i am encouraged....

by two of my gals. particularly encouraged because they were from my 'very challenging' class last year. the class tt seriously took up so much energy from me. the class notoriously known by teachers not teaching them. tis year, some of the gals started saying 'i miss you' or 'why are you not teaching us this year'. Some out of plain mischief (i'm sure), some sincerely (i'm sure too) [tho i still qns myself if i've done them any good teaching them english given i'm not trained to do it]. in any case, its been nice seeing them for music only so far. however, today God blessed me with a pleasant surprise to show me that, hey, He's at work.

During the last period I had for the day, these two gals after finishing music lesson came and tell me that they were interested in playing the guitar for morn devotion. See, I just challenged my guitar club gals yest to serve God and the sch in tis manner yest (urm, half thinking, they prob wldn't volunteer, i hv to noe them better and encourage 'forcefully'. Little did i expect them to step up... and from THAT class. These two gals have been nice all this while. But still, to expect gals from THAT class.... *smile* i pushed them further. when i knew they cld play other instruments, i challenged them to work on these instruments to play for chapel. they were apprehensive. so told them i'll train them tis year, next year den play, and they agreed!!! i was just like "oh my God, seriously..." it puts a smile on my face....

other than that.. the week has been work work work. Work is starting to pile up. Half the time i wonder if i can cope, or whether i'll screw up (yeah still tink tis way as and when). but like i say.. i tink too mych.. worry too much over things i can control THAT much...

so... just learning to appreciate the little things in life.. and to take things easie.r.. :) God is good. (its been a long time since i've said tis. i'm still using a lot of 'mind' and less 'heart' to say this... but more 'heart' than previously, bong)

Oh yeah, and i finally 'exercised' yest. How? By walking 1.5 hrs back home from sch. I'm not crazy. That's ME! mua ha ha...
