Stress…. | TCKID 2.0

Stress….

People say that when you’re homeschooled it’s easy. You can study in your pajamas and you can wake up whenever you like. It’s actually kind of the opposite. My mom makes my schedule and I have to wake up at a certain time everyday. I’m sure some of you can relate to this. Last week I was sick when I had exams that day. I got through, thank God! That same night, I was reading my Bible before I went to sleep. I remebered the verse Phillipians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me.” I thanked God that He was with me always and I, Jirah, can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

    I've been homeschooled since I was in pre-school. I went to private school when I was in 4th grade, but besides that experience, I've been homeschooled pretty much my whole life! I also learned how to read and write at home.

    Jirah, thank you for the post. The verse warmed my heart.
    How long have you been home-schooling if you don't mind me asking?

    P.S. Stop lecturing me

    I say they are "evil" bc u haven't seen how they cold-bloodly attacked me that day (in fact) many days....

    I was so all alone, and none of them give up any chance to hurt me more. I felt like as if I couldn't breath. They were like monsters.... and kept on going after my mind went blank and could do nothing but cry...

    I'm going to stop now.

    If ur going to judge me in anyway, pleaz don't reply my posts!!!

    To every Christian TCK here:

    Please pray for me.

    I've been to so many churches and cell groups here. And believe this or not, they ALL tell me: "Stop believing in TCK, statistics, secular books... and all that crap!" (Yes, they call "TCKness" "crap". Believe it or not... Christians, all the ones I've met so far in my country, Taiwan... are like this. For them "TCK" simply SOUND "evil" to them. CULT, CULT, CULT!!! In fact, "THEY" are "EVIL"....)

    They tell me: "You cannot 'find out who u r' by reading a book like 'Third-Culture Kid'!! You have to read the Bible to 'find out who u r' !!!"

    I told them the two things have nothing to do with each other. They don't contradict at all!

    And then they start attacking and attacking me verbally and emotionally that day that I cried in front of them... Feeling so helpless... and then run out of that **c*ing Church....

    I know God isn't the one who's punishing me for being a TCK
    But those Christian sure are "evil"
    And I can't go to a church of "those ppl"

    But I can't imagine not going to any Church for the rest of my time here in Taiwan... since I'm now planning to stay here for six yrs more at least.........

    So, please pray for me
    Hope I can find a church where ppl have no problem with me being a TCK!!!

    I'm so glad that there's plenty of TCK christians here and out there....

    The TCK community actually has a higher ratio of Christians than non-TCK community (at least here in my country, Taiwan)

    And SO MANY biblical characters are TCKs, EVEN JESUS HIMSELF!

    Only that at THAT TIME, the term "TCK" is not yet invented!

    But! SCREW those monolocaltwchristians here in my country!

    They all think "TCK" is a CULT!!! Believe it or not!

    And they shut me up, debate with me, and even violently abusive me verbally that now..........

    I'm not affiliated to ANY Church now here....

    After I recover from how deeply they've hurt me and scared me....

    I will go to a Spanish Speaking Church, and hope they don't see TCK as a cult.

    If they don't behave well and treat me right as a TCK either, I return home

    I don't wanna go to Church anymore in this "closed country"....
