Serenity Pray

I was teaching catechism this morning.
I ask my students to copy the Prayer.
I realize that it's "quite long" for their age to copy so long.
So I just ask them copy the verse:
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can."

Explaining to them I ask them to answer question so that they fully understand the meaning of "SERENITY"

The question is this:
"What is the things that you cannot change in home"
one of my students write:
"I don't like to play racing car with my brother,
but I still play with him because he is my brother"
How understanding the kids are!!
They really teach me the true meaning of serenity:
To accept and "TO DEAL WITH IT"
"COURAGE"
to accept as is is and deal with it NOT change other, but myself.

Year of Faith

 

The launching of the Year of Faith by Bishop.

I had resigned!

At last, after one year in the kaolin manufacturing industry I have decided to take a break.
I send my resign letter to HR manager last Saturday.
My patient and my limit has reach its peak.
I'm still jobless and no further planning,
it might sound UNCERTAIN
but then the moment I resign, I have a great sense of relief.
I knew then it's a right decision.
I couldn't wait any longer, I must force myself to make a decision.
A decision for my future.

Lord God thank you for the courage.

Wrapping paper

Its 2 pieces of wrapping paper that cost me RM2.40

I was moody today, as I when to stationary shop to photocopy,
I saw this two colourful wrapping paper.

My heart fill of joy and exitment again!
Maybe because of the flower and cheerful colour that make my day.
The wrapping paper also remind me one of my mentor that I meet in Sabah.
Bea is her name, she used to journey with me in my faith, my leadership.
She love craft too! http://beachongcards.blogspot.com/
She and her husband has been kind to me.
If I'm going to use one word to describe my reflection of the day?
It will be REDISCOVER
Rediscover of the reason that make me happy.
Thank You Bea!

Reminder from Stephanie

I was chatting with Stephanie just now via Facebook,
suddenly she said: " I see that u are not blogging again.."
Ya... She get me!!

It has been a looonnngggggggggggggg time I didn't go for blogging.
Maybe because I can talk about what I'm going through to others,
I have become more open compare to last time?
(I suppose)

Time is limited and precious for me.
You must be asking how come I don't blog anymore?
Well the true is I'm not good in time management.
 
1 I put more of my time on work
-which now I feel useless.
I was really dissapointed with my manager.
After all my effort, I don't seem where I'm going with the current job...
Again I told myself: It's time to go!

2 I put more time in church.
I teach cathecism in church.
I involve with the youth.
I involve with the SSVP(I'm not active, just to see what's happening there)
I involve with the choir, and I finally got chance to sing Psalm! =)
I have 2 great teacher.... Thank You Uncle Victor and
William, You are the best!

3 I spend more time talking on the phone.

Well, maybe like Steph said,
blog is fun, it really gives a good feeling!
I'll try my best to write more...

I think I need to maintain my prayer life
William said we need to have a consisten pray life.
It's time to do homework.
Thank you for the advice.

Whatever happen, God is there...
help us go through..

I need to tell myself its okay.
Even if it hurt, its okay.
I just need to be strong.
Everything will be fine.

Reflection

I took leave today,
I am happy because at last!! I can rest....

I'm tired with all the things that happen around me.
The tension that I have, The feelings I have.
I have make my decision to resign from my current job.
As it really make me tired and hard to breath.
That's why I took leave today, and really give myself a time.
A time to sit down and to think of my life; my future.

I realize that all these while I'm trying to deal with my weakness.
I'm learning how to be strong; how to be calm in the storm.
I put my effort to do the best and to perform well.
I tried so hard until I forget about myself.
The "ME"

I spend so much time dealing with my weakness;
and I forgotten to improve and develop my strength.
I put so much effort in achieving;
and I have forgotten to enjoy my life.
I hold it so close until I don't want to let it go.
I try my best to do what I HAVE to ;
and I forgotten what I WANT to do.

Derek ever tell me to find "opportunity" not look into the "limit"
True.
In my work place there's no "limit"; there's opportunity
Opportunity to success in doing it.
I know I can perform well if I were giving some times more.
However I do not want this.
Because I know whatever happen,
at the end of the day,
I loose my identity as "Sharon", because I try to be good
I try to be good in my job in the eyes of my superior;
and I forget to love myself, to take care my self;
I failed to follow my dream.

I learned a great lesson today.
What I need is not really achieve and overcome my weakness.
But to develop my strength, and to enjoy my life.
To live the life that I want,
To do the things that make me happy again.
That is God's desire and calling
To be happy....

I pray also for my 2 friend that have decided to resign
(coincidentally a day before I decided) that they will find their way.
My friend, find your happiness....

It's Lent again

It's had been more that 2 months I stop blogging.
I'm quite busy with works, and really feel tired.
Tired of getting complains,
tired of the things which is unorganized,
where things are out of control,
tired of the human behavious and the problems that comes along the way.
I guess in all the situations, the feelings I have
I need to VOICE it out!
Well thanks to my friend Stephanie,
I'm starting to write again
(since someone is reading my blog! =) )

Somehow, untill this point of my life,
I still believe that i'm called to be here where I've worked.

To learn to be patient;
To learn how to talk and manage;
To learn to have courage;
To learn how to be confident;
To learn how to not let my compassion
be my weakness, but my strength.
To learn to stand for truth and just
even though there's reason for mistake.
To be still in the storm;
To sing praise in the trials
To have faith in God, no matter what.

My favourite day is still Sunday,
cause I can go to church!
I can be just me.
I don't have to pretend to be strong;
I don't have to be stright
infront my staff and my colleage.
I can just be me, be kind, be good listener
and always smile and have fun whole day!
Thank God for that opportunity!

It seem to have 2 life and two personality,
but then again I need to count the blessing I have,
and to appreciate the unexpecting joys I have.
To see the good in all the trials I have.

God, in this Lent
give me the serenity to accept things I cannot change;
give me the courage to forgive;
strengthen me in this journey
as I experience what you have experienced before;
continue to inspire and bless me
so that I may be blessing to others. Amen
