Jesus the Answer

In the beginning of this school year, Jc class has a new Chinese cum Form Teacher, Mdm T. She was scolding the class daily and Jc could not take it. In my family, really can talk about Law and Grace. Haha....as you already know about the Law part, today I will talk about the Grace. :D

Before Jc was born, I learnt about how good the brain develop under encouragement and love to how the brain will develop about defence if a kid is always under condemnation. So, for Jc first 5 years of life, we gave her much happiness and joy. She was so much into this that even at 11, she enjoys love so much and could not stand condemnation at all. I don't know if I did the right thing in her growth, but if explained in Grace, then it is okay.

Anyway, this Mdm T had been scolding the class and building her anger that one day, she walked angrily into class and BANGed her bag onto the wooden table that even the teacher in the next class came over to check if she was okay.

This scene registered in Jc as great fear that she escaped her Chinese remedial class. She told me looking at the teacher in class already is more than enough. She did not want to see her again after school!!! Jc even wondered if she could fail her Chinese tests so that she need not study it anymore!!!

The teacher had to command Jc to come to her remedial class twice before Jc went. Mdm T called me that afternoon and I had to advise her to cool off, not to stress up by the kids.

That evening, I was prompted to write a letter to Mdm T. I let her know that kids reacted in 2 ways under accusation --> rebel or escape into cave. Jc belongs to the 2nd group.

I also shared with her on Pastor Lian testimony on her teaching days. Pastor Lian as a new teacher in a secondary school, was sent to teach the lousiest class. In this class, there was this boy that was real bad. He could throw class furniture around when antagonised. Daily in class, he played a pen knife and even disfigured the table. The teachers were fearful of him!

Pastor Lian, being a young teacher, decided to pay him a visit. He lived in a rented 1-roomed flat that the whole family clamped in there. After the mum talked to the teacher, this boy came to the door. Pastor Lian wanted to praise him but there was nothing good of him to talk about!

Then, Lord led her to see his face looked like some Hong Kong star and the boy agreed that his friends told him so too! He finally had a smile on his face.

After that encounter, the boy had good impression on the teacher and even helped her with carrying the students book to office. Even though he still hardly talk, but he did not play his pen knife anymore. Glory to Jesus! End!

After I wrote the letter to the teacher, Mdm T talked to Jc, and asked why Jc run away from remedial class. After some guessing, she asked Jc if she fearful of her and Jc said yes.

The school wants all teachers to talk 1-1 to the pupils at least once in the whole school year. Jc got her talk with the Form Teacher recently. Teacher asked about what subject she like, comment on her love on gymnastic and asked how she relax herself. After the talk, Jc now said she like the teacher. Glory Glory!

With so much condemnations in school, kids do need some fresh air of care and concern. For Jc, if I am angry with her, she will want me to hug her to give her some comfort. So, the scolding always end with comforting her.

I am glad with what Lord has been helping me to deal with situation in daily life. Usually all things work out well. Glory to Jesus! Amen Amen!

The Foot Steps of God

Long ago, when I saw the presentation of walking with God, it's about a little kid foot s with God Big foot steps and this slowly become just 1 set of foot steps.

For the past 4 years, I had been signing my girl's test papers and surely, untidy is part of the deal. I did not take much notice of how she presented her answers as most times her mistakes caught my focus. But even she got the answers correct, the way she presented her problem sum is untidy.

Yesterday, when I looked at her papers, every one of the problem sum is well presented, very neat. It stands out for me to know that it's not jc's work, more like someone has done it for her. It so neat and good! It's Lord's hand and Lord's mind working through hers! No wonder she said it so easy! Lord's trade mark is about making people WHOLE. He sure did it for Jc's mathematics!

I am looking forward to see His Work on the rest of Jc subjects. Surely surely He has made my girl whole again. Glory Glory!

Jc has a hack care attitude when come to her study. Her focus is only on her International Dance and Gymnastics. These 2 areas are gifts from the Lord! Glory Glory! Amen Amen! In fact, she is influencing her friends to perfect their stunts! So far, a few has taken up her challengue! Glory Glory! Her school even use gymnastic movement on PE period, training the kids on their hands and legs movement and co-ordination.

I like her school, they were new when Jc registered. They got professional dancer to teach jazz as morning workout before lesson starts once a week. Through there, kids that shows talent in their body movement are invited to join the dance. Glory Glory!

Then last year, the dance teacher wanted some gymnastic movement and got the kids to practice more in that area. Jc is able to perfect some of the turning forwards and backwards just by watching how others did them in youtube and practise herself and it took her just a few days to perfect it. Glory Glory!

Lord get her daddy to sign her up a creative gymnastic and the school accepted her to the intermediate level, just by observing what she could do herself. Glory Glory! Amen Amen! Lord made her straight body flexible so that she could do the turning. Jc reported there were some cracking sound in her and she could bend backwards. Hallelujah!

Usually, Jc textbook is perfectly clean, means she did not write much in the text. But yesterday, I saw one full page of underlining and writing. Surely, Lord is making her Chinese Whole again. Glory Glory!

It is interesting to see how Lord has been moving in her. Lord's way is inward transformation and enabling that no amount of nagging could do that kind of transformation. I am so happy that Lord is transforming Jc! All that she could not, now she could! I am now happier with her studies. Glory Glory! The 4 years of wait is finally showing result. I am well please!

To see Lord's way is so precise and so perfect, I know Lord promise of Jc will be a scientist is finally taking shape. All the unable, just a touch of His Grace and Favour, are being make whole! I need not worry for her anymore.

Her friends thought that she is beyond comparing. One girl even called her Idiot indirectly! I know who she was referring. Lord wait till everyone look down on her, then give her a taste of the transformation. Just from the maths test, 3 classmates contacted her with the amazement excitment. I am looking for Lord to change all her subjects. Then it will be picture perfect for me. Glory Glory!

Abba Father, when all give up hope, all see Jc can't and I can't, then You come to show them the Light, put us in Your Glory to shine, and make them turn their head. Haha...Glory Glory!!! Amen Amen!!! The 5 years of wait is worth it! A thousand thanks is not enough to praise Your Good Work! It is Good! Good! Good! Forever and ever!!! Amen Amen!
