Monday Yellows

No I do not have any Monday Blues. I have happy Monday Yellows. It was a terrific day. I am thankful for the clarity and strength for the day, and I suspect that it's got to do with the prayer we had last night.

Last night, Brandon and I prayed together and it was really good. It was fruitful and we were both very refreshed and felt a strong sense of direction in our lives. I bet you heard it umpteen times, but one touch from the Lord and you will never be the same again. I found back the momentum to tarry in the presence of God. Hearing from God is far better than trusting your own intuition or guts, you just got to try it. It's easy to lose the momentum to pray but once you get the hang of it, you will not stop. Like a drug, it's insatiable, it's unquenchable fire and thirst.

Anyway my day was exceptionally long and tired. I started my day at 630am and make my way to teach. I didn't talk much about my teaching last week because it was a struggle for me. Plus I do not like to rant about my damsel unless I have something encouraging to talk about. Anyway like what I was saying, I struggle badly in the classes. I was nervous and the classes weren't as energetic and lively I wanted to be. So I prayed really hard and press in in the natural, making sure I am prepared in my content and ready to teach. Last week when I taught, there are just so many things hanging at the back of my mind. I didn't wanted to be there, neither do I love the students nor am I passionate about their learning. But today I enjoyed the classes so much, every session was a great bonding time for me and the students. And I want to thank God for the good feedback from the teachers.

Last week, I had this another trainer that was with me. Her name is Ross and let me tell you, she's a natural. She is funny, loud, crazy and sarcastic. The students love her plus I love her. I got lost in her class many times, I am so amused and entertained by her. But at the same time, I find it hard to be like her. I did wanted the students to enjoy my class like how they enjoyed hers. So that's one of the reasons why I struggled. But I prayed and I walked with God, and God just assure me to find my own edge and tap into it. And I just want to thank God for the clarity and courage to teach the students. All the glory to God. I told you if you pray specifically, He will answer specifically too. Our God is a prayer-answering God.

I feel like I am baring my life to you. Anyway here are the photos.
