me, the teacher

after coming back from the life altering decision and trip. I was left confused and wanted a jumpstart. But God said no.. it is not that easy. If I go my own way, I wouldn't understand what path He wanted me to take. I just took a shot at teaching because I remember when we were walking at Taipei streets one evening with just our dreams and love. I remember I said I wanted to teach, because at that time I had so much hopes for the children to have a good education. I wanted them to have that. Then God gave me the chance.. believe it or not.. via Facebook. I went on a trip, I didn't bring a cellphone. Who would know that this decision was to be made over a facebook message to me. I immediately said yes.

I thought it would all be easy and just unchallenging. But I was really challenged. There was a time that I would cry . Crying over the impulsive decision I made. What did I get myself into??? But eventually God showed me the way. He never left me alone, He always blessed me with people who miraculously helped along the way . He knows which person to use to guide me and with just simple advices melts my worries away. It burns my flame to keep going and never quit. Now it has been an end of a year of teaching. I never imagined how much joy the kids has brought me. I have a lot more to learn from the kids and them from me. Their love fuels me. So Im thankful enough everyday that God is good. By the middle of the school year I was telling everybody I will just give teaching a year.. and I will not sign up again. But I felt I am not yet done. I hope I can help more and do more . Could this be God's way to let me serve others? So I said Yes again. It will be another challenging year but I will always pray for it, pray for guidance, patience and chance to serve others.

Sometimes my goals becomes clear, sometimes blurry.. it usually changes . It depends on the situation I am in.

With the experience... I learned to be more patient, to be more resourceful.. I shouldn't be spoon fed, I should be sharing to others, not just a receiving end. I also met wonderful friends that I never thought I would have.. in fact I will visit Xiamen soon just to tour around.. that kind of good friends.

life is good :P
