back in the world of endless readings and reflections.
yes, i feel intellectual suddenly. yay.nehhhh.did i mention that i like school? as nerdy as it sounds, i enjoy school and i enjoy the fact that i get to sit around with my textbooks, two highlighters and my pencil just reading and scribbling. i just dont like assignments. but this is what it becomes of me when I get deprive of good storybook reading time; i read textbooks. lol. this is call... finding joy in what you are doing. so i declare that my new hobby is now reading!...textbooks. sad no life i know. and i am maintaining this no life life for the next 5 more weeks. looking on the bright side, its just... 20 more school days.
at times i get amused at myself.. how you know some people would rather socialise and all,and i prefer sitting in a corner reading. super autistic, but at times i really do feel that i lack the social interaction ability (except that rare incident with julie). but this semester's module is on literacy, speech acquisition, mentoring and helping children cope with stress.. and i am learning more about myself in such interesting ways. OH and the irony of it all, we get stressed out doing the assignments for 'helping children cope with stress'.
SO, today, we watched a documentary "fingers of God" collated by darren wilson in church today, and I just had to blog about it. very often, we wonder about miracles... and honestly I am a skeptic myself at times when I hear of miracles and healings. In this documentary, darren wilson went around for about a year filming and documenting the miracles in churches all over the world where God was pouring out His Spirit upon and throughout the movie, I just kept feeling a stirring in my heart. can you imagine.. lame that were prayed and they walked, the blind that see, the deaf that hear, and the ultimate of it all, the dead coming back to life and testifying. The radical christians in china, in Iraq, and places where they are persecuted, the gypsies who are hated by the people but so loved by God. And from the video, I was reminded of the pure faith of children, and what "normal christianity" is really about.
and as disgusting as it may sound, i actually wrote a reflection after watching the movie. HAH! win hands down i know. all those drilling from wheelock about reflections reflections reflections. I may just become a reflective practitioner afterall muahaha.
did you know that the famous writer C.S. Lewis was a Christian?
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
— C.S. Lewis
beautiful quote that explains it all.
