Things has not been easy here. Hearing from another trainee who has been here for a while prior to us is not really helpful as we got to know the negatives and a lot of things to watch out for especially the principal. Said there will be spies and all that looking out at what we do, how we behave and all that and suddenly it feels really restricting. But I would have to summarize it and take the positive - as a reminder to behave well, watch my tongue and do the best I can. People can be particular about certain things and may not agree with everything so I believe the heart, being passionately teaching with the utmost noble intention would somehow shine through, even more with God on my side! So I'll have to commit to God, seek Him for strategies, carry out the strategies given and trust God.
One thing I noticed about Melaka is how laid back the men are. First encounter is the owner of the freaky hotel I stayed in at Jonker Walk. Second is the owner of the Chinese medicine shop. Third was that food shop owner we bought food for lunch my friend who was with me encountered. It made me wonder if it is a common thing in Melaka. It also made me wonder if this is the reason why the students are hard to motivate, doing things very slowly. We'll see what happens later. Seeking strategies and insights.
So I am fighting discouragement. In the evening while I was uber tired both physically and mentally, my heart turned to God and this line from this old hymn faintly started appearing in my mind and I just start singing it and slowly I continued into the verses with the words HS gave me and it just started bringing refreshing into my spirit and I started feeling more uplifted. I suddenly cannot remember the hymn now but I remember the line that I started receiving from. It points me to commit all to the Lord in prayer.
Suddenly now, opening FB, it directly opens up to this picture with big words : JUST TRUST ME - GOD.
Coincidence? Nope! PM from above!
*hugs papa!*
