2008 has started with a bang at the church countdown. Simply one of the best countdowns I have had. Then came the dreaded going back to school syndrome. However, all has been going not too bad so far. I am beginning to enjoy 2008 so far. True that there will be ups & downs but I really feel this year is one that I may enjoy more as compared to last year.
Even as I reflected on last year, there were many things that tested my walk with God. How hard it is to please Him in things that I have to do. In trying not to live up to the expectations of others but His & His alone. It is not to say that I simply do not care about other's expectations but it does not govern my life. There is liberty in God. In reading the letters that the youths in church wrote for me, I can say that some of the things that they mentioned about my life influencing them moved me to tears.
Yes, man do cry. Real man do cry. I do not subscribe to the fact that man who crys are weak. Man who realise when to cry are better equipped emotionally than man who do not. Fighting their own emotions tend to keep them from truly expressing how they feel and eventually, they numb their emotions.
In 2008, I am the form teacher of 2B for this year. Indeed, there are some characters that may be challenging but I can say that I like my class. I enjoy telling them some of my life stories. I do not know if they enjoy it as much though. I have never been able to tell so much of my life stories to any of my classes so far. I sincerely hope these stories will help them understand certain principles in life that I am trying to bring across. I am never a teacher who wants to mark students and thumb them down. I believe in discipline but I also adopt an approach of wanting them to understand my heart for them.
In volleyball CCA, the team has grown and I am satisfied with the number of students I am recieving. The teams are united and I am really happy that one student has indeed made positive changes. I pray that she will always know that life is not about always doing things that she likes. I really hope she feels that she is a part of the volleyball family. As for those who are new in volleyball, training is tough but there is one another. I hope they all stay united in adversity to 'fight' against the opposition.
In church, I am still who I am. A guy who wishes to help impact the lives of youths. Not just in church but in school as well.
In essence, this year has started on a good note. True that I may have many more things to do at work but it would not get me down. With greater years, comes greater responsibilities. I hope those who read my blog will continue to help me write meaningful chapters in my life & hopefully, I can write meaningful chapters in their lives...!

 | You will fall for the cutie. You like girls with a personality. She's got to have a nice smile and a sense of humor. Although she doesn't have to be a model, she has to be that girl-next-door. |
