"Jesus said: You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you." (John 15:16)

TGIF!


I had a pretty bad time in one of my classes today. I did not plan for it to go this bad. In the end, the children were unhappy. I was unhappy as well. Reflecting on it make me feel even more bummed because I know very well that we could have gotten off a better start if I can stop taking everything so personally!

If a student did not behave in the way I want them to it does not really mean that they hate me or wanted to make me suffer. It is just the circumstances that they were in made it impossible for them to act otherwise. And, I am supposed to be here to give them a push so they can escape these circumstances.

Thank You Lord for being here with me all the time because despite my frustration, You reminded me over and over again my purpose of being in Juasseh and my purpose of standing in the classroom.

However the day got better (: I talked to Chia on the phone and am really happy that she came back from Medan, Indonesia feeling charged! And, guess what came in the mail today?

My books came in the mail today!

Now, all I want to so is spend the weekend curled up in bed with books and have Indie bands playing my favourite songs in the background!
