What makes me busy

Today, as I relish my day off, I realize that my facebook and internet activities are ABOUT the things that I value in my life.

God

Family

Relatives

Small group

Girlfriends

Kids Church

Education

These are where my time and energy and resources mostly go.  Not via facebook literally, hehe. 

So when there's an invitation that's not part of this list, they go to the bottom of my priorities.  If an office mate would invite me to watch movies after work on a Saturday, I remember my nephew Nate who stays with us during the weekends and how I only have four opportunities in one month to build a relationship with him.  

Or if cliques from high school would meet up for a drink on a night when I don't have to go anywhere, I imagine the expenses that can buy dinner for the family instead or that can buy something for a lonely tita that I care about.

See,  there are things that I don't do in order to do well what I need to do.  

We only have one life, 16 waking hours, two day off's a week and two paydays in a month.  

And we would want to make the most of it.

What, get a life?

I am.

This is my life: God, my loved-ones, my dreams.  These make me happy.  To live a life dedicated to building relationships within my ability and magnify Jesus' Name in stewardship and relationships.  And until He tells me to come and jump off the boat to a greater territory and greater responsibility, this is where I'm staying.

Every Nation week

Teachers dressed up for Every Nation week at Kids Church

One of them conversations I enjoy

I waited patiently outside the cubicle while she did her thing. 

Ereka: Are you sure you're not peeking?

Je: No, of course not.

Ereka: When I was a small kid I used to play bubbles.

Je: Aren't you still a small kid?

Ereka: No! I'm a big girl! I'm five years old already! 

I smiled at her cuteness. We talked about her dolls, her lola's dolls, her disney princess, my disney princess, her feeble attempt to jump in a kiddie pool, etc.

I did peek cause it's more than 5 minutes already. She must be enjoying the chat and taking her time cause I can see her cute little feet dangling while she sat on the toilet. We went on chatting as she took her time to wash her hands and dry her hands and fix her ponytail. Then it was time to go back to the classroom. :(

I really relish conversations with these little humans. :)

Bird!

Kid 1: Teacher, he said a bad word.


Je: Dont say that bad word again ha.


Kid 2: (eyerolling) it's just "bird"


Je: Ok, it's not a bad word, he means the flying animal.


Kid 3: Duh! It also means a body part.




-oh my, teacher needed grace.
