what a day... things never end...

Back from Sports Club. Had to run barefoot just now, coz I left my shoes in school (I hope!!! It better not be on the train!) Ouch! And the track was so old and sticky and rough… eew. Feeling better though…always do after some exercise. =)

Been sad n bothered, but moping never helps. So yeah, shall give thanks instead.

• I thank God for the little conversation with carista. I thank God that she’s hanging on and hasn’t gone filifala.
• I thank God for people like S, who follows God’s command to fear God and honour the king, who doesn’t seek to vindicate self or retaliate, but loves purely and lives responsibly. In a world of harshness, wanting in love and grace and beauty, a man of God shines beautifully. I pray he’ll have the strength to continue being Godly, resisting the ugliness of the fallen world, radiating God in response to everything thrown at him.
• I thank God for Sports Club, for the fun we have running, playing badminton, soccer and volleyball, and all the chatting in between. I thank God for the people give up their sleep and go week after week to book the courts at 3am.
• I thank God for the students I have. They are so lovable, even the naughtiest ones! (The lazy ones aren’t that cute though)
• I thank God for ppl at work who are human and concerned and real. People who would check if others are alright. People who make the world prettier.
• I thank God for munch.
  Me: “faj ivsgskg ogjk aosdjk …. (pouring out my woes)”.
  Munch: “Never mind… I … bring you go holiday.”
  Hehehehhe… =) such a feeble attempt, but so sweet still.
• I thank God for the way children sing. So cutely off-pitch, off rhythm, yet so earnest and loud.
• I thank God for faithful co-workers like John – who has NEVER asked to step down from ministry, not even for a few months to rest.

Anyway, today was my manic-Wednesday, but it was not that exhausting today coz the classes were having tests. So I had time to think.

Yeah, that’s when I started thinking about

• I want to remember every class I taught. Would be so sad if after many years, all the faces become a blur and I start to forget how special each one is. Will try to create my own archive.
• Another thing I thought about. There are so many styles of leadership around me. Different things I can learn from them, but Jesus is the best example of leadership.
• And, I remembered I told 3e5 that I am committed to them, come what may. Am I gonna honour it?
• And, I remembered that 3e4/4e4 the basil/ivan etc batch was such a lovely class. And they like all had the same few names.
• And, I remembered that the way to tell if a person is of God is whether or not he/ she exhibit the fruits of the spirit in increasing measure.
• And, I remembered 1AB (zul, jumadi batch) and how cute they looked when the entire class tilted their heads the same way to try to find the alternate angles. =)
• And I remembered that I always enjoy watching students engrossed in a test/ practice… but always have to pay the price after that when the marking comes in…
  
  Like now.
  
  Darn. 4 classes of test papers to mark. Plus 2 more coming in.
  Better get started.
