My day ended with peace yesterday. My new Thai student begins to listen in class. We have come onto a stage one of personal level and I'm thankful for that. I'm praying that she can acknowledge that I'm there to help her get better grades. I don't care how much better is better, just as long as there's improvement I'll be praising.
Of course, when they slip, I don't scold. I'll ask why. There's a transition period whereby these students will do extremely well this exam, and the next they'll slip. Then when they try harder and either they'll slip or improve; that's all entirely on her confidence and determination to do better.
My year end "performance" isn't that good. Four students slipped, one got "upgraded" to a better class, one improved but still below average, and three more without exam results yet (1 AEIS and 2 PSLE). By then, I'll not be in sg. I'll just have to be prayerful about it.
I also have no idea when my results will be out. I'm scared neh! I just want to graduate since it's last compulsory module. There's so many things to pray about.
About the mission trip, the fear starts to creep in too. It seems like I have many to fear for: able to be a good disciplier for three nights; the terrain and unexpected situation that may occur; the ability to take Thai food (they love sour things); the staying of 10days (longest trip so far); first time travelling with friends and many more.
Thankfully everything is pacing with God's assurance in mission and ss camp. Although we're worrying about the workshop and stuff, I thank God that everything looks ok and assuring. I don't know what else I need to do. Either way, I leave it to God in prayer.
