Friday the 13th
Signed.
the appointment of teaching today.
Still remember two interesting ocassion separately related to this teaching career.
ONE sunday....
was at Nexus reception, happen to meet up with pastor Ben.
He saw and probably recognise me fromthe last time i talked with him...
so he asked...." so u are the teacher rite?"
erm...then i was still in ComfortDelGro working but i just applied for the teaching career...
so i went: " no, but i just applied for it..."
i still remember clearly his surprised look.
hee.
Second ocassion,
i was buying some souvenirs at Mount Zion just hrs before i flying off to thai camp.
at the counter, the sister asked ( quite abruptly): "sister, are u a teacher?"
this caught me by surprise. Probably because i was buying some pencils.
and of course, then nothing was confirmed, so i denied it.
I was told i would recd reply by abt two weeks from the interview.
So estd day is supposed to be on the 29th May.
the day i fly off.
i return home from the refreshing camp, found and heard nothing.
all was still and silent then.
but the letter came unexpectedly one day as i came back home.
Today, i went to MOE, Edutorium.
saw hundreds of them. both young and old. of different races too.
Teachers. Behind each teacher, i saw many more lives.
the lives of children.
i do hope we wont get too caught up with the teaching of subjects itself that we forgot the importance of nurturing the lives of children.
The story of each starfish remains......
Sat beside a lady.
took the opportunity to know more people.
Initiated a conversation with her.
Nancy. a primary Chinese teacher too.
Malaysian, who used to be teacher in Msia too.
one interesting statement she commented: " are you 2o or 21?"
ehm, i was surprised! =p
For some, looking young maybe a bonus.
yet, in me, its too young.....i would not like to look 20 plus when i am say, 30+ ??!
well, maybe i may change my mind when i reach 30+ again....hee.
read a verse today:
(NLT) Job 32: 7 " i( Elihu) thought: those who are older should speak, for wisdom comes with age. Surely it is God's spirit within people, the breath of the Almighty within them, that makes them intelligent...."
As we grow older, with much understanding and knowledge, with much experience in life, wisdom should follow. However, it is not a "sure thingy". It is the Spirit in us, that gives us the understanding and wisdom. It is not only the old who who are wise, not only the aged that understand what is right.
Lord, desire for Your spirit within me that i can have more wisdom....despite my young age. ( whether actual or outward appearance) :P
Settling down....
may Your Word of revelation comes.
Amen.
