🌷 Hope Has Come: A Devotional I Wrote for Tweens



There’s a different kind of glow that comes from writing something with love — not for profit, not for clicks, but because you know someone out there is quietly praying for a tool like this.


This is one of those stories.


A few weeks ago, during a bazaar my family and I joined, a Sunday School teacher walked over to my table. She asked if I had any Bible-based materials for kids. I handed her a copy of Bible Fun for Kids, and when she started flipping through the pages, her whole face lit up.



“Finally,” she said, “something different. Something new.”

She was so excited to bring fresh ideas to her class — activities that weren’t recycled, that didn’t feel like the same lesson every week.


And that’s when it hit me:

If teachers of young kids are having a hard time finding engaging materials, what about the ones teaching tweens — those in-between years where kids are not quite little, but not yet teens?

✨ 12 Sundays of Faith: Hope Has Come was born.


This tween devotional is simple, meaningful, and easy to use. It’s designed not just for Sunday School teachers but for homeschooling moms like me who want to bring faith into our children’s weekly rhythm — without burnout.


Here’s what’s inside:




A 12-week devotional journey, ideal for Advent season or anytime during the year.


A short, child-friendly Bible story retelling each week.


Reflection prompts that speak to what tweens are really going through.


Prayer-writing and journaling space.





An activity page (draw, create, explore!) and sticker time.


Optional add-ons for longer classes — like a memory verse game or promise chain.


No prep needed — open to page one and go!



It’s more than a book. It’s a lesson plan. It’s a quiet guide. It’s a gentle hand for tired teachers and moms who just want to help the next generation fall in love with Jesus.

🕊 Why I Wrote It


I was a Sunday School teacher assistant for several years before the pandemic.

My son has been in Sunday School since he was 2 years old, and I’ve observed many teaching styles over the years.


One thing that stood out to me:

By the time kids enter the tweens class, the lessons start to thin out.

Most of the time, the teacher just told a story and asked a few questions. That was it.


But our tweens deserve more.

They’re growing. They’re thinking deeply. They’re questioning the world, and themselves.


That’s why 12 Sundays of Faith isn’t just another devotional.

It invites tweens to reflect, express, and explore. It asks critical thinking questions, not just comprehension ones. It gives them space to write, draw, and pray — to connect with God in ways that make sense for who they’re becoming.


I wrote this as a homeschooling mom, Sunday School helper, and woman of faith.

I know what it’s like to juggle everything and still want to give your child something sacred.

I know what it’s like to feel like you’re not doing enough, not teaching enough, not being enough.

So I made something that would take the pressure off — and bring the glow back in.

But don't get me wrong. 12 Sundays of Faith isn't just for Sunday School teachers. It's also for homeschooling moms and any mom or dad who wants to incorporate faith lessons in their daily lives.

Soft Luxe Staycations: Binondo Series - The Great Buddha, Curated Purchases from Eng Bee Tin, and Last Thoughts About Ramada

After buying a lot of stuff on the first floor, we headed upstairs to eat a light lunch. Mom was getting hungry. My son and I just ate, but we said that we will accompany her and will just order something light. 

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
