A Blessing has came to me in love

A semester has started. The first grade students needed to adjust at so many things because they just came from kinder garden. Joses and I, two Koreans came in the classroom with discipline teacher at the first day, were one of new things that the students faced.

We could not catch what we should help in the classroom on first day, but God has led us to know what we should do. Even though the homeroom teacher had misunderstood us as the helper for part time, when we let her know that we were supposed to be in the classroom following her schedule she appreciated us very much and we did, too. And she gave us very good opportunity in her class. We guided some students who do not understand what the class is learning. One of them could not write in English what he heard. Another one was not be able to add.

I have been with girls when they go to the restroom, have checked their math sheets, and have eaten with them in lunchtime. They are so lovely!!!

But I have had a hard time, too. Teaching math in English was not easy even it was very simple adding. Something harder than it was that some boys had not admitted Joses and I as another teacher. They had ignored me and obeyed to only their homeroom teacher. It is very natural but if you have not been the sub teacher in a classroom, you could not understand what I felt. I did not know how to teach them having respect for everyone in the school yet I have prayed for that I can stand their teasing. They started to admit me as their helper after three days.

I am learning with first grade. I had to practice the national anthems of CNMI and USA because they sing it in every morning. I am also memorizing merrily the mission statement.

The cute students are in my prayer. There is a problem boy in our class. No one can stop him. He does not fear anybody. I sensed that he has many hurts in his heart from his family for he is just six years old. But I am asking wisdom to God for that I can lead him without wound.

I really appreciate God for moving teachers’ heart and open us their classrooms and many parts of assembly. We are in a great blessing not for our circumstance, but for His guiding us to be in everywhere by faith in God.
I will obey to God when He wants me to have faith founded on Him in many circumstances.
