Back in the swing of things

It is always exciting to come back after a break and see familiar faces and settle into normal life. Even though I moved back to a new apartment (photos to come, I promise!) and a new position, I had feelings of relief when I returned to Lippo Village and SPH. I love my new apartment and the view I have of the school and the sunset. I also love the feeling of acomplishment when I return home from a good day at school.

Although I have had many good feelings since returning, I have also had some frustrations and confusing days trying to get re-settled in my new position. Today was one of those days. I was stressed out because I had given my students a task that was really difficult for them and some of them could not do it. This made me feel so bad and I was frustrated trying to figure out how I would fix the problem and get everyone back on track. Thankfully, my partner teacher was encouraging and helpful and things worked out just fine. I was also reminded later, that when we are weak and vulnerable, HE is strong. I could definitely tell that God provided me with peace when I needed it. Thank goodness and yay, for a fresh start tomorrow!
