Teaching

...Teachers...

Teachers' Day is coming.
I lingered at popular to get a card for my teacher.
Yes. that makes a teacher getting a card for a teacher. =P

I'm so thankful for GOD's blessings of ppl He places in my life.
The people He uses to encourage me... =)
This is the person who spur me on and encourage me on and inspire me on today..
Ever since 8 years ago.. never failing LOVE, that's the impact of a teacher.
The teacher i desire to be too....

A teacher's love and care and influence never stops the day you graduate.
Nearly 8 years later, standing in BPPS once again.
Made a trip down to BPPS today to visit my primary school teacher.
Spent my whole afternoon revisiting the place, chatting and just reflecting.
Indeed once again i renewed that calling to teach.
A chat of reminder that teaching is not just passing academic knowledge and paper achievements. You're not just teaching a person, you're moulding someone's value and character. Once again the one and only struggle i had about joining teaching was dismissed with encouragement from my her. Realised how my heart was with BP too upon missing the place...

Teacher's are role models.
Just as i reflect how much she impacted my life, i realised that's how much an impact i could make on my student too. Teaching is never a short term thing where you see instant results or impact (unless u just look at paper results), teaching affects eternity and is a long term investment. I'm glad to say i'm a result of teacher's investment and i desire to be a teacher that invests in lifes too.

..prayer..

Couldnt stop getting stuck in this limbo...

Walking with GOD or defiant child.
GOD's way or stubborn ideas.
Seeing eternity or not being practical.
Faithful God's child or wierd child.

It depends of which perspective you're looking from.

Sometimes... just sometimes... i wonder... which role i am...
will there be a day where the decisions i make in life are right in your eyes?
will there be a day where we see in that same perspective... that heaven beyond earth..
i pray we do.

...vainity...

Vainity, Vainity.

I hate comparison, hate stereotypes, hate being different, hate having to please, hate superficial things, hate the things the world chases, hate the mindsets of the world, hate having to live up to the world's standard, hate trying to make ppl see that it's not all about superficial things but it's about the heart, it's about His will.

It's that hard to see things in HIS way?
Is it that hard to realise the world's standard is superficial?
Are we that blinded by treasures on earth?
Why is it when you seek GOD's way you feel so persecuted?

what exactly are we chasing after....
stop comparing with the world.

Vainity, everything, Vainity!

I hate it.

Aphorism

"We exclude because we dont understand....
We don't understand because of limited contact...
We lack contact because we exclude."

Took this off my Psychology text.. =) Was pretty amused at this statements. In the text it was mostly in context of disabled and special needs in our society. Taking it out of context, this "theory" applies to alot of other things...

Relate to people we have bad impression about and not wanting to "include" them
Relate to GOD who people not want to "include" in their life.
Relate to things that we exclude in our life.

We exclude because we just dont want to include something unknown (lack of understanding about the thing), a lack of understanding actually due to no or little opportunities interacting with the thing, but we must recognise that we lack contact because to start with, we just dont want to include because of the assumptions and belief we already have about the thing that we just dont want to reconstruct our thoughts to include the thing.

Dont know if it make sense to you..
but i think it made sense to me =)
