Drop the Waterpot

I finally did it. When I reached home, I setup my laptop, turned it on and took out my compilation disc of all the games I have. I took a pair of scissors and pulled across the surface with the sharp edge. Gone. All gone. I finally decided to remove these burdens from my life. With that done, I now have the pieces of game files here and there. I will hunt them down and remove them from my life also. I don't want to spend time playing games anymore. It kept me in bondage for too long. I don't want to feed my mind with ungodly stuffs anymore. I want to throw away the waterpot. I don't want to water such ungodly behaviour. I want it gone from my life. I can't do it myself. I draw strength from God the Almighty One, Creator of heaven and earth. Through Him I can do all things.

Dear heavenly Father, hear my cry, this day, for holiness. Because You are holy, therefore I also shall be holy before You. Keep me checked all the days of my life. Keep me from temptations. Draw me close to You, into Your presence. Do not let Your presence depart from me. Let me be a vessel of honour unto You. That everything that I do, every single thing, You gave me strength to do. It is You, Lord, who are able. It is You, Lord, who can. Lead me and guide me this day, to walk in Your ways. Thank you for all Your blessings in my life. I commit and dedicate my life into Your hands. I trust in You to mould me and refine me into what You want me to be. In You I trust. I ask all these in the name of my Lord Jesus. Amen.

Forgiveness Matters

Friday was just another day, to me... But in fact, it wasn't. It was a day of great significant to many of the students. My mind was caught up with all the paper work and I missed the entire thing. As soon as it's lunch time, I went in to mark tests and had my lunch at the same time. At the time, the students were actually having a session to address the strive that was happening among them, which I knew nothing about. I came out to the class after realising that the senior students were mostly missing during lunch. That was when I realised I missed something. I came out when the last student share her piece of mind and apologised to her fellow students.

I can't believe I knew nothing about all that was happening among my students. All I ever thought about was getting all the paper work done. I didn't care enough any more than that. I really need to be more sensitive. Obvious;y I failed to understand the role as a teacher in Christian education. Now that I knew this, I will have to work even harder. Not by my strength, but by the grace and mercy of God. I need to continue to grow.
