Glad I found my way back to the blog. I was feeling so lost without it. No doubt I still carry on with my daily walk with God through journaling, but it is just different from sharing my innermost thoughts with all of you and receiving your encouragements. Praise be to God that technology is so advanced these days and electronic appliances are so cheap in Singapore. I actually got my new Acer AspireOne notebook brand new for S$599,$200 cheaper than market rate for this is my birthday month. Back to civilization!!! Back to listening to songs and blogging at the same time!!! Such is the joy of technology!
For those of you who have been worried about me and my condition, well, I'm not exactly at top form. I have to skip my meds on Fridays and Saturdays so I don't turn zombie the next day and can spend time wityh the family. However this results in instability in my emotions. Just thois afternoon, I went on a manic episode and spent a fortune at Compass Point within a short span of half an hour. How I managed it is beyond my comprehension.
Haven't been exactly a bed of roses either where tuition is concerned. With my emotions roller coastering, obviously I'm not in a top form to teach. Well, fortunately I do have a passion to teach, so I don't shortchange the kids or their parengts. But right after classes I need so many tranquilizers to calm myself down that I fear my nervous system is going to break down soon.
I now have a part time helper as some of you know. A China woman who has settled down in Singapore with her family, she comes once every fortnight to clean the house. It has really taken a great load off my shoulders, for I can't give household chores one of my top priorities. And to make things better, I teach her 4-year-old daughter English while she works for me free of charge. God is such a great God, He knows my exact struggles and provides befitting solutions for them. Amen!
It was a great experience housing brothers and sisters overseas during the SEA Conference. I never believed it until now, but serving really brings a huge learning process to us. It was a sheer pleasure to be able to host a family of 4 and another couple without kids, and just like ZQ said, it was such a disappointment when at the last minute 2 single brothers were sent to Darren and Esther Kwok's place instead. Crammed as it may be, it was a great experience and we enjoyed great fellowship, the sisters, the brothers as well as the kids. I'm already looking forward to the next SEA Conference when I can host more people, perhaps from more challenging countries like Indonesia, Vietnam and Cambodia.
Looking forward to seeing you all tonight at midweek. Next week Adrian will be in KL on business, need your support to carry on, especially with SA1 so near around the corner.
Love,
Carol
