I need to go on strike. I tried today. Failed. Haha! I thought I had made it clear that doing dinner on Sundays is no-no for me. Yet, I got a call in the middle of the day while I was out saying that if I don’t go back early to cook the salmon today, the males at home will be really pitiful to not get to eat Salmon. I got extremely defensive, I admit, to hear that. I mean, weekdays I’m ok with it, in fact, I really enjoy cooking and seeing them enjoy the fruits of my labour, but Sundays? I just don’t want to! ):
I guess I was rude to think, ‘Excuse me? What you mean they’ll be pitiful?! Too bad!’ In a way, I will always feel bad saying those kinda things, but then the selfish side of me reacts in such a manner. So anyway, when I got home at 7pm after the mentoring session at Carol’s, I still did it anyway, sulking, as much as I insisted I wouldn’t.. To a certain extent, though not much, I feel bad. You know, my greatest weakness these days is to indulge in self-pity. I was just SMSing my form teacher (who is Christian) that in some days amidst trials where I don’t see God’s hand, I just go into that self-pity mode. She said yes I’m sure that God will provide your every need. This is absolutely nothing new, but it’s really encouraging to know that she’d very much like to be a part of God’s work in her student’s life!
I may not be in a Mission school like AC, but the greatest blessing in RJ is to know that in the secular world, there are Christians out there, and it’s that common thing that draws Christians together, no matter how short you’ve known each other. This is something I’d take for granted in ACJC. Yea! (: I’m glad!
