Paper 5 and 3
So fast, paper 5 and 3 for Science are over. I did enjoy spending time helping and coaching those who came. I felt I was doing what a teacher should. Thank God there wasn't much admin meeting etc, so that I could devote my time for those who would benefit from those coaching session.
I gave some of them the a personalised card, hoping to encourage them.
I pray all of them will do well so that they will be able to go polytechnics or JC.

Buy books and uniform
Rushed down to Fairfield Methodist Primary today to purchse books and uniform. Can't believe my boy is finally going to primary school!
He was excited about it. Brought him to have a look at the school too.
And we also prayed with him there, asking for Form teachers, teachers and friends who will love him. He is going to be in class 1B and house is Eveland.
He prayed too, asking that his classmates will not use the phrase "don't friend you". Seem like that is a key stress for him, and probably for many primary schoolers. Stress is so real, even for him, he has his worries. Sigh....
Lord, help my boy to be strong in the face of challenges and stress. Amen

Message for me on my birthday
Wow.. I am 40 years old. Kinda hard to accept. Wish to slow it down. It is never fun. It was fun when you reach 21. The rights and freedom. But at 40, it means slowing down, thinning of hair, forehead getting higher and then the every increasing waistline!!
Sunday message was a timely reminder to me. Afterall, Moses wisely reminded all of us 'So teach us to number our days, that we may apply hearts unto wisdom' Psalm 90:12. My days are limited. My workings years are probably anoth 20 to 27 years? My children are growing older and one day, they will leave the nest.
Sunday's message by pastor was 'Follow Me'. The Call issued by Christ. A high calling that is the Most Important Live changing call. It takes careful consideration and complete commitment. As I sat there listening, I kept asking God, what do I need to give up in order to response to the Call? What do I need to take up when I heed the call?
The pastor talked responding the call to full time ministry. The video of someone in his 40s shared how he found heard God's calling to ministry stirred my heart.
Mosese switched career at the turn of each 40 years. At 40, he left prince-hood to be shepherd and at 80, he stopped leading sheeps and started leading people, rather a nation.
Me? It no longer a secret, I will resume my Vice-Principalship on 17 Dec this year. I like to see myself a shepherd too. No longer just leading students but teachers too. To where? To where they are called to - their potential. I am not sure how the Lord will lead me next. Which school will I be? I know just like me past postings, it will be where He has prepared. It will be where He wants me to be a blessing. I pray I will not fail His calling and plan.
Getting National Day Commendation Award was something I did not expect. God affirmed me. I need to depend on Him to serve His calling.
I am thankful for His leading.
Lord, I submit myself to your Lordship. Amen.

Birthday - reminiscing moments
Celebrated my son's b'dae, then celebrate my own and daughter's together since we share the same day.
It is always nice to celebrate children's birthday. You start recalling about that day when they arrived. The joy and excitement of waiting for them, not that few hours, but the 30 plus weeks of waiting and wondering how they look like. Even as I am writing this blog, I could not help but smile. The excitement of waiting and then seeing the hairs and then the head!! Then the crying, the waving of hands and legs, in the labour ward and in the nursery. The peaceful look when they were sleeping after the cleaning and under the warmth of nursery and mother's arms. The first carry!! Those were moments of miracle. I will not want to exchange those moments with any amount of money.
Joy feels my heart as I reminisce those moments.
Lord, thank you. :-) Amen.
