Juanita’s blog

It’s been a while since I last blogged. I’ve been pretty busy with many things lately. I thought I’ll be able to have a break after my studies, but, apparently it turned out not. I’m changing accommodation again soon. This time I’ll be staying with one of my sisters in Christ from church. She just bought a unit and I asked her whether she is willing to accomodate me for the next 5 months. So, she agreed and I’m really thankful for that. At first, I was abit worried when I got the notice that I need to move out from church. But, God knoweth our needs even before we come before Him to ask from Him. For the past 3 years, I truly believe that God has provided for all my needs and never once did I lack anything.

I really pray that I’ll be able to finish my packing as soon as possible and also settle down easily. Kate hasn’t been talking to me for the past 2 days since she knew I might not be able to walk her to school the next term. I guess she must have felt sad and abandoned that I’m not going to walk her to school anymore. Well, it saddens me too. I was really upset when I realised I can’t do this nanny job anymore. As I walk with her this morning, I prayed a silent prayer in my heart, asking God to help her remember the things that I’ve taught her and the Bible stories I’ve told her, and also that she will grow up to know God and that God will know her too.

Last week when I babysitted her, we spend so much fun together. Uncle George took us out for coffee and she had a big cup of hot chocolate and marshmellows. Then she draw pictures and I sang songs from "Then sings my soul" to her. She wanted to write something on the white board, so I said okay, then she drew a stars with spaces and wrote down "the special things to you". I asked her to write down what and who are special to her, and to my surprise, she wrote down God. I was so glad and thankful that she wrote that down. She never fails to cheer my day with the Bible things I’ve told her. Eventhough Kate’s family are not Christians, but I really pray that she will grow up to remember the Word of God that I have sowed into her heart. I regard childrens as blessings from God, they’re so adorable and have such fragile hearts.

To be honest, I don’t want to quit this job. But, it would take an hour to walk to her place after I moved out. I don’t think I want to wake up 6am in the morning and start walking in the cold winter weather. I really wonder whether getting a bicycle would be a good idea or not?? I’ll pray about this, and God willing, I can still take Kate to school.

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it.
