Nearly a Year

Hiya folks,

It's been nearly a year ( shame, shame!) that I haven't been blogging. Amanda ( my soon to be 18 year old daughter) made a promise to blog everyday so here I am...inspired by her discipline, though I know I probably wont be able to find time or brain cells to blog everyday.

Many changes in my life. Next week will be the last day I am teaching. I am taking another break from Kindermusik. This time around, I feel like I really need a break because I am feeling tired, and the joy of teaching is not the same as before. I suppose lots of factors are involved. I miss the time I have with my family on Saturdays. Every weekend goes by so quickly. I have missed so many activities of my kids because I am away teaching. It's time to take a break. Hubby is glad, the kids are happy ( I hope) that mummy is less frazzled every saturday.

AND, Amanda is got accepted into a US college. Knox College in Illinois. My geography is pretty bad ( !) so I took out my dusty and neglected atlas to see where Illinois is. Sigh....it's very far away from Malaysia! She got a scholarship as well. Hubby and I are very proud of her. We know ( in our heads) that this is going to be a HUGE milestone in her life. Studying in US is going to open her eyes to so many things, and she is probably going to grow into a different person from who she is now. My heart is cracking though. It's very hard to let go. But I thank God that I have a God who loves Amanda more than I can ever love her. Even though I cannot be there for her physically, He is watching over her at all times. Gosh, I hope by the time she leaves, I am all cry-ed out. I am a mess at the moment....

I am also going to take over the role of the head of the children ministry in church. God has been speaking clearly and I know He wants me to do this. I know the workload will be tremendous, but I also know that as long as I am depending on God, the burden will be light. I pray that I will not lose focus on God, and will not lose focus on what is essential, learn to let go of the peripherals and concentrate on the important things.

Ha...I havent written this long for a long time. Excuse the grammar mistakes please....
