As I was thinking how I actually live my life by season, I receive an email from a friend which talks about the 4 seasons in life.
It says,
" Like all creation, we too experience seasons in our life. Without exception, no one can live without going through personal winters.Winter always precedes spring and every living thing must pass through a winter to enter spring. This is a spiritual principle of life that applies to everyone and everything. "
We do different things, like different things, focus of different things in different seasons.Even the people in my life are "seasonal" too.
At this season, maybe you are very in touch with person A then next season person A goes and person B comes. Then the next season,person A comes back again.
As much as I dislike the coming and going of people in my life, it is inevitable. perhaps we also need different people at different season? sounds as though we are making use of the people in our lives, but well. you know what I mean.
But, those who actually stay with you througout all your seasons will be what i'll call true friends.So far, I only know God stays with me throughout everything and anything.
During my two and a half months of hols, I was living in the season of " Growth ".
Growth in my spiritual walk and as a person.
Spiritual walk with God.
During my hols, I feel God has time and again been "breaking my heart". Not that I feel He has hurt me or what, but he upsets me with people. I realised he did so as He wants to open up my eyes to see what actually wrecks my heart. And at last I understood. He is trying to show me what I actually care about. And the answer is "people".Be it their lives their smiles their thoughts their joy....
Personal growth
Thank God for giving me the opportunity to relief teach. It was truely an experience for me. I remember saying in the earlier entries that before school starts, i will post again to see if my thinking will be different. well.. as much as I like children and touching the lives of others, I don't think I can survive being a teacher. A tutor maybe but certainly not a school teacher. (:
And this was my reward...
the girls are really bright. seriously very intelligent girls.. you have no idea how smart a primary one girl can be.. you will be blown away! ask me and i will tell u the things they do and say man..(:
as i watch the primary school kids, all i see is "kim geks" in the making. haha
from a face in the crowd, to one the crowd faces <3
"The cross is the Lord's symbol that reminds us that Jesus experienced a personal winter, too.
When Jesus resurrected from His grave God was declaring, "Your winters are limited!" Your personal winter may be long and hard but it will come to an end. This is the message of the season. Jesus never interpreted His future glory by the dismal winter of His cross.
Neither should you."
this is one of my most accomplished holiday ever!
However, all seasons will pass...
school has started, hence, it's a new season for me.
I'm giving my best.
I need the strength, God.
