Love but hate them...







I have an end of the week class with a mixed group of middle school students. It is called a discussion class and all we do is talk for 35min, which is very easy since this class love chatting. I choose three topics and they choose three.

So the other day in class we were having a discussion on what the students believe will happen after they die... (hectic conversation) but most of them, not being christian so i was very interested in what they had to say. So finally one of my more favorite students but her hand up and said, "teacher, i like Jesus. I think i want to go to Heaven" i replied, "well thats great Clara, and how do you think you will do that?". She thought for a second, turned to me with her big confused eyes and said " teacher, i don't know, there is no academy for that". It was so cute I just wanted to hug her.





(this is not her in the picture but these girls are so cute)
The girl infront -Mina- is new in my baby class but very smart
Middle is Daisy -Daisy annoys the living day light out of me- but she brings me a lot of candy and I give her stickers in exhange so its a good deal
At the back is Jasmyn, one of my favorites!!! An only child at home but so friendly you would never say she was.

Church Family

So i have been neglecting my post for about 3 months now and so many things have changed since my last post. Let's talk about the biggest change that has happened thus far. I found a church family for the first time in my life. And what a blessing it has been. Let’s start at the beginning.

I come from a very blessed and happy childhood, with great parents and siblings but have never found a church that i felt comfortable with. So one night chatting with some of my mates, i realized that i have been missing that church part in my life. Not just that but also, i have been missing a relationship with God. They gave me no chance out (i did not want a chance out) and went the next morning to church. People at church were so welcoming. Went for lunch and from that moment my relationship started with God as well as the church.

I have never been much of a pray person but I could not stop praying. On the bus on my way home. In between classes. In the shower. As thoughts popped up I just surrendered everything to HIM. I soon found that it is not just a day relationship but that you have to keep working at your faith everyday every possible moment. I also found that God blesses those who believe, and that even if you think that HE has forgotten you, it is us that have forgotten about HIM. And He is waiting with open arms for us to just want a relationship with HIM.
