You see, it turns out that the education industry is quite hot there, and my oldest cousin there actually intend to open up a student care centre at one of the condo quite near to Seng Kang and Punggol area. Of course, more research needs to be done. My uncle also have desire to open up a tuition center at his house and actually asked me to help them.
However, seeing what has happened to my maternal side of 'helping' in a family business, I have reservation on this one. I'm not too keen about it since I've plans to enter NIE once I've passed my Project Management (still rather hopeful about it). However, this gathering isn't about how fast people around me move...More like how slow I am.
It could be complacency. I've come to the play-it-safe stage, and I'm still trying to hope that I'll pass after this fourth attempt and get on with life. I'm still trying to put confidence into my heart that God will allow me to pass even though I lose more confidence each day. I can't help but fear, but I refuse to let fear get the best of me. I choose to live life for each moment, ignoring the possibilities that could happen and worry about it; I've let God take control since I can't do anything at all but wait for my result.
Anyway, back to the gathering. My sleeping mode was awaken when my P6 cousin was trying to work on some math questions. That's when I realised I've slipped so badly. I've let my mind sleep and couldn't work well. I should be working on results so that when I go through the papers, I have some absolute answer in my hand. Oh well, that's just putting my confidence in shame at some point.
I'm glad God allowed me to be encouraged and revive my reason on why I decided on teaching. Of course, I need to be humble. I may be humble in front of God, but I must be humble before everyone too.
Imitating Christ’s Humility - Phillippians 2:1-11
2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death —
even death on a cross!

9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Jesus was humble when He was here: washing his disciples' feet; always in service like healing and teaching; always ask what He could do for others when they ran to Him for help. If my God can do it, I believe I can too. However, it takes time and eagerness to want to learn. I admit I lost that after teaching for 2 years. However, it's ok. I'm not good enough, but I'll get better in God. :)
