Due Update

Dear all,

I apologise for not updating the blog. Its been quite a whiles i know but things have been changing and also very busy at Northstar so i didn't get the energy or effort to do up the blog. Indeed so much has happened so let me try to remember it all...

I am okay after the sickness.. everything went well and i am now feeling good. There was a bunch more of injuries (seriously spraining my hand which put me out for 2-3 weeks, old ankle acting up again and neck pains from a crash i had) after the Pneumonia and that just put me out of blogging mood... in fact i am never in blogging mood... like i said before, i hate blogging but i only do it for your (the readers) benefit. Anyway, currently on the sickness issue.. i think i am okay... i am still coughing every now and then but that has always been with me since i can remember... its the occasional kinda cough.. not the pneumonia kind.. its just a feeling i guess... but sometimes i wonder because my chest just started hurting again yesterday. Perhaps its another one of the weird things happening on my body...

School has been good... I have a new assistant helper at school and we will be teaching the school classes together. Derek has been a great blessing to me where school is concerned and i thank God for him. Now going to school is easier and at least there is someone i can talk to as compared to last time, where i go and teach 6 hours straight and then come back all drained and dead with no energy to give a dam about the guest or what anyone else says to me... i was like a walking zombie. Also, i praise God for opening up the opportunity for me to get closer to some of the students... Usually, Derek and I take lunch with the teachers in the staff room, that was the protocol... but weirdly enough, one day, the grade 3 teacher asked us to have lunch in her classroom. I was SO delighted!!!!!!!! This is like a feeling i get when i get a new bike..maybe even more!!! Things worked out well and now we are weekly having lunch in the grade 3 class room with the kids!!! i am so happy!!! I love these kids...especially Kadae (a boy with A.D.D. but the japanese call him retarded.. which i think is ridiculous). Sometimes he gets irritating and i have to keep reminding myself to love him...and in some sense i think that is good for me.

I thank God for this opportunity and ask for your prayers that both Derek and I can be good stewards for His names sake, to show His love and give our hearts to these kids with His strength and His heart always in our own (because God knows we so need it as it can get grueling sometimes and sap us both dead if we were without it). SOOOOOO... Thank you for your prayers and Thank God for just being who He is.. God.
