In hiding

I am hiding in the computer lab after the remedial session with my pupils. Here is where I can get some peace. I really have no idea how teachers can continue talking even when they have been talking the whole day.

I am quite high strung at the moment. So are the teachers in my level. One colleague said she has been snapping at anybody and everybody who crosses her path. I think we are all stressed going into this last week of preparation for the kids taking their PSLE.

I reckon the anticipation of the PSLE next week doesn't make me feel better. Because together with that, I know that I am also PMSsing, and with the issues that were brought up during Ezer's discussion yesterday, it sparked off quite a few thoughts in me. I can't really talk about my thoughts till I process them and I can't process them when I do not have some quiet time of contemplation and writing to verbalise what I feel. So being in this place, at this time, is good.

It doesn't help too, that people are asking about the follow up from the family sharing session. I do not feel good knowing that there are two distinct point of views, I do not feel good that I can understand where both sides are coming from. I do not feel good that I do not have a clear answer at the moment how to best handle the situation. I feel like I am standing in between, and stretched.

If I don't know better, it feels like I am hard pressed at every side. At times like this , I thank God for His promises, that the bible says in 2 Corinthians 4: 8 - 9 that "We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed." Thank God for His word.

ahah! That's one of the reasons why memorising verses are important. :) People of God, we must pray. Pray for the CG, pray for direction, pray for one another, and pray for our own walk to be in existence, that we may hear and know what is God's way.
