a rainbow for me :)
God never promised a life all smooth-sailing, but He promised to be there for me thru each trial, each step of the way, and He definitely kept His promise. it's been a trying (and of cos tiring) week for me. was really disheartened & frustrated with how someone treated me, or rather, almost every other person at my workplace. many times, i cried, or teared...esp when my student was wronged & i tried standing up for him but got yelled at. honestly, i didn't cry for myself...as i looked at my student standing there, with tears flowing down his cheeks, i couldn't hold mine back either...and this qn kept ringing in my head "we're all sinners. why won't you give him a chance?" i wanted so much to say tt to the person who wronged my student, and for always labelling him as "the bad boy". i was sad, and really angry.
but God is good. God is gracious. He used a colleague who called me tt evening to comfort me. i was really touched by the christian love this colleague has shown me. she actually noticed i've been down, and bothered to call up to find out wat's wrong. tt evening, i told her wat happened & cried it out, and i felt so much better...shelia dear, too, called up to check on me at night, becos i had sent her a sms earlier in the day during work, to request for prayer...tt God would give me grace & tolerance.
today, a K1 student came up to me with a drawing.
"miss van, this is for you..." when i asked her abt wat she had drawn, she explained her drawing...and after i told her i'd definitely stick it up on the wall in my room, she said something tt really made me smile.
pointing to a brown, green & orange streak at the top of her drawing, she said to me "and this is a rainbow."
what a wondrous God i have, Who loves & cares for me. although God didn't show me a rainbow in the sky, He had a little girl draw one - just for me.
