Impact of Children

Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! so long didn't blog...feels a bit strange but...haha..i'm fine...i'm just so happy that recently, i've just known a person, her name? for me to know for you to find out! when i first saw her, she's a young, bubbly cheerful girl who just wants to serve. Oh i tell you, this girl really has passion, and lots of it, for the children. She is someone i would say, a completely devoted Children's Church teacher. What's even more amazing is that she's only 16 this year and already, she has great dreams! I admire people of such calibre. i must say that, well, she's the next generation leader. However, what many of you, i think, might not have guessed, is that this girl has had her own personal problems, some of which will just blow your mind off. She's not as able to freely express her own emotions to people as some, but she's determined to change that. When i did bus with her the first time, i saw her really engaging the children on the bus, something many new teachers nowadays fail to do. She even made lasting relationships with them, for example, my XW204 kids, Stephanie and Elizabeth, Casey and Caryn. These kids, especially, Casey and Caryn, has just join CHCC for 1 month, but, due to the relationship that this girl has built with them, they are now SUPER regulars, with Casey even quickly integrated into the CG! Praise The Lord. Looking back, this girl said, it is the love of these children, who showered her with gifts and love messages, that help her overcome her problems, especially that she's now more able to express her feelings to the people around her. Praise The Lord.

Looking back, indeed many times we feel that children cannot amount to anything great. Maybe we just need to take a backseat and observe and feel. These children, though might not be able to give you tangible material things, but what they can give is everlasting, unforgettable, and something of great healing power.

To this girl - continue to shine for Jesus in whatever you do. Live your life right and know that you've truly impacted leaders of the next generation. Love you.
