I love to listen to oldies and that also include old christian songs as those were the songs that I sang when I was still a baby christian. Wei Siang has a collection of 3 CDs which he would play during his car ride. Last Friday night I so happened to want to listen to the song, 'As the deer'. We spent some time searching for the song but by the time we found the right CD, I couldn't listen to it as I was reaching home. Then before I alight, he ejected it and pass me the CD. Initially, I said it's alright but he insisted in lending me. I'm grateful for his kind act as the CD has lots of beautiful songs that I used to sing and love. I brought it to school and played it on Monday and today while I was doing work before school.

Yesterday night, Simon sent me the song 'Saviour King'. It was a song that I wanted as it ministers alot to me. It was a great gift as it's something that both of us have been asking each other for but we just simply don't have it. I do not know where did he get it from but I thank God for the song. I listened to it on my desktop early this morning before heading for school.

To me christian songs ministers to me alot. It brings peace and joy. That is why I often soak myself in christian music whenever i'm doing my work. This is a period where I love to draw close to him and be in His presence.

It's two weeks away from exam period. It's suppose to be a period of stress for pupils. Yet mine just seemed to be taking things lightly at this time. I had pet talks with them today and I was kind of disappointed with them.

Such time of the year is often the most stressful period for us teachers too. Had to make worksheets for them to do revisions. Then do tonnes of marking, depending on the amount of work we give them. It agitates me when they don't appreciate it and don't see the urgency to work hard. Plus, I had to prepare science revisionary worksheets for the Pri 5 EM3 and the remarks of my pupils which needs to be keyed in tomorrow. I dread writing comments and I always take ages to complete them. Also, I was feeling tired and I would just stare into thin air when I need to type the comments. I've commented on my pupils 3 times this year already and I simply ran out of ideas.

Yet today, I came home and pray that God would give me the wisdom to get them done in 2 hours. Usually, I would spend one whole day doing it as it's very draining. Today, I finished everything in 1.5 hours. To me it's really the grace and mercy of God. He multiplied my time and helped me to be focused in doing it. How wonderful He's to me!!

What more can I say?
I'm simply so loved by God and am tasting so much of His goodness.
Everything is worth it. :)
