Special Needs

 "He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him." Psalm 91: 15

Although I've been at that school before, it was the first time I would be working in this particular year group.

Before the kids arrived, the teacher briefed me about what to expect.  She then gave me a list of names of pupils that were going to need special attention. 

I thought, "Holy Spirit, I need your help now!"😀

As it was a big class, there was a lot of preparation to do. At one point, the teacher asked if I wanted to have a break and go for a cup of tea, but I said no. 

I also had to give support to another class teacher.

Later during the day, I asked the first teacher how her day was going. She said the kids in her class were a lot calmer than usual. 

Go, Holy Spirit! 🙏

In the afternoon,  I had to assist the first teacher. She asked me to work with the "problem kids" who like to chat a lot and not follow instructions.  Although it was challenging working  with these kids, by God's Grace, I managed to get all of them to do some work to the best of their ability.

Thank you, God, for helping  me. I don't think I will be returning to that class any time soon. 😀

What is My Function?

At this expo I was working at, I was helping visitors print out their badges with the scanning machine. Whenever I or anyone got close to the scanning machine, it would automatically scan the barcode on their badge and print out another badge. I found  it quite hilarious. 😄 I had to either hide my lanyard badge inside my jacket or try not to stand close to the machine. It got me thinking about functions. The function of the scanning machine is to scan barcodes and print out badges. In other words, the machine has been programmed to scan barcodes and print out badges. The machine doesn't care whether you did not intend for it to scan the barcode, it scans it anyway. In the same respect, I believe the function of all born again Christians is to be ambassadors for Christ.  All Christians are programmed by the renewing of their minds to be ambassadors for Christ.  We renew our minds with the Word of God/Bible. Within every Christian is the Holy Spirit, who is our Helper,...

About Angels

Do I believe in angels? I have always believed in angels. Years ago when a van came from nowhere and almost ran me over, someone pulled me out of the way. I turned round to thank the person, but there was no one there, at least they were not visible to my senses. I believe I was saved by an angel. When I followed the New Age, the belief was you could call on angels to do your bidding. Some people even worshipped angels. As a Christian, I now follow the teachings in the Bible. Angels appear frequently in the Bible. In the Bible: - Angels are God's messengers. For instance  the angel Gabriel was sent by God to tell the virgin Mary that she had been chosen to be the mother of Jesus. (Luke 1: 19) - Angels are sent by God to protect His people or fight various battles.(Psalm 91: 11-12; Revelation 12: 7) - Angels are not there to be at people's beck and call. Instead, they act on God's word.(Psalm 103: 20-21) - Angels are not to be worshipped. If I have a need, I can...

If at First You Don't Succeed

So I put a quiche in the oven to heat it up. By the time I checked it again, it was overdone. I had to scrape the burnt bits off. I didn't share that information with my flatmate, who was at work at the time. The very next day, my flatmate bought me the exact same quiche from the supermarket. I told her I had "cooked" a quiche the day before but it was more burnt than cooked. I believe God had inspired my flatmate to buy that quiche for me. It was His way of saying, if at first you don't succeed, try again.😊 Tomorrow I will have the quiche and be sure to follow the heating instructions. Thank you, Lord, for caring about everything that concerns me including cooking. ❤️
