good morning sir!

a couple months ago, i received a call from mom's friend, aunty veronica. she asked if i was interested in teaching sunday school. normally when i was asked about such queestion, my mind would start digging for all the answers to reject the offer or request. however, this time, i did not do that. i listened and i asked and i agreed!

i am not a born christian. when i was a small boy, i did follow my neighbour to bible class during school holiday and attended sunday service occassionally. that was all i can remember about my journey with God. then, i was baptised in a catholic church in 2003. when i was first baptised, i thought i would want to be active in church activities like joining the church choir, but i never did. i am just like most people, the only activity that i have been participating in the church is the weekly mass.

last night i went for the meeting for sunday school teachers. i will be assisting aunty veronica in primary 4 class, 10-year-old kids who are preparing to receive thier first holy communion. i was really amazed with the teachers that i have met last night. they have so much passion and enthusiasm in teaching the word of God to the young ones and they are not as old as i have imagined! the youngest one is only 17 years old and she is in-charge of the pre-school kids. they shared their experience and i could see achievement in their eyes. there are 2 new assistant teachers this year, a lady and myself. i expressed my doubts and nervous in teaching, especially i am not a big fan of noisy small kids :o)



anyway, i see this as God's calling and i want to give it a try.

tomorrow will be the first day of the sunday school, for registration and no teaching. i will see how it goes tomorrow :o)

have a blessed and peaceful weekend, everyone!
