Elkan's Special Blessing

Today, God put in my heart to go back to the secondary school I taught in, to visit my mentor class, say hi to some colleagues (sell Teachers' Conference tickets also), follow-up on a 100K blessing student, and prayer walk the school.

I want to give thanks because though I didnt have a chance to do the 100k with the teachers, I managed to bless the key people I worked with, with encouragement notes and packets of M&Ms.

What was more divinely planned was this: In the whole tenure I was there, I NEVER saw the prinicipal ate in the canteen. She would usually packed food to eat in her office. But today I saw her eating with the VPs and some discipline masters, so I plucked up my courage to bless them with the notes & M&Ms.

I sense the spiritual climate change, as they (the teachers and my mentor class) were genuinely very surprised to see me back. I have a feeling there was no precedent before me.

I may not have done the 100k card with them, but in blessing them, I felt God telling me that I am breaking the spirit of disillusionment (many teachers dread to be posted to teach in neighbourhood schools) and spirit of individualism (with the heavy admin load, many of the teachers have lost the heart and passion to care, and just want to mind their own business).

Anyway God threw me a surprise. I got a 100k blessing filled up after all. The person I was following up with, brought along a friend, so I had the chance to share with her. It was amazing because she wanted ALL the blessings that her friend received. Maybe it's because as a N(T) student, nobody has cared or blessed her before.

I felt through this, God was teaching me a valuable lesson that the down and out has a special place in God's heart. In blessing them, I have blessed God's heart as well.
