i can feel it in my aching bones... this week is going to be a better week for the following reasons:
1. All the sec threes are attending some adventure camp from mon to wed so that gives me a lot of time to plan and prepare my lessons. That also means i have only one class to teach from monday to wednesday.
2. In my slump cum depressive state, i was reminded by God that wherever He has placed me, i am to see that place as a part of my eternal inheritance and not "eternal" torment. Psalm16:6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance
3. Somehow, also hearing this news perks me up. recently, there seemed to be a spiritual attack on a particular student in this school and according to the experienced teachers, this is not an unusual case as cases like these also happen in other neighbourhood schools. Shall not name names here. Strangely to me this was sort of comforting news. Its not just that the students are being malicious or rebellious as and when they feel like it but there is also a spiritual dimension that influences/encourages such behaviour. When i heard and realised that, i was at first perturbed. But as i mulled over it while walking home and taking my shower, i realise that there is something i can do to change this. Psalm 18:29, 33-34

For by You I can run against a troop,
By my God I can leap over a wall...
He makes my feet like the feet of deer,
And sets me on my high places.
He teaches my hands to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

I'm not going to become some exorcist but i know i have nothing to fear, nothing to lose, everything to gain as i begin to cover the school in prayer.

So there you go. Despite my bones aching (always a sign that my immune system is really low), i am strengthened by the hope that is in my God.
