Marketplace aka Work Place
Colleagues are good to have, especially if you can get along well with them. It will be a bonus if you can develop close friendships with them and these relations even stay after one of you leaves the work place.By the Grace and Provision of the Lord, I have the opportunity to know a great bunch of colleagues from my previous work places. In the first school I taught in, I got to know 20 over ladies over the span of 8 years. My Principal cum Mentor was a godly and wise lady. Working under her not only equipped me for this field beyond the teaching skills, she had also taught me the Christian principles behind human dynamics. My colleagues were also a wonderful lot of Christian ladies.
On New Year's day, I was invited to a dear ex-colleague's son's wedding. My hubby was perplexed that I was invited to a wedding whereby I don't even know the groom and bride. Hee .... strange hor? But, it was very fun. Ahem, it just shows how young I was when I first started in this career, grins. Our table was like a reunion sort of setting. Lots of laughter, pulling of one another's legs, teasing, catching up etc. And of course, we were noisy. Thankfully, we were in a very good corner.
At my second work place, though it was just a short stint of 3 months, I am blessed to know 3 very good colleagues who are in their 40s. They are full if wisdom whenever they give me parenting advises. I am so happy to "see" beyond my circumstances through their experiences, that alone can save me from potential heartaches.
Truly, at times it is good to

This is my 3rd year in this Kindergarten I'm working with. By God's provision again, I am glad that I can have a part time teaching post. The timing fits perfectly around my two children's schooling hours. Initially, I would have to stop teaching for this year if Zoe is in Primary One. Zoe's deferment will enable me to bring her along to work and continue to teach. Thank You, Lord!
At this place, I am also very blessed to be surrounded by very good and understanding colleagues. I have good bosses and mentors too. And .... being in a Christian environment helps me to grow, in faith and in grace.
Amen.
Love,
