When you have lived almost half of your life being independent, away from your family, sometimes our tendencies is to become self-absorbed, its “I, me, myself” mentality. The worst thing that happens is to live each day having those “I feel, I think, I doubt and etc.” mode.
Just two weekends ago, I went into this mode of self-absorption again. But thank God for His grace, I was able to pull myself out of it. I had my Kids Small Group at 3PM and at about 3:20 PM we were done with the lesson. One of the kids, Celine, blurted out, “ang igsi ng small group natin ngayon ah”. Then I suddenly snapped out of it. Gosh, I was so ashamed of my kids. They excitedly attended the small group and there I was, having my thoughts lingering at space.
Before entering the 7PM Kids Church where we were scheduled to teach, I asked God to give me a refreshed spirit. Of course, I did not want to be in front of the kids looking pale. Then a fresh spirit came by, I felt energetic and more joyful.
Also, thanks to the newly renovated KC room. We were surprised with a pastel-striped colored room and my spirits (along with other volunteer teachers) were lifted high. During our usual after KC wrap-up session, the other teachers shared some awesome answered prayers or victory reports. As for me, I just told my group, the new KC room gave me a nice breather.
