Blessed and thankful day!

Because even though I didn't spoke a word to my students. I communicated and taught through writing and they understand :) and they would come to me and ask how are u miss Tan? :) I drew sad face and they sad sad face means not good, with a sad face on theirs. Am falling more in love with them :))

Because I managed to find the place and went to see my family doc Dr Tay, just in time before meeting em. And I only paid $8 because there's $10 off for people working under the government service :) and he gave me medicine to help me regain voice.

Because my ct is so understanding and gracefully took over my lessons and told me to just rest and don't have to hand in lesson plans to her! :)

Because my Nie sup is also very understanding because he agreed to postpone and observe me after the hols.

Because God is good and I only lost my voice after I cleared 1 observation and my focused grp discussion yesterday.

Because ntu co-op called and my laptop will finally be in this week. And I have an amazing Fren Emily who so graciously lent me her laptop to tide me through my last week of sch and past 3 weeks of practicum! Thank u soooo much my dear!! :) I promise to show the same grace and lend my laptop to someone who needs a laptop next time too, to the best of my ability!

Been frustrated and cried a few times past week cos of the hurting and voiceless throat. But God is good :) He turns everything ard for the good!! :) amen! Thank you my dear Abba father! :)

This is such a great test of my faith. To be pushed into a situation where u can't do anything at all, except to pray and cry out," God please help me!"

What am I to do to be down w throat infection? What am I to do to have lost my voice :( I can't speak not to mention to teach. I feel so lousy and so bad to my ct cos i have to ask her to take my lessons. And am scared she might have such bad impression of me :(

I hardly fall sick, and for Zicheng and I to both fall so very sick during practicum, I know it's no coincidence. You know what devil, you can't defeat us. Teaching is our calling and we are more fully convinced than ever that God has a place for us in the education industry, to impact lives and nations.

Jesus you lead us and guide us, and bring us to a rock that is higher than ourselves and what we can take! We will pass our practicum with flying colors cos God you are with us. And if you are with us and for us, nothing can harm us or come against us. Amen amen!

Our fight is always a fight of FAITH.
For FAITH without works is dead.
For FAITH makes all things possible, and love makes all things easy.
For without FAITH it is impossible to please God.
We walk by FAITH and not by sight.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts
Nor are your ways my ways.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

So shall My word be that goes forth from my mouth,
It shall not return to Me void.
But it shall accomplish what I please.
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

And ALL things shall work together for the good for those who loves the Lord,
who are the called according to His purpose.

For we do not have a high priest who cannot empathise with our weaknesses,
But is in all ways tempted as we are, yet without sins.

For I know the plans that I think of you, says the Lord.
Plans of good and not of evil. To give you a hope and a future.

Do not be afraid, just believe.

For with God, ALL things are possible.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love and power and of sound mind.

If God is for us, who can be against us? What can man do to me?

Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid nor be dismayed. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Do not let procrastination come into my heart. But just plunge and take the step of faith. We never know how God works. We never know what there is to come. But God has already gone before me to prepare the way. He is good and righteous and glorious God. He will never, He will never, He will never let me go. God is sovereign. I can trust in Him. I can trust in His unfailing love, His everlasting arms. What the Lord has done, nothing can ever stop the will of God. I only have one life to live, I want to live it all for you Jesus! You have prepared the way before me. You have prepared the heart. Please come and give me the strength and the glory. For your grace is sufficient for me, your strength is made perfect in my weakness. I love you Jesus... Your kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heavens. Amen Amen Amen.
