i love my cool kiddies
To be honest... I've been pondering for these few days whether I should move on or not for the year 2009 and get ready to look for another job. Let me get some things straight, not that I'm not happy with teaching at GRC or I'm not satisfied with my job or anything. But I've been asking God whether I need to move to a different phase of my life.
And as I go through my memories, the lessons learnt and things I've taken upon myself to do for the past two years plus (this is my third year still working at GRC), I realise God still has something more for me at GRC. I actually have no idea what are those things He has in store for me but I know they'll be good =)
Since 2006, it's been a challenge to adjust myself to such a working environment. I've never handled so many children before, let alone help out in the music part of the school's chapel, our beloved Youth Rally 2007, worship retreats, Broga Camp and the unforgettable night of the supernatural blackout and ministering... the list goes on.
I've never seen my faith, and belief in God tested so much before in any work place before GRC. One of my main frustrations for 2007 was whether I should continue to be so all out for my work because somehow, I spent more time working on the kids than my ministry in church. Evangelism is at my heart during college intakes in my area but somehow, God has shown me another passion that only yesterday I remember that I prayed years ago...
...youth.
I remember asking God for open doors to guide and minister to youth. I never knew God had answered that prayer until I started talking about it in cell group this week Wednesday night. To be honest, I really don't know what it takes to help youth, but out of God's mercy and grace, He shows me and guides me during times when I am totally clueless on how to go about things in school.
So yes, Mr. Fan... I won't be going so soon for 2009. In fact, I have a feeling that for 2010 I'll be around as well, but that is not to certain yet. But at least, I'm gonna be around for 2009 to see my kiddies graduate and move on to college and to watch the other kiddies grow up to be even more mature and responsible =)
I mean... how could I leave when I have...

Warm smiles that greet me in the morning
Cool Kiddies who aren't afraid to be themselves and be cool about it
People who can be cute, responsible,
endearing and mature at the same time
Who don't mind being lame for their teacher
To my kids, you know who you are =) let's live our days to the best, to our maximum greatest for God! Let's conquer those mountains together and see more awesome things happen among us!
Love you =)
p.s. I learnt from my kids how to listen, teach and live my life as a teacher. Without them, I wouldn't be able to learn so much on my own. Thank you, kiddoes =)
