phew!

This week is finally over.
Relieved.
Huge relief.

The party was something I was really excited for, but besides that and my serving opportunities.. I didn't quite like the other deadlines and events. After coming back from church today was such a relief. Tiredness immediately set in and joy too of course.. but these mixed feelings resulted in not being able to take a nap. Which is a cause of concern, because this doesn't happen to me.

Another thing that got me thinking a lot was how we befriended our new friend today. Reflecting but I've got no absolute answer yet.. how could we have better "transited him"? Was the numerous background liasing effective? Was he truly welcomed? hmm..

The work of the week is not over, too. Why? The vetting of the chinese teachers' work is really taking a toil on me. I have my deadlines to meet for English. And, I also have to meet that same deadline for vetting the 3 tchs' work. The thing is, they need lots of pushing and their work is not easily to vet because there's lots of room for improvement... I'm so limited. I wanna let God's plan prevail but it's so hard. Breathless. Not figuratively.

Upcoming family trip... I'm looking for a breather more than anything. But the other hard truth is also the implications to consider as I go on leave.. and the planning and bookings involved...

Lamentations 3:21-24 NIV
Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord ’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
