Durian chips! Discovered only at the last trip that Jakarta has it too and for cheaper! Regret that i didn't know from the first trip!

This is the problem...

Met a P3 boy I helped out with in the first term in school. He's been dropped from our pilot scheme since then. I asked him how he fared for the recent CA2 and he said he failed every subject. He explained that he was unable to read and to understand the questions in all his papers. My concern is how did he get to Primary 3 and whether he will fall through the cracks of our education system. Is there a safety net for students like him? At the end of the day, he has to want to try harder at his schoolwork, but what will motivate him to do so? Do keep him in prayer? His name is Samuel. :)

One more tear

Another Wednesday Class, another story. My student wasn't being attentive in class today. Despite going through the words with her, she was able to get it wrong straight after my correction. After Class was dismissed, I sat her down for a chat. The last time she told me her brother hits her a lot. This time it seems things are worse- he has been hitting her mum and grandfather too. I feel sorry that she's got to deal with this at home, but reminded her that this has nothing to do with her decision not to pay attention in Class, that this should spur her to try harder at her work so she won't have to fear her brother. Also told her that her mummy works hard as a nurse and it must be hard to face the issues at home, that she has to try her best so her mum has one less worry. Apparently she enjoys my Class so her mum allowed her to continue with it. Her mum rushes all over the place to make it happen. Please keep my student and her family in your prayers. Thanks!

Victory from our King

The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the lord is enthroned as King forever. The LORD gives strength to His people; the LORD blesses His people with SHALOM. - Psalm 29:10-11 Does it feel like the floodwaters are rising in your life? Do your trials feel heavy? Know that the Daddy God is King over the flood- not just this one, but every flood. What this means is that though you are in battle now, the outcome is a guaranteed victory- victory comes faster when we have maintain that good opinion of Him and continually praise Him through the storm. The flood was not caused by Him but He will scoop you out of the waters that threaten to drown you. Each new day there is more than enough grace to help us cope with the day's tribulations. So tap into that grace through right belief. You see He gives us strength to conquer and also gifts us with His Shalom- wholeness, peace, prosperity or victory, provision,contentment. To have them we need only do one thing- receive.
