It’s been a long day.....



It’s been a really long time. I said I would try to keep this weekly, but it’s been almost two months. I apologise if you’ve been waiting for my weekly blog. Hopefully now since I’ve finished all my major assignments, I can get back on track with my blog. The reason why I’ve been away from blogging is that I’ve been really busy. I’m a really bad multitasker, however I have a excuse. So as I mentioned earlier I’m in my last semester of teaching and pretty much the whole two months I’ve been at prac. This led me to focus all my time and effort on my teaching and assignments. However, because of this I haven’t really been communicating with friends nor had the quite times with God, which in result I’ve kinda been in a rough place. But now, since I’ve finished and hopefully passed everything- I can go back to doing the things I was doing before.

Through this experience, I believe that God reveals himself in many ways and reflecting now, in times of busyiness, really showed my attitude and how I lived without God. I guess through his grace, God had taught me the reality of what working life would be. I realised that doing life without God, makes your life really empty. When you don’t have God in your life, you grumble, you distance yourself with people, you just want to give up life. Thankful for my mum for reminding me the power of pray and praying all your anxiety to him- for our father will give you peace. Anyways  I’m hoping as I continue just the beginning of a new chapter, that I may continue to bind to God, sustaining my faith and fighting the good race.

If you’re a praying person- please pray that I may:
- Have God as my refuge and strength in times of stress and weakness
- Living to God’s will and purpose for me whether it will be full time work or ministry
- Have my personal quiet times
- Resist the evil one from temptation (sexual sin)

Boredom

You might be wondering why I have all of a sudden returned to writing on my blog and have shared it with pretty much all my 'Facebook friends'. Essentially I wanted to keep a record of all my notes from a number of events, church services, thoughts etc. And if you're like me, there’s a shelf full of sermon notes and pretty much all it's doing is collecting dust... so I thought keeping a diary with me would solve the problem! The diary started out well (because as you know I like to keep things organised and neat) but I sometimes still had to write things on my lap because at things like conference events I would forget to bring it... so that didn't work. Then in 2018 I had the thought to type up a post, at first not a blog but something I could type and keep on my computer. Thank you TECHNOLOGY! Something technology is good and useful for!! Anyways I wanted the 'blog' low-key because it was just a way I could store my notes & things I've felt

Is it weird to say that you like your job?

Is it weird to say that you like your job? This is my first year of full time work and even though it's been 6 months at the job, part of me inside says that I cannot wait to work tomorrow and yes.. tomorrow meaning Monday. However, the journey to where I am today wasn't all rainbows and sunshine. Currently, I'm a primary teacher teaching Year 4 up North-West of Sydney. No I didn't choose to be where I am, nor did I have a choice where I wanted to work. Yes it was a hard choice to make, but in my situation anything was something. Looking at where I am now, I can say that I'm blessed to have a stable income despite what's going on right now. I graduated around 2 years ago (2018) at WSU (Western Sydney University) and once I finished, it was a immense struggle to find work. I finished at an awkward time in July because the intake of teachers during the school holidays was impossible. In addition, I didn't have not much experience, only from two practic

Last Day in Japan! Final thoughts

Image
It’s my last night in Japan (sad emoji), part of me is excited to come back home though the other part wants to stay here. Coming back as you know I haven’t been writing daily and mainly it is because our last few days were literally packed- how packed you say? Let me say that we’ve walked around 16,000 steps maybe more each day.  While the other half wants me to stay here. Here are my thoughts about what has been happening and why there is a conviction to stay in Japan. I was involved and part of my university ministry about 9 years ago(can’t believe it’s almost 10 years since I started uni). I’ve always been interested in mission, just the idea to live and serve in another country always intrigued me. However, I never had the chance to go or see what is was like. I’ve been involved in many Christian events and conferences but never lived or experienced being a Christian in a foreign country. Now after 10 years I have had that chance and who knew it would be Japan.  I never really had
