Happy new year all!
Finally, 2016 has become a history and 2017 is here for us to write a story.
2017 is especially different from me since I transferred school. This is my first time in the past 4 years that I am not that worry if I can wake up in the morning or not as my reporting time is now 10+ am in the morning instead of 7am. The school is further though....so I will spend more time commuting between home and school.
Unfortunately, this is also my first time of not knowing what to do on my first class. Usually, I roughly know the steps on what am I supposed to carry out in class. I may not know my students well, but I had always know my stuff well. I know the syllabus, I know what resources that I have and what can I do to 'entertain' them. This time round is totally different. I am no longer teaching English and Maths, but Bahasa Indonesia. I had no prior experience of teaching the subject and has never handle teenagers before. I have been wondering on how I can survive this week and next week.
When I was scrolling down my instagram, I saw a post by youth preacher, Christofer Tapiheru. He posted, "Ketika kita kehilangan yang biasa kita andalkan, Tuhan sedang mengajar kita untuk mengandalkan hanya Dia." Wow! That's so me! For the past 4 years, I have been depending a lot on my own ability, on what I have....my preparation, my skill, my talent...basically I depended a lot on what God had given me instead of depending on God himself. How ironic! And today I realized that I can no longer depend on those ability because I don't know anything at all...no teaching experience, no prior resources, no skill in handling teens....
Thankfully, although I no longer have anything that I can depend on, I still have God who would never leave me, whose grace was, is and will always be sufficient for me.
