path

Last week,I was asked by the ladies of my Sunday school class if I could be their head teacher. It was a tough choice to make considering the fact that the ladies are quite older than I am. As I prayed, I look at my lack of experience in life and all but the Lord made me realize that I am not going to teach my thoughts but His Word and that He will give me the the words to speak. I realized that it is one way I can actually study the Bible more extensively and expositorily and just bask in the beauty and wisdom of God's Word. As much as I love being an occupational therapist, my heart has been steered in the direction of teaching the Bible. I would love to teach OT someday though, Lord willing so that is why I want to further myself in the OT field, then eventually be an elementary teacher in my alma mater where I would get the chance to mold minds in the knowledge of the Lord.

Bloom Where You Are Planted

It's been a while since my last entry... I have recently just gone through lots of turmoils at work being the sole evaluating therapist in my discipline and having to go to three facilities. I had been griping, which I couldn't really help. I'd been so stressed out having to race against time, trying to finish and accomplish everything which utterly had been a futile attempt. But then a realization hit me... I've been focusing on me instead of God. I realized that the pressures of my work are far too much for one person to do since it originally was done by three people. Pride, probably. If I can't finish things on time, it's mainly because there is a lack of manpower. I should just do what I can do to the best of my abilities, doing everything as to the Lord, and not unto men (as the apostle Paul puts it in Colossians 3:23.) I have been reminding myself to "...do all things without murmuring and disputing... (Philippians 2:14)." I pray for joy and peace as I do my duties/responsibilities willingly and whole-heartedly that I may please my God. May the Lord allow me to bloom where He has planted me.
