My Struggle

Ten years growing as a teacher in one of Christian schools in Jakarta is not a short time for me. I could learn a lot of lessons that could help me to be a teacher for my students. I can see the growth of my students since they were pre-schoolers till secondary students. I met different people in my life there and I could have some good friends there. I enjoy my friendships with my co-workers and my togetherness with my students. We enjoy laughs and sharing we have. Oh, I can feel God's guidance in my life and in all struggles I had there. HE really molds me through all 'colours' I got in this school almost ten years.

But I can't deny the situation of my health I have. It has been two years, I feel that I am not the same with the situation of my health before. I could get weak and sick easily every time I am too busy at work.

Maybe my body does not support me a lot to do the same things I did in almost 10 years. My house is really far from the school where I teach. I go to school at 5 am every morning so I should get up at 4 am. Then, I arrive at home after teaching at 7 or 8 pm. After that, I need to continue my work at home till 12 or 1 am. So I have rest only 3 or 4 hours. I realized this situation really made my body gets tired and weaker. I can't stand with this situation. I am still young and I still have a desire to have my own family. I want to have a good health to face my future. This situation really made me to be honest to the management of school where I teach.

I do really love this school but I need to be wiser to my own health. Praise The Lord! I had a good a conversation with the management. I believe they always support me in all things I do. I surrender my next plan to God. Whether I will stay in Kairos again next or move to a school which is not far from my house so that I can have much rest to support my health condition. I believe God will send me in every place where I can serve HIM more using the talent I got from HIM. HE knows the best for me and I will keep trusting HIM.
