On expectations and reality
7:49 PM"Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings. But I in justice shall behold your face; on waking, I shall be content in your presence." Psalm 17:8, 15
At some moments in our life, we may feel that we do not have enough strength to do something that we are expected to do. For me, it has been a struggle to be a "teach by example". Being a teacher and somewhat a team coach, it's hard for me to carry out my job fully. There was a time when the people around me are expecting a lot of things from me because I am <insert job title here>. Which is true, we can't blame them for looking for something I should do. But being someone expected to do something and being yourself are two different stories.
It may take a while before we can adjust to certain situations. Like my job for example. It has already been a year and I should say I'm still not used to it. Even though I keep saying I love my new role, the challenges that comes along with it are too tough. But whenever I encounter these things, God tells me, "This is your mission." Going through good times and bad are included in the package.
With this I pray to the Lord that he'll keep me in His sight and guide me through. I am confident that God is here with me as I work my progress towards living the life I teach. One thing's for sure - and it goes not just for me but for everyone - reaching out to God is the best way to cope in how we live our life.
Lord, thank you for giving me the chance to be with my family today. It has been a tiring day but You gave me enough strength to hear Your message through Your Word. Continue to bless me and my family.
