Back after more than a year!
*Blows away dust* It's been more than a year since I last blogged! Work has been overwhelming but thank God I am coping better now. Just missed blogging all of a sudden. =) I am not surprised if many people think that this blog has long disappeared. ;p
Well, just to update a bit on my life here. In a nutshell, teaching has been good despite the many challenges. Basically, I do a juggling act everyday. Sometimes, I picture myself as an octopus. Multi-tasking is definitely needed in this job. Teachers, agree? To me, the core of my job is teaching and learning. It always encourages me to see the twinkle in a child's eye, and an appreciative smile when a kind word is spoken to a child. There were times when I failed, but everyday is a day to be a better role model for my students, and to impart the right values. As a Christian teacher, I do pray that I may be able to discipline my students wisely and at the same time, to be the salt and light for God, attracting them to the good news which has transformed me.
With regards to preps for marriage, there are hurdles we have to cross, both now and in the future. Thank God we have His Word that point us to the reality, and to comfort us when we are down.
In terms of ministry, thank God that the youths are growing in their maturity as Christians, and taking more initiative. Pray that I will watch the way I live, and lead a life that the younger ones can imitate.
