.: Church starts on Monday! :.
It was once again a day of much inviligation for me in School. It seems like this week, just after the holidays, school has been so pack for me, with so many things and especially so when many teachers are either on MC or down for N level inviligation duty. Seriously speaking, I felt I have not been so packed in a week before in school since I started teaching and this week is really a real life experience for me to go through after what Pastor shared about Church starts on Monday and praying for Open doors each day with us being pastors of the school! Haha.. If you have not know, I tend to have slight monday blues when I report to school on monday and normally will find it hard to even picture how am I going to even pull through the week. Guess just tired. This is even so much more so as I start of this week, first day of school. Since my holiday was spent in Japan, not that it was not good, but to me it just did not seem enough, especially enough free afternoon time back in Singapore. Haha...However I remembered what Pastor shared just the day before at service, that Church starts on Monday. So I need to be excited and looking forward to it every monday. Just such a simple thing really did put a change in my whole week in school. It is amazing! Well the usual things I had to do still along this week, and actually more on top of it. Worst still. I have been sleeping late and getting up much earlier over this week due to my sister having her prelims and needed to be at sch earlier as well. I am phyically tired, mentally a bit drained, but spiritually I felt I have been so much more awake then before. I look to each new day as a day where God will open new doors for me, to give me more opportunities and also each day as Church. I believe the only motivation that I can say that sustained me through this hatic week is really God himself, and I am also amazed I still have the energy to go NUS for the run on tue. Seriously I was really reluctant to leave my house that day, after coming home to change, since I did not manage to invite any people down for open cell. However God just needed me to go, such that HE can use the simple run to teach me something else. I believe many are going through the most stressful, physically and mentally challenging times of you life thus far, but have we also been spritually tired already? Have we been Losing hope and trust in the Lord due to this? Even as I learnt to take hold of being Pastor of my school, God blessed me with encouragement form one of my fellow teacher who is also from FCBC and through his sharing, I can see how excited he was after hearing what Pastor shared on Sun. He is ready to be a pastor in this school! I also realised I really had more opportunities to talk to students this week as well as I could sense my eyes open even further to love the unloveable. I really enjoy my 1T1 class, they are so playful, but yet so loveable. Really an irony, but it has to be like this. How are we letting God put us through situations which we dont seem to like or even find it difficult to move along? Are we approaching it with tired bodies but renewed spirit? Let us come back once again to the very heart of who our Father is, what He can do and learn to place our hope and trust back onto Him! Am happy finally tomorrow is friday, but yet again even more thankful that God sustained me through this week, one with a constant joyful heart!
