I just came back from a long holiday and was given the 2016 timetable. I was given 5 classes of English, 1 Year One Physical Education (PE), 1 Year Two Physical Education, 1 Year Two Visual Art and 1 Year One Music.
Headache No.1:
PE is a new subject for me so I need to search for the yearly scheme of work and then typing out the lesson plans. I need to search from outside the school as I need the set in Malay language.
Headache No.2:
Music is also a new subject for me to teach in the school. Not only that, it is also run in mandarin, a language I am not fluent of. Teaching it also requires me to find the yearly scheme of work and daily lesson plans all by myself as I need the sets in Malay language and all my other colleagues are using the ones in mandarin.
I really felt stressed out. So I was in my insomnia stage that night. I felt overwhelmed. I told God about it. If I am not mistaken, I think I asked Him for help without specifying what God should do. I really believed that I can go through it with God'd mercy and grace.
So the next morning, I went to school in the morning for Year One orientation. My afternoon supervisor later told me that she has removed the music lesson from my timetable. How relieved I was snd I knew it was God.
Later, I went for the PE meeting. There, they required me to write the lesson plans in mandarin. So a kind colleague offered me her well typed PE lesson plan which is in mandarin.
Uh!!! What a relief ! Now, not only that I don't need to teach music, I also do not need to write both the Year One and Year Two PE lesson plans! She will tell me what to teach each week. All I need is the manpower (which I have) to carry out the lessons weekly.
I am truly blessed! It's like having a faith exercise in God.
God, you are truly amazing. Thank you so much.
