Weekly Reflections
Reflections - 6th Mar - 10 Mar
This week has been busy for me in school as its the last week of term 01. Managed to finish and complete the syallabus for term 1 and on the whole; was quite satisfied with my students' progress. Gave them a test 2 weeks ago and overall, term 01 has been fruitful. On the emotional front, i felt that i could have managed my anger and emotions better; 2 days ago i literally shouted at one class for 1/2 hour because 4 boys mischeviously tagged lewd remarks on the class website tagboard. I admit i am hurt because not only they are using my name to post these remarks, they are also using their classmates' names as well.
However, in the midst of lecturing them, i lost control of myself; my feelings and thus my emotions. Of course its easy to blame them and say its their fault to irritate me first but still i feel; yes I could have done more to manage the situation better. :) I guess the whole class was quite shocked and taken aback by my shouting because since 2005 the Mr Glenn they know is a nice, approachable person whom will never raise his voice in class.
I guess the 1/2 hour of ranting pretty much undone many concepts in their young minds.
I will rebuild the foundations for this class again in term 02.
Spirtually, I've been fighting and struggling at times. I got to admit it because i know if i don't, eventually i will leave and no one will know what happen to me. So, the main reason is because i feel very lonely at times. Yes, my friends have been awesome; going out with me; putting up with my occassional mood swings; talking nicely to me even though at times they have reached the end of their physical/natural patience, they kindly extended into their spiritual well for more patience!
Thanks so much to you! Esp Kei, Justin and Zhi.
If you know me well, i tend to dwell on certain issues of my life for quite a long time before moving on. There's no need for me to go into details here, so we will just leave it as loneliness. After thinking it through last night, i need to constantly guard my heart; the thoughts that passes through and into it because sometimes the longest race you need to run is from ur mind to ur heart. In other words, putting your thoughts and decisions to action.
Right now, i need to focus on developing 1) my character 2) spirit man 3) career 4) relationships that i've with my friends.
God says "Blessed are those who wait upon the Lord". Standing right here on His promise, I believe that when I am ready in due season, He will bless me with a lovable, pretty and capable wife; my true soul mate. Just want to be frank and straight-forward here because there is nothing to hide nor conceal.
To God, there is no thing called time. He lives in eternity.
