think of Jacob. Of course I know he is a child with
a lot of potentials, but I don't want to pressure him with having to be
gifted and talented in order to succeed in life. I want my boy to grow up
to be happy and healthy, and most importantly, to learn to love God and
God's people. I admit in my heart I hope Jacob always receive the best
opportunities there can be, but I know everything is already planned by
the Lord for him and I just need to learn to trust God.
This morning when we were in the sisters' meeting we read about a woman
Hannah in the old testament. She was married for a long time without
bearing any child. Her husband also had another wife and that wife always
teased her and gave her a difficult time because she was fruitless.
She prayed to God and asked God to give her a child, and that she
trusted in God and God was really in her sufferings. When God answered
her prayer by giving her a baby boy, she took the son Samual back to the
temple after he weaned to offer Samual back to God. She said, " Jehovah
gave me my son, and now I will give Him back my son". What a trust and
worship she gave God. She honored God by giving what God gave her back
to God. Wow. What kind of mother is this. I know if I receive something
prescious from God I probably won't be giving it back to God so easily. I
would want to keep the treasure for myself. But we need to learn to
consecrate my children to God, because they ARE God's property and
we are just temporarily watch these treasure for God until they are
mature and God can use them for His economy. Oh Lord Jesus, I give my
2 sons to you. Thank you you give me this opportunity to care for your
sheep. Teach me to shepherd them properly with your wisdom. Amen.
May they grow up to be pillars in your temple!!
