Yup! You can say that many things in my life are new right now and here are my top three...
Top 3 We are now peacefully (?) living in our new house.
The house is very far from the city but if you need a quiet weekend, our place is just perfect. Some of the perks of living in our place in Compassvale is that there are three shopping places nearby to which you can walk to to buy anything from bread to bikes. The church is also less than ten minutes walk from our place. Add the fact that there is a LRT station right at the end of our block that leads directly to an MRT station and to the rest of Singapore. I heard we are also few stops away from a beach in Punggol but I have not travelled that way yet.
Top 2 I have a new job!
This is my 6th job in ten years and if you count the mini-jobs I've gotten into, this is my 9th. I am now working as a Teaching Assistant in an international school here in Singapore. Assisting teachers handling primary level one is a breeze compared to the work experiences I have had in the past. No lesson plans, just be there and get down to it. The pay isn't much but so is the work. So, as I decipher God's plan for me here...I have a perfect stop for my bed and bread.
Top 1 I have a new view of life and change!
This is a topic in itself but I certainly do not have the time to compose a complete blog. Of course you have heard me say this before. Like...every after I find a new job...or every after I get past an obstacle in life. I guess that is how it goes. Sometimes the lessons are the same...but they repeatedly make a presence in my life and I see it in a new light. Now, life for me is just a passing mystery. You uncover some, and am presented with yet another mystery. No worries! Every concern has an exciting answer yet to unfold. All I need to do is live through my days loving and smiling through my little boxes of surprises. Old friends become new friends. Old concerns become new solutions. Old bondages (or so it seems) become new luxuries. The times, colors and moods of live constantly change. Believing that you have reached a destination is foolish. Everything I worry about do not rescue me in times of need...yet every joy I gave out and every joy I cherish springs back with even more joy and answers.
Life now apart from my family has taught me that my family will always be close to me no matter how far I go. I do not feel very far from them ever as I do have them where they belong- in my heart.
Life now in a school re introduced me to the simple joys of childhood and the many fears we used to not have.
Life now with friends under one roof taught me that there is no use judging individual actions. There is only the person. You love them BECAUSE they are your friends. Actions do not make people. There are only intentions.
